What’s up Cadets? Another week down and another week closer until football season finally starts! Man this offseason is long, and what the fuck are we doing soldiers?!?!? My first question is directed at YOU Coach! With the season getting closer and the boys starting to practice, what 2nd year player are you most excited to watch this season? If you had to predict 1 player who’s going to have a sophomore slump and one player to have an incredible sophomore season, who would they be? And why? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Now having another week to think about it! If you were casting a Chargers player to co-star in a movie with YOU,…….about a rebellious detective police duo who plays by their own set of rules, who do you think it would be? What would be the name of the duo and would you have nicknames for each other such as Butch or Hawk?!?!? LETS FUCKIN HEAR IT SOLDIER!!!!! And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! If you were casting yourself into this said movie, what role would you play and what Chargers coach would play as your side kick?!?!? Think long and hard about someone who could really help the team out in a pinch! Ofcourse Brandon Staley would play the evil mega villian boss named COACH DOOM because he brings total destruction and a complete loss of hope wherever he goes……. man……..FUCK THAT GUY!!!!!!! As always…….. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND….. SUCK MY BUTT!!!!!!!

Listen Up Cadets! It’s been another week of offseason football and it’s been another snooze fest!

My next question is directed at YOU Kev! If you had to create a horror movie starring one Chargers player? Who would it be and what would be the plot? Be creative soldier because you only get ONE SHOT AT THIS!!!! My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! If you had to pick one board game to play with Jim Harbaugh in which your life depended on you winning, what would it be and why? As always…… FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES ATHEER……IM COMING FOR THAT ASS!!!!! And……SUCK…… MY BUTT!!!!!!!

What’s up Soldiers?!?!? This past week has been fuckin amazing! I married my best friend in front of all my friends and family, I’ve locked down flights to all the games I’m attending and we are 1 week closer to football season! WHO’s GOT IT BETTER THAN ME?!?!? My first question is directed at YOU Coach! What do you honestly think of Zion Johnson at Center? Would you rather have him over Andre James? What do you think Nick Hardwick is looking for in attributes of an exceptional Center to be the game 1 starter? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! If you were the WR Coach for the Chargers, what team building exercises would you be doing off the field to build chemistry? And don’t give me this golfing bullshit with paintball fighting on the 18th hole!!! Let’s be creative soldier!!! Need that WR room to be on point this year!!!! My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog. Can you predict our record against the AFC west this yeat? My guess is 6-0 because fuck em all!!! Which AFC west game will be the hardest for us to win?

Pick 2 home games we will absolutely destroy our opponent and 2 teams we might lose to. And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! How many TD passes do you expect Herbert to throw in 2025? My guess is 32 because Hampton will have 12 rushing TD’s too!!!! As always……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND…… SUCK……. MY BUTT!!!!!!!!

Listen Up Soldiers! This is a BIG FUCKIN WEEK!!! I’m talking like MASSIVE, JUMBO, JUMP FOR THE STARS and even SCREAM TO THE MASSES kind of week!!! It’s muthafuckin schedule release week cadets!!!! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOO!!!!!!!! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Out of all the current home opponents for 2025, who is the number one team you want to see in Brazil? I know the Chiefs would be cool, but I would prefer to beat them at SOFI where I can watch the Chiefs fans cry in person!!!!! My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Out of all the away team opponents we have planned for 2025, who is the one team you want to visit the most? Now take that team, channel your muthafuckin brain, and meditate like a monk on crack because ill see you there soldier! We can sit front row right by the Chargers tunnel and fuck shit up!!!!

What’s your predicted season stat line? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Will you commit to buying a Tre Harris jersey?!?!?!

And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog !!! With the schedule release show upon us, what is the one away game you are most looking forward to? It’s Nashville for me cadet! See you at the HO-DOWN!!!! As always……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND……. SUCK……..MY BUTT!!!!!!!!

Listen Up Soldiers! Chef Hortiz does it again!!!! We draft Hampton in round 1, Harris in round 2 and Caldwell in round 3!!!! I know we’re all sad we didn’t get Colston Loveland, but Hampton is going to be the NEXT L-T!!! Mark my words cadets! My first question is directed at YOU Coach!!!

