Love this episode! Very well said Dave .. towards the end. It’s about time we put John on BLAST!!! They owe it to the fans to put a quality team and coach on the field!!!
As a Chiefs fan I always wonder why are so many Chargers players injured at the end of the year? It seems like at the end of each year recently the Chargers are so banged up they can barely put a team on the field.
The fact that you guys are even deliberating about whether you'd prefer Tepper or Spanos says it all, tbh. I cant believe im saying this, but i wish the Hilton family still owned our team.
A Blessing in disguise the way the season ended It was difficult to endure as a fan with the 2023 season end record But looking forward now to this 2024 new year & 2024 Draft with the Top 5 Draft Pick & Top Picks every round to improve the team with Herbert & New Head Coach & GM.
Id rather lose Bosa than Mack. I hope Mack pursues a coaching career. He's a great mentor and the youngbloods respect him and the knowledge he has to pass on.
Great show guys and it was so awesome listening to you guys all year⚡️⚡️⚡️ for the hotdog challenge I would do the first weekend. There’s no need for us to have to wait to watch one of you guys suffer more than we have to 😂
Great show as always! Thanks for getting us all through this torturous season 😂 At least now we can just look forward to a new regime and a good spot in the draft. Why dont you both do it and then reset and do the playoffs for a different forfeit 😂
The 2023 season will be remembered as the season we have been liberated from Staley and his pre-game warm ups, that has been burned in my mind. It is also the season that will be remembered as the season we hired Harbaugh and drafted the next great tight end.
Props to the team, coaches, and ownership .... for a GREAT loss. Harbaugh won't jump to a pro team ....... that's worse than his college team, will he?
Mario is right. This was just another Charger year. It's been like that since Marty. The bolts have always had an elite QB and a set of receivers that includes Gates. The head coaches have been forgettable.
Hi guys. Thank for your excellent work this season. Lots of good research, facts and humor. Don't break up this pod team. Yes, I'm for more pods whenever. Now we work on the draft.
Well thanks guys for some honest talk through this awful season. That's all I gotta say about this bolt season, except that it was a few good moments with mack
⚡⚡If possible starting next year it be dope if y'all do a pre games and post game breakdown. With all due respect to the other UA-cam channels yalls hit different ⚡⚡#Boltup #Chargersfan4life⚡
Related to Charger head coach , Harbaugh Maybe more likely a charger. LAS VEGAS -- Following the Las Vegas Raiders' season-ending 27-14 defeat of the Denver Broncos on Sunday, owner Mark Davis told ESPN he is "really excited" about the job Antonio Pierce did in leading the team to a 5-4 finish after he took over as interim head coach
Watch out for the Eagles to steal that Center in the 1st round , Johnson -something - 3words last name. BTW itsnt it weird to know Dave used to Wipe Josh ass when he's a baby 😂😂😂😂
Solid defensive front? Eagles? Jalen Carter, I will aire on the side of he will be great, 4 or 5 year probowler an all pro or 2 minimum. If I give you that, Davis is a 1 tech just looks like a trash can of dirt with full starter snaps this year. Sweat ain't had a sack in like 8 weeks. He just alright. Cox? Aarp pass rusher is set to retire. How solid is that? Linebacker in disserray. Secondary? Answers there? Slay is still a good corner but best years behind him and there's 10 corners you would want ahead of that guy. And they just paid bradberry. Then old man byard wont be back, the rookie tore his acl tonight and Blankenship. And he's okay next to a great player but if he's next to mid or less, that's not good at all. But hey, I hope they take your approach, don't worrrrry, it's ALL good. Rest on your laurels.
The Chargers are dead...Long Live the Chargers!! Eat the hot dogs next week so it's still fresh and we'll nickname them chestnuts. At 68yo I've been on this Bolt roller coaster since the early 70's. 50 years with no Championship trophy -- just one SB appearance when we were 17 point dogs and couldn:t even cover the spread!! I'll be all in with our new coach for the length of his contract (please Lord bring us Harbaugh). If no trophy by then, I'm done. Hang an impressive title on the Spanos kid and lock him in a big office filled with multi-colored paper and lots of crayons.
