With Nick Hardwick out for nearly the entire season, C Scott Mruczkowski has become a huge factor in the success of the Chargers’ offensive line. The man they call Mooch tells 619Sports.net that he indeed has improved as the season has gone along…but that the running game can still be better.
Damn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.
The San Diego State Aztecs lost Saturday afternoon to the No. 1 team in the country. You think I care what the polls say? You think it bothers me that every so-called expert in the nation would disagree with me?

Just last season, Alabama from the SEC spent nearly the entire season at No. 1, lost a hard-fought conference title game to Florida, and then was sent to the Sugar Bowl to play a Utah team that wasn’t supposed to be able share the same field with the Crimson Tide.

ShareYeah, yeah…I know. The headline must be a misprint. But, honestly, it seems to best describe what we all saw Saturday night in Week 3 of the NFL’s Preseason — otherwise known as easily the biggest sham perpetrated on the American sporting public.
Week 3 is the one preseason game where we really get an idea [...]
