		All of this just a year after being their leading candidate for ''Bust of the Year'' when he managed just one sack and 39 tackles, a startling performance given the fact that he had 10.5 sacks in his rookie season, when he was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award winner.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports > Chargers -- Chargers' plight nothing to laugh at . . . they hope
		Sunday's gruesome loss to Denver closed the door on a winning season for the eighth straight year and, while the playoffs probably remain mathematically possible, the odds of a) the Chargers winning their last six games and b) an 8-8 record being good enough to earn a wild-card berth are somewhere around, oh, never-to-1.
		But the NFL will require the Chargers to play those final six games anyway – tickets have been sold, after all – which leads one to wonder just what the 2-8 Chargers will be playing for during the next month and a half.
		More telling: The teams' records starting with the 1997 season, the first for the Chargers after they fired Bobby Ross, the only coach ever to take them to the Super Bowl.