I dont think we CAN'T put the blame on players this year. To some extent i respect it, but you cant say that some of these players have been putting in all the effort week after week. Sure, Staley lost the locker room, but i never heard of player only team meetings occurring like the Bills had. They gave up on their coach, so they gave up on their fans. I dont give a pass for that.
STAT OF the DAY . The Chargers TIED the NFL record with there 7th lost game of the year with 3 POINTS or LESS ! Love those oh, so ,close lost games ? Are we NOT glad Staley wouldn't kick a FG, when , he HAD the chance to do so ?....LOL PS , lets go sign King Henry to run for us in a season OR 2 , to play for us at RB , he can NOT be any worst then Eck " fumble me " the ball was this year ?
What the f*** this was not one of the worst games of the season and yes we should have fired stately regardless I can't believe there are people in the comment section that think you guys have intelligent commentary it's mind-melting
I love how you guys are not part of the Herbert crowd you are so dumb all three of you think that Herbert should get traded this podcast is a dumpster fire
Sorry Dave but you guys are late to the party. Lots of people knew John Spanos was behind everything and I already had heard other pods talk about way before you guys. The difference is that they are now in LA with a way larger market than San Diego. I think it was the perfect Storm. In LA with modern social media, 2 failed coaches with Herbert as your QB.
If we manage to hire Harbaugh as the head coach, the 2023 Los Angeles Chargers, a "homeless" team in the City of Angeles, will be remembered as the greatest dumpster fire in Skid Row history.
Forget Staley man he was the worst thing that happened to the Chargers and good riddance he needed to go ASAP! he’s been gone already it’s 2024 leave Staley in the past. And the Raiders r dumb they r winning meaningless game’s vs team’s not really even playing their starters lol 😂 And now Raiders out of the TOP 10 Draft lol 😂
I got tired of hearing about Jones incentive bonus for sacking Stick. It's just irritating and made for awful commentary. I know the game was boring, but come on. Dicker was awesome, Mack was King, and honestly, Stick wasn't that bad.
Stick is no Jake Browning who was undrafted and finally got off 3 years of taxi squads and did very well in relief finishing the season. Half the teams in the league would take Browning for a stsrter
Ok, in this game his scrambles sure helped but after all he can't get a cross field sideline pass, as did you notice how long it took for those 35 yard passes going 10 yards downfield took? For chargers without an O line upgrade, better expect next year that we get another Justin injury for a few games.@@Baron12_82
They’re more beatable now than in years past. Kelce is a year or two from retirement and they’ll need to put weapons around Mahomes just like the Chargers need to do with Herbert. The Chiefs big advantage right now is their defense. But nobody thinks this Chiefs team is a juggernaut.
Yeah, That sounds like something the spanos would do. Another 3 or 4 wasted seasons. Maybe by then Herbert will figure out the owners and everyone involved have no idea what it takes to win.
@richbutler7828 well I don't know if you're knocking on Antonio Pierce? But I do think he's a good head coaching candidate. He's been working towards it. If you had to choose between Antonio Pierce or Eric Bieniemy who would you choose? The Raiders beat the Broncos who are coached by Sean Payton.
The USC Alumni has enough power in LA to force Spanos to draft Caleb. If you live in LA or know how USC alumni does business, I think it could happen...
Pierce would be a good coach for the Chargers he from Compton and he is a hell of a coach. The Raiders will outbid the Chargers for Harbaugh. If they do that, take Pierce.. He is the same coach as Dan Campbell, abd he proved it.. It would be the classic hoodwink.
I don't think we need another coach who can coach defense. I liked him as a linebacker, but. to expect him to know how to rebuild an offense is stretching it, he'd be a tool to john spanos
Love this episode! Very well said Dave .. towards the end. It’s about time we put John on BLAST!!! They owe it to the fans to put a quality team and coach on the field!!!
