So Drew Brees won his first Super Bowl. Why do San Diegans insist on revisiting the Brees-Rivers debate from years ago? Craig and Chris talk about Brees, Philip Rivers, and Peyton Manning, and how the legacy of each great QB changes (or doesn’t) based on the Saints’ winning the Super Bowl:
From Miami, former Aztec and New Orleans Saints Defensive Tackle La’Roi Glover talked about this weekends Super Bowl with 619 Sports. La’Roi was just named as member of the NFL’s 2000 All-Decade team, and is currently back in school at San Diego State Univeristy going for his Masters Degree in Sports Business Administration.

Drew Brees hands off to LaDainian Tomlinson when the two played together with the Chargers. Now that he’s with the Saints — and headed to the Super Bowl — do I still need to root for him? If so, does that I mean I have to become a fan of whatever team LT plays for next season?
Which immature Chargers stars should stay, and which should go? Is this the end of the line for L.T. and Merriman in San Diego? And what positions should the Chargers focus on with their early picks in the 2010 draft? Chris and Craig get a leg up on a busy offseason with this 619 Sports Chargers podcast:
In these selected comments from Turner’s press conference, Norv talks about what went wrong on Sunday against the Jets, whether or not his team was “tight”, and how disappointing it was to see the Chargers self-destruct with needless penalties:
LT spoke to the media around his locker today and talked about the differences in styles between the Jets and Chargers, the missed opportunity to win a ring with his “best team”, and what the future might hold:
…the sun (didn’t) come up in San Diego. Still feeling the pain of Sunday’s stunning playoff loss to the Jets, Chargers tackle Marcus McNeill and safety Eric Weddle both spoke to 619Sports.net about the game that got (they gave) away.
Sometimes, there isn’t a big, easy target to blame for what fails your sports team. Sometimes, it’s as simple as them failing. Letdowns happen. Chokes occur. We just had the misfortune this year of following a really good football team that played really poorly when it mattered the most.
