Matthew Goldberg, Sports Editor — Outlook: The answer to the Oakland Raiders’ woes is not better players, but sports psychology. Sports shrink Richard Crowley believes that Coach Bill Callahan needs to stop berating his players. Um, hello! This is football and screaming and yelling is part of the game.
Matthew Goldberg, Sports Editor — Outlook: Arnold is now officially the Governator. Maybe he should start cleaning up California by kicking the Chargers out of the state. I mean, that way SoCal could just get an expansion team and start from scratch. Even the Texans, who have only been in the league two years, have a better record than the Chargers.
Matthew Goldberg Sports Editor Outlook: Five inches of rain in an hour in LA? A Chargers’ win over the Vikings? A Doug Flutie victory? Something is up in SoCal. It doesn’t rain five inches in a month and a Chargers’ victory over a decent NFL team is just not possible, or so I thought.
Matthew Goldberg, Sports Editor — Outlook: The Raiders are losing! The Raiders are losing! That is a sweet sound at least to this suffering Chargers fan. Hey, if the Raiders keep losing the Chargers might be able to climb out of the AFC West cellar.
Matthew Goldberg, Sports Editor — Outlook: This has been a tragic week in Southern California. Thousands of homes have been charred in the most horrific wildfires in memory. Send some good vibes SoCal’s way because they need all the help they can get. Football seems very unimportant right now.
Matthew Goldberg Sports Editor Outlook: The Chargers won a game! Beating the Browns is not exactly on par with Bobby Thompson’s “shot heard around the world”, but it is still a win. Besides now the Bolts are only one game behind the quickly disintegrating Raiders.
Matthew Goldberg, Sports Editor — Outlook: There is only one winless team left in the NFL: my San Diego Chargers. Apparently the turmoil in camp Marty has rubbed off on all of Southern California. In the past week three different unions went on strike paralyzing grocery stores, courts, and buses.
Matthew Goldberg Sports Editor Outlook: The apocalypse is coming! The apocalypse is coming! Arnold is now governator of California. The Cubs and Red Sox are both just one step from the World Series. Maybe the winless Jets can win a game too. But my Chargers can’t get off the snide because they have a bye.
Matthew Goldberg Sports Editor Outlook: The Chargers epitomize California: screwed up and out of control. While California voters seem determined to recall Gray Davis, the Chargers are stuck with David Boston. After spending 250,000 dollars getting buff, Boston got himself suspended for failing to follow team policies.
Matthew Goldberg Sports Editor Outlook: Once again, it’s time to talk about California and every sport besides football. Even though the Padres are not doing so hot this year, next year they will be better. And they will get to play in a brand new, gorgeous stadium, in the best city in the world.
