NFL: History of the San Diego Chargers
From their early days in the fledgling American Football League to the exciting squads of the 21st century, all the great games, star players and classic moments of one of the National Football League’s most exciting franchises scores on a new double-disc DVD set.
The first disc recaps the dominant teams of the 1960s led by innovative coach Sid Gillman with superstars Lance Alworth, Ron Mix, Paul Lowe and Ernie Ladd. That is followed by the memorable moments of the team from the 1970’s and 1980’s that featured Hall of Famers Dan Fouts and his receivers Charlie Joiner and Kellen Winslow.

Shawne Merriman
Dan Fouts
one of the more exciting franchises but have come up short in the Super Bowl area
Well THIS should be the year we get that Super Bowl win, despite Jamal Williams out for the year.
Rivers is on target with a great number of weapons and we have great kicking.
The kicking game is under appreciated in general but San Diego has a tremendous punter and kicker and Sproles returning kicks.
Like Dan Fouts says in the tape, the Chargers may not have won it all, but they’ve been quite exciting through the years trying.
