Hey Charger Chat, Matt "Money" Smith from Chargers weekly said he wasn't crazy about the alternate navy uniforms because we have a losing record with them. But maybe we shouldn't use our alternate uniforms for the best teams in the league, like wearing them against the Ravens last year. Let's strap those bad boys on when we play the Titans or the Giants. But I have a feeling they're going to roll them out against the Eagles and fans will say they're cursed. What say you? Love, Thunderlips

Hi Charger Chat, Chargers rushing totals in the games they lost last year: Steelers – 61 Chiefs – 55 Cardinals – 59 Ravens – 84 Chiefs – 94 Bucs – 32!!!!!!!! Texans - 50 NFL Teams averaged 113 rushing yards per game. There's no trick to it, it's just a simple trick. Rush for over 100 yards (just under league average) and we win the game. Rush for under 100 and we probably lose. Do you think this is why Harbaugh and Hortiz went with a running back in the first round? Love, Thunderlips

When Joe Hortiz called Tre Harris for the draft, he told Tre he was impressed that he ran the 40 even though he was recovering from a repaired sports hernia. It showed he was a competitor. I couldn't agree more. It annoys me when healthy skill position players don't run the 40. To me, they come across as wimps. I'd use the P-word but I know one of your kids might be listening. If you're an actual competitor, you would want to run the 40. But if you're afraid to run the 40 because you might not be the fastest, or your agent told you not to because your draft stock might fall, then you don't have the balls to be among the best. Malik Neighbors ran a 40 and Marvin Harrison Jr. didn't. To me that showed itself in the season. One turned out to be a true competitor and the other struggled his first year. Ashton Jeanty didn't run a 40 but Omarian Hampton did. Omarian could have skipped the 40 because he was clearly established as the 2nd best running back but he still chose to run it. So if Omarian turns out to be a better running back, I for one am going to look back on the 40 and say one was man enough to run it and the other wimped out. What do you think? Is it a red flag when a healthy skill position player doesn't run a 40 yard dash? Or am I making too much out of it? Bolt up, Thunderlips

(Macho Man Randy Savage Voice) Is your fandom feelin' weak, flaccid, just can't get it up? Then you gotta Snap into a Slim Jim Harbaugh! Just like that, you'll be locked, cocked and ready to rock! Oh yeahhhhh! And get your jaw muscles ready cause Slim Jim Harbaughs are tougher than a two dollar steak! Are you worried your team won't make the playoffs? Snap into a Slim Jim Harbaugh and your team is going to the Super Bowl, not once, not twice, but thrice! Worried your team has no run game? Snap into a Slim Jim Harbaugh and even your fullback is rushing for a thousand yards! Worried your team will play worse because of a snow storm? Snap into a Slim Jim Harbaugh and say fuck it, we are the storm! Need a little excitment, Snap into a Slim Jim Harbaugh! Question: Jim brought in Ric Flair to hype up his previous teams. If you had your choice, which celebrity would you like him to bring in to hype up the Chargers team? Sincerely, Thunderlips

I played football at USD two years before Harbaugh became the coach. I wouldn't have called us a powerhouse program by any stretch of the imagination. So I was stunned when I found out that a coach was able to turn the USD football team into champions. It was pretty miraculous. Speaking of miracles, can Harbaugh fix QJ?

(Wool Dog, I'd love an Al Pacino voice if possible.) We all know why this team has been struggling. Oh yea. The bottom dwelling defense, the spotty offense, the abysmal game planning: it all stems back to...one thing. One problem that is dragging this entire team down. And we must get rid of it, if our team is to survive. So...Justin Herbert, SHAVE THAT WISPY BEARD OFF YOUR FUCKING FACE, SO WE CAN GET BACK TO WINNING SOME GOD DAMN GAMES! Thank you. Who-ha.

It seems like the Chiefs don't want to pay Chris Jones what he's worth. This is on top of them underpaying Mahomes and Kelce. Can we start calling the Chiefs what they are: a cheapstake franchise? FTC KLUB

Dear Charger Chat, I have three gifts: Justin Herbert's hair brush Philip River's bolo tie Daiyan Henley's leather suit he wore on draft day Out of the three of you, who would take which gift? KLUB

(Wool Dog, may I please get your German voice) Guten Tag, I'm a mad German Scientist who has built the world's greatest cloning machine. Being an uber Chargers fan I will let you clone 1 Chargers player from the current roster. Who will you clone? Perhaps you clone Rashawn Slater so you can have him play right tackle and left tacke at the same time. Or maybe you clone Joey Bosa so he could rush from both edges. Or perhaps you clone Justin Herbert so you have the ultimate QB insurance. I'll be over here eating a schnitzel while you decide. Choose wisely. Auf Wiedesen

(Wooldog, if you would be so kind as to read this in your Arnold voice) What is with the other Chargers podcasters and their puny 11-6 regular season predictions? Can you tell these girly men that we're going 17-0. Some call us crazy to predict an undefeated season. They say our brain must have a tumor. It's not a tumor. Our quarterback is stronger than the T-1000 and his throws are as sexy as Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies. And to anybody afraid of the Chiefs: If it bleeds, we can kill it. Now let's kick some ice! K Luv U Bye p.s. Besides the Terminators, what is your favorite Arnold movie?