Listen Up Soldiers!!! What a crazy week!!!!! I’ve been in Vegas all weekend for WRESTLEMANIA, John Cena won his 17th world championship and Coach is still at war with Andrew Ramsey! What the fuck as we doing here cadets!!?!?! My first question is directed at YOU Coach. With only 3 days until the draft, what is 1 thing you can do personally to help the team this week? If you were in the war room with Hortiz and Harbaugh on draft day, what advice would you give them? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! I know you are going to be traveling the day of the draft, but what outfit do you plan to wear on draft day? Will you promise to at least wear Chargers attire? Even if it’s just the undies cadet! We need all the right lightning bolts in all the right places!!!! And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! If you could personally pick 2 current Chargers players…… the Duggin brothers would have to play in 2 v 2 basketball, who would it be? And…….it would have to be players you actually think they could beat! As always…… FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND……SUCK…..MY BUTT!!!!

Listen Up Soldiers! Only 10 days left until the NFL Draft and what the fuck are we doing?!? Sitting around scrolling on social media, catching up on the draft research and picking our buttholes!!! C’mon maggots! Let’s make some fuckin moves!!!!!! Has Andrew Ramsey assembled his squad? Is Coach going to fight back instead of acting my peace is a better option? NEWS FLASH twinkle toes!!!! Peace IS NEVER THE BETTER OPTION!!!! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO SOLDIER!!!!! Grab your Viking helmut, assemble your spear and let’s march towards THUNDER ALLEY!!!!! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! What would you give up in draft capital to move up and take Tyler Warren? Do you think it’s worth it? My 2nd question is directed at YOU Kev! If you had to choose between personally firing Tre Pipkins and having Justin Herbert be disappointed in you for the rest of your life, or keeping Tre Pipkins but knowing Justin Herbert now thinks your personally cool……..what would you choose? And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! With the draft approaching, what will be your draft day attire? What did you wear last draft and do you plan to mix it up?!! As always……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES……. AND…… SUCK…….MY BUTT!!!!!

Listen up Soldiers! It’s been another week of boring offseason football……we signed Trey Lance, who the fuck cares, and Andrew attempted to broker a peace deal with Brother Duggin!! Peace is a funny thing soldiers….. it’s overrated. In a world where competition drives innovation and progress, why should we settle for harmony? It’s through conflict that we truly discover our strengths. Wars have built nations and propelled societies forward. Without conflict, we would stagnate, lacking the motivation to strive for greatness. Doesn’t Harbaugh always tell us that “competitors are welcome” ???? Peace may sound noble, but it often leads to complacency. Look around—every time we choose to resolve our issues amicably, we miss out on the thrill of confrontation, the rush of victory, and the lessons learned from struggle. So let’s embrace our differences, let’s celebrate war! After all, isn’t it through our fiercest battles that we find our true selves? COACH…………..THE WAR LIVES ON!!!!! Now onto my questions…..COACH!!! If you had to arm wrestle Trey Lance, Dicker the Kicker or JK Scott, who would it be? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Will you prove that you don’t HATE Loveland by writing a small poem about your deep love and admiration for him? If the broncos draft him, is your hate for him now justified? I still can’t but wonder if this whole hatred for him is some how Brandon Staley’s fault…….AHHHHHH FUCK!!!! My final question is directed at YOU Wooldog! Where will you be watching the NFL Draft?!?!?!? Are you and Kev planning to do a live stream?!?!? As always…… FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND……..SUCK…….MY BUTT!!!!!!!!

AtennnnnnnnnTION!!!! What a crazy week of college basketball, free agency rolls on, and Andrew Ramsey and I have become allies! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Are you ready? Are you ready for the rivalry Sgt Ramsey and I are about to bring on your behind? We’re coming for that ass soldier!!! You have been warned! Now onto the question……..How many wins do you expect from the Chargers this upcoming season? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Since it’s obviously we will never get Colston Loveland because you hate him to much……….who is your favorite WR in the draft? Which one would you prefer to draft over that so called bum Loveland? My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! How many Chargers jerseys do you own and which player will be your next one? Personally, I’m thinking about getting a vintage Dan Fouts! As always……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES THE WAR IS ALIVE COACH!!!!! And……. SUCK……..MY BUTT!!!!!!!

