Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, the NFL and the San Diego Chargers underwent a radical change. The NFL altered rules to significantly expand the passing game. And the Chargers had the players to take advantage. All they needed was a coach. On September 25, 1978, flight PSA 182 crashed in San Diego, killing everyone on board and several people on the ground. A few miles up the road, the Chargers were introducing Don Coryell as their new head coach in the sort of bizarre timing usually seen only in Hollywood action thrillers. As for Coryell, no one cared about him, given the tragedy of the crash. That would be the last day that no one would care about Don Coryell. Part 2 of the history of the San Diego Chargers covers the "Air Coryell" era, 1978-1986. Under Coryell, the Chargers were inches close from the Super Bowl in three seasons. But they were also the most exciting team in the league. In the era of disco, they were the ultimate disco team, fast and flashy, fancy, and winners who played under the sunny California sun. For most fans of the San Diego Chargers, and certainly any fans who were in San Diego during this time, these are the 'real' Chargers, the pinnacle of the team's history. They played some of the NFL's most exciting games in this era. The Miracle That Died. The Freezer Bowl. This is just the apex of their great moments in this era. Get on board now and relive the Glory Days!

Forward by Pro Football Hall of Famer Lance Alworth.
Download or read book Sid Brooks Tales from the San Diego Chargers Locker Room written by Sid Brooks and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2006 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his 27-year tenure with the San Diego Chargers, equipment manager Sid Brooks kept over 5,000 football players from appearing naked before their cheering fans. The first African-American to hold the job of equipment manager in the NFL, Brooks' job was to see that each player left the locker room in uniform. But the means to that end was far more complicated -- and outrageous -- than one would believe.Sid Brooks' Tales from the Chargers Locker Room takes the reader aboard the elevator to B2, the basement of Qualcomm Stadium, where the Chargers locker room is housed. In that basement, the equipment department and trainers, affectionately known as "dungeon rats," ran the Chargers locker room. There, Sid Brooks became caretaker for all who crossed its threshold. The locker room would be damp, dark, and quiet before the coffee and doughnuts arrived, before the arrogant swagger of the players and boom boxes, high-fives, and back-slapping brought the joint to life. Here Sid recreates that environment with tales from within the locker room, the team hotel, and the field of play, featuring stories about Chargers greats like Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, Kellen Winslow, Louie Kelcher, John Jefferson, Rodney Harrison, and Junior Seau. Sid recounts stories unique to a life spent working behind the scenes in the Chargers locker room. With an eye for detail, he recounts tales of spies sent out to capture the opposing team's playbooks; the night the lights went out on Don Schula; wild cab rides with Fouts, Joiner, and Winslow; the zany pre-game rituals and idiosyncrasies of Russ Washington, Wilbur Young, Pat Curran, Woodrow Lowe, and others; rivalries born not on the playing field, but at thedominoes table; and plenty of pranks and good-natured ribbing.Rarely does a book offer more than a passing glance at what makes a football team a family. But Chargers fans can rejoice, because Sid Brooks not only introduces the family, h

Download or read book Junior Seau written by Jim Trotter and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intimate biography of the NFL icon by a veteran sports reporter sheds light on his singular life and the controversy surrounding his tragic death. Tiaina Baul “Junior” Seau is widely considered to be among the best linebackers in NFL history, a ten-time All-Pro, a twelve-time Pro Bowl selection, and a first-ballot entrant into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But in 2012, just two years after retiring from football, Junior Seau committed suicide. Studies of his brain by the National Institutes of Health concluded that Seau suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease often caused by repeated hits to the head. Seau’s suicide spawned numerous investigations into the brains of deceased NFL players, and many were found to have CTE. Drawing on exclusive access to Seau’s family as well as Seau’s never-before-seen diaries and letters, Jim Trotter paints a moving and revealing portrait of a larger-than-life sports star whose achievements on the field were rivaled by his personal demons. “Few people knew Junior Seau like Jim Trotter . . . he took a sports book and artistically crafted it into a lyrical narrative about dreams, love, and, ultimately, heart-wrenching loss.”—Lars Anderson, author of The All Americans