Not a chargers fan but enjoy your guys podcast.
Thank you 💪🏼
Hot dogs after wildcard weekend! 6 games to pick! Love the show guys! #BOLTUP
As a Chiefs fan I always wonder why are so many Chargers players injured at the end of the year? It seems like at the end of each year recently the Chargers are so banged up they can barely put a team on the field.
Man, it’s frustrating.
I know I wanted Bowers. But now I kind want one of those 2 Tackles. I wish we could trade down and still get one of them.
Both do the hot dog challenge. ASAP
The fact that you guys are even deliberating about whether you'd prefer Tepper or Spanos says it all, tbh. I cant believe im saying this, but i wish the Hilton family still owned our team.
Absolutely not lol. Worst hotel chain in America.
Hotdog penalty’ decided by playoff pics! Gotta look forward…
Best part of the season was easily this pod lol
A Blessing in disguise the way the season ended
It was difficult to endure as a fan with the 2023 season end record
But looking forward now to this 2024 new year & 2024 Draft
with the Top 5 Draft Pick
& Top Picks every round to improve the team with Herbert
& New Head Coach & GM.
Id rather lose Bosa than Mack. I hope Mack pursues a coaching career. He's a great mentor and the youngbloods respect him and the knowledge he has to pass on.

Great show as always! Thanks for getting us all through this torturous season 😂 At least now we can just look forward to a new regime and a good spot in the draft. Why dont you both do it and then reset and do the playoffs for a different forfeit 😂
1st week of the play Off games ! Lets see who holds up better , Moe or Larry ....LOL
Haha I like first week too
The 2023 season will be remembered as the season we have been liberated from Staley and his pre-game warm ups, that has been burned in my mind. It is also the season that will be remembered as the season we hired Harbaugh and drafted the next great tight end.
This was also the season they finally fired one of the worst GM’s over the last decade!
Props to the team, coaches, and ownership .... for a GREAT loss.
Harbaugh won't jump to a pro team ....... that's worse than his college team, will he?
Hello Larry , Curly & Moe ! lets go , NO # 5 draft spot in 2024 season & so close to NO # 4 , DANG !!!!!
I was at the game, it was the Chargers starters against the Chiefs backups. I happy the season is over.
Mario is right. This was just another Charger year. It's been like that since Marty. The bolts have always had an elite QB and a set of receivers that includes Gates. The head coaches have been forgettable.
He was Herbert OC in his best year. Goes to Philly and gets them to a Super Bowl. Big mistake letting him go.
hot dogs after wild card weekend! Although I'm not sure why Josh didn't volunteer to eat the hotdogs himself. 6 dogs and 2 burgers!!
Hi guys. Thank for your excellent work this season. Lots of good research, facts and humor. Don't break up this pod team.
Yes, I'm for more pods whenever. Now we work on the draft.
Thanks Thomas ⚡️
Hotdog challenge after the first week of the playoffs. Get it over with haha
Well thanks guys for some honest talk through this awful season. That's all I gotta say about this bolt season, except that it was a few good moments with mack
That was not honest talk that ridiculous moronic opening statement by Dave is typical of this show every time
My only first and only reply to you is if you want to troll its you who get judged and laughed at timmy.@@Timmeh_The_tyrant
Great opening statement by Dave . I've enjoyed every show for the Honesty and insights.

Hot dog challenge.. Have it decided after first round of playoffs
I believed Spanos fired Coyell and Gilbriet in mid season
Do the whole playoffs. Increases the suspense 🤣
Vrabel could be a great coach for the bolts
Khalil Mack showed us how overpaid Joey Bosa has ALWAYS been.
Top 5 draft pick, MHJ or Bowers make it to us?
I’d be surprised if the Chargers land MHJ but Bowers will be there at 5.
@@joshpalet can you imagine them total opposite and drafting someone unknown? 🤣
johnny spanos will pick who he thinks is the best. just like the QJ pick last year. When TT wanted Flowers.
