Pursuit from Jamul to Chula Vista ends with arrest inside church during funeral service. Smith to go so many times. Please remember that Eli Manning did us wrong. Not showing him you remember and are still mad would also be wrong.
You were happy to let the baby Manning know he was, essentially, a violation. Many San Diegans can get more indignant about the best fish taco or craft beer in town than anything to do with sports.
Although Archie has long been viewed as one of the main instigators in Eli's decision, he recently disputed that notion. In an interview with the Rich Eisen Show , Archie said he had nothing to do with Eli's threat to sit out the season if the Chargers drafted him.
Most people thought I orchestrated it, but I didn't. I don't tell my kids what to do or make their decisions. In Archie's version of the story, Eli came to him for advice, but never asked him directly what he should do.
It's hard. That was the only thing I told Eli when he told me he was going to do that," Archie said. If that's your conviction and what you want to do, then that's fine, and that's what he did. We barely said hello to each other at the league meetings. We wanted to stay above reproach. Now maybe that person he suspected told the person who told me. But the deal was reached so quickly that Smith felt confident the Giants already knew the phone was going to ring. So fast. We were willing to give them our No.
I needed about three seconds to make that decision. San Diego turned those picks into kicker Nate Kaeding , linebacker Shawne Merriman , and offensive tackle Roman Oben via trade , respectively. I gotta tell you there was a lot of highs and lows in the business, but that moment was the greatest high for me as an executive for an organization.
The Chargers had their first of seven consecutive winning seasons in , and it started with the trade. I had nothing to do with it, but I was spoiled for life on the importance of a quarterback So I knew the value of a quarterback, but to me, I never got caught up in the ratings and stats.
You pick a quarterback to win championships. But I never thought about as winning the trade. The only time you would hear about the Chargers back in is when there people talked about how nobody cared about their home games or how awful their ownership group was. Since that draft, the team played in front of half empty crowds, fought with the city of San Diego over a new stadium, then had poor Boltman begging for his beloved Chargers to stay in town.
Fast forward 17 years and the Chargers have moved to a new city where they are the second class citizens in their own stadium, seem to be cursed by the field goal gods as well as the injury gods, and are still owned by the same family.