Alright Soldiers! The Draft is getting closer, we are continuing to sign free agents and Kev has a new movie schedule!!!! FUCK!!!!!! Who’s got it better than us?!?!?? My first question is directed at YOU Coach! With the signing of Tyler Conklin, do you think the Chargers are now less likely to draft a TE in the first round? Knowing how Harbaugh loves the trenches, who is the best lineman we could realistically get? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Since I missed it last week, what are your top 5 Sci Fi movies of ALL TIME? Also…….since you hate Colston Loveland so much, what player do you want to see in round 1? And my last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! Tell me about a time that you were REALLY mad at Kev and almost bit his head off! I’m sure you have plenty of funny stories!!! Also…….why does Kev hate Loveland so much……his name literally has the word LOVE in it?!?!? Anyways……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES BOOBIES BOOBIES BOOBIES AND ALWAYS……. SUCK……..MY BUTT!!!!!!!!

Listen Up Soldiers! Finally the Chargers made a move and improved their interior offensive line with Mekhi Benton! Let’s fuckin go cadets!!!!! It’s about God Damn time!!!!! Now all we need is Mark Andrews, Amari Cooper or Stefan Diggs to give Herbert some added weapons!! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Between Andrews, Diggs or Cooper, who do you want and why? If we snag another offensive threat in Free Agency, what are the chances we take a lineman with our first pick in the draft? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! I hope you had all week to think about it because here it is…….What are your top 5 favorite Sci Fi movies of all time? Now pick your favorite Sci Fi movie and cast 3 current Chargers players as characters in the movie! Who would they play? My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! Who is someone you want to see us draft in the SECOND round of the draft? Any names pop out to you? As always…….. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES FUCK YOU EMMANUEL ACHO AND…… SUCK…….MY BUTT!!!!!!!!

Listen up Cadets!!! Today is a tough day, no doubt. We just said goodbye to the last San Diego Charger on the team!!!. A guy who’s bled for this jersey, sacrificed more than most of us will ever know, and left it all on the field every single Sunday. And yes, he’s now moving on, but that doesn’t mean his impact is gone. Love you Joey Bosa and everything you did for the Powder Blue!!!! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton? If we resign JK, do you think we still take an RB in round 1 if available? My next question is directed at YOU Kev!

What’s up Soldiers!?!?!? Had a nice little time this past week! Met Antonio Gates and Rashawn Slater, hung out with the Bolt Fam in Costa Mesa and watched the scouting combine on TV!!! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Why does Kev hate Colston Loveland? I’m concerned it’s personal at this point!! Hope this doesn’t turn into a Tre Pipkins type situation because we all know how those go! Anyways, who stuck out to you at the combine this past weekend? My next question is directed at YOU Kev? Rate your top 5 horror movies in order! Does The Shining make the cut? Blair Witch Projects? Let me know cadet! Also……why do you hate Colston Loveland? My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! What’s one thing you do behind the scenes making the podcast that you are most proud about? What’s one weird thing you do as well? As always…… FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND……. SUCK …….MY BUTT!!!!!!!

What’s up Cadets? This offseason continues to roll on and there appears to be little or no updates to the main roster! NFL Combine is almost here so we have that! I guess we can all take solice in the fact the Saints will have the worst defense of the year! Thank You Brandon Staley, you Jack-wad of a defensive guru! Anyways……. My first question is directed at YOU Coach! Where the hell have you been? That’s it……..short and simple! Hope all is well, and stop leaving the POD coach, we need you! My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Between Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren, who do you want? Personally, I’m going Warren because after watching his film this last weekend, he’s a straight BADASS!!!!! My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! If we somehow land Davante Adams on the roster, would you be willing to buy an Adams jersey in Powder Blue? At that point, how can we turn pop tarts into a positive thing? Oh well, fuck that guy because we probably won’t end up on the squad! Anyways…… FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKEYS AND……. SUCK…….MY BUTT!!!!!!

What’s Up Soldiers! Not much happening this week…..free agency continues, NBA all star week happened, and I listened to an EPIC quest in Dungeons and Dragons on the Pardon My Take podcast! My first question is directed at YOU Coach! What offseason event are you most looking forward to? Draft, Schedule Release or Meeting Antonio Gates in LA at the end of the month? My next question is directed at YOU Kev! Would you consider having a Dungeons and Dragons episode with all 3 of you going on some epic quest to the find the lost 1963 AFL Championship ring won by the Chargers?!?!? Think about it soldiers……seems different and weird at first, but with the right Dungeon Master, Timm Woods, could be entertaining as FUCK!!!! My last question is directed at YOU Wooldog! Is there a chance you will be attending the draft in person this year?!?!!? Green Bay is NOT THAT FAR away!! Think about it soldier!!! And as always……. FUCK THE RAIDERS BURN THE KINGDOM KICK THE DONKIES AND…… SUCK……. MY BUTT!!!!!!!