@@That684Uce Lol unfortunately I can see them drafting someone unexpected
@@richbutler7828 I hope he's nowhere close to the decision.
Raiders have a better cultural and a solid coach. Not sure why we are happy the Raiders are looking Stronger
Are we getting “Haircut” Herbert back AKA Rookie Herbert…
I been saying this I miss rookie Herbert dude was a dawg and he regressed every year
Watch out for the Eagles to steal that Center in the 1st round , Johnson -something - 3words last name.
BTW itsnt it weird to know Dave used to Wipe Josh ass when he's a baby 😂😂😂😂
I gotta know what Alex Spanos did to Dave to piss him off. Back in the day.
This all feels a season late.
Does agreeing to a contract with harbaugh Tuesday circumvent the Rooney rule? Like, chargers still have to do a bunch of interviews and stuff right?
Solid defensive front? Eagles? Jalen Carter, I will aire on the side of he will be great, 4 or 5 year probowler an all pro or 2 minimum.

This is the first offseason i am excited about in a long while, providing we get Harbaugh.
Welp… i haven’t been following for long enough… all this time I’ve been thinking Dave and Josh are brothers…. THATS HIS DAD?!?!?
Wait Fired GM and HC, released Jackson, QJ bust, Herbert regress,Bosa and Eckler the Chargers were the most disappointing in the NFL team in NFL
You guys are discounting Tuli and Ficken as positives for the season?
Not at all. They did their jobs too just talking about guys that were pro bowl level in Allen, Mack and Dicker.
The Winner should be declared on wild card weekend the only week has six games please 🙏 thanks love ❤️ bolt city
Could YOU guys , get , " The DIRECTOR " on your show , soon ?
The Chargers are dead...Long Live the Chargers!!
Eat the hot dogs next week so it's still fresh and we'll nickname them chestnuts.
At 68yo I've been on this Bolt roller coaster since the early 70's. 50 years with no Championship trophy -- just one SB appearance when we were 17 point dogs and couldn:t even cover the spread!!
I'll be all in with our new coach for the length of his contract (please Lord bring us Harbaugh). If no trophy by then, I'm done.
Hang an impressive title on the Spanos kid and lock him in a big office filled with multi-colored paper and lots of crayons.
Eat hotdogs next week
Any time you let a player dictate roster to the HC and coach let him. He'll probably lost all respect from all players.
I dont think we CAN'T put the blame on players this year. To some extent i respect it, but you cant say that some of these players have been putting in all the effort week after week. Sure, Staley lost the locker room, but i never heard of player only team meetings occurring like the Bills had. They gave up on their coach, so they gave up on their fans. I dont give a pass for that.
We definitely should be putting blame on the players. Besides Mack, Tuli, Keenan and Dicker almost everyone else underperformed.
Couldn't agree more.
Do a live NFL Draft show!!!⚡⚡
Shouldn’t Mario be eating hot dogs every 5 minutes right now!?!?
Give it to Mario cuz his stomach has less time on this earth
Let's go hotdog challenge after first round of the playoffs. At any rate, it's been a pleasure coping with y'all this season.
STAT OF the DAY . The Chargers TIED the NFL record with there 7th lost game of the year with 3 POINTS or LESS ! Love those oh, so ,close lost games ?

Charger fans have No room talking about other teams owners New or Old. after watching decades of terrible decisions from the spanos LOL
KC isnt that good.... 😂😂😂
They’re more beatable now than in years past. Kelce is a year or two from retirement and they’ll need to put weapons around Mahomes just like the Chargers need to do with Herbert. The Chiefs big advantage right now is their defense. But nobody thinks this Chiefs team is a juggernaut.
What about this? If the Raiders do hire Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers hire Antonio Pierce.
Yeah, That sounds like something the spanos would do. Another 3 or 4 wasted seasons. Maybe by then Herbert will figure out the owners and everyone involved have no idea what it takes to win.
