Dear Future Charger Bagheads of America:

[TheCharge]

(ahem)

Don't even think about it this year. Prepare to be crushed under the weight of the true and proud. The fans who stick it out through thick and thin. Either join us in unity, or be cast out into the dark blue abyss.

That is all.

You do realize it was more of a joke than actually being embarrassed... right?

[TheCharge]

You do realize it was more of a joke than actually being embarrassed... right?

For Boltcorpse's sake, perhaps. But I will gladly quote the many others who consistently filled this forum with piss and vinegar last year over a truly great team.

The point is, lets unify.:Bolt:

Hopefully we don't start 1-3 again

[BlackwaterNYC]

If the baggers were predominantly fine fans having a little tongue-in-cheek fun over an ugly situation, Mr. Charge (aka, Iron Maiden meets Natrone Means) provided a sensational counterpunch to our satchel-wearing brethren. He scared even the Raiders fans.

Don't take it too seriously, Good Days. Charge is more subtle than you suspect.

[Aloha619]

I posted this on the SOSD Forum the other day and I'll post it here:

One more thing, win or lose this season...no more bagheads, Marty chants, LT/Rivers/Norv doubters, etc.

That was disgusting to see and hear.

The practice of wearing a bag over one's head is forever synonymous with the Saints and has NO business being associated with the Chargers...especially in this day and age.


For those who thought wearing a baghead was funny-
Fans of other teams were laughing AT you, not with you...I'm certain your actions put a BIG smile on the faces of Raiders, Broncos, Chief and Patriots fans.

If you followed the Chargers, then you know how Norv Turner, LT & Company felt about these actions. Good way to support your team. Clap. Clap.

To the Faithful True-Blue Die-Hard Chargers fans you were a spineless disgusting disgrace.

[frozendisc]

yea, let us all be on the exact same page, no debate or difference of opinion.....makes for a great board!

Pats, I'll accept. Raider, Bronco and Chief fans have been short on smiles for some time, Aloha. And I'll concede that Dwayne Bowe is worth a grin or two.

Reconsider.

If Raiders, Broncos & Chief were short on smiles, then there's no doubt that those fans took pleasure in seeing & hearing about spineless Chargers fans melting down so early in the season.....and late in the season regarding LT's heart for the game of football & winning.

No differently than how some Chargers fans comment and take delight about how the Bronco & Chief fans left Invesco & Arrowhead Stadium well before the end of the game, etc.

I fail to find the humor in seeing a Chargers fan displaying a baghead to this day. It's inexcusable.

By all means have a different opinion, and be critical of the team when need be, but don't be whining under your idiotic bag at the first sign of adversity... there's no need for it and the joke makes us all look like a big JOKE

Woah... calm down guys. It wasn't that bad. Look at the end result.

There can be no victory without suffering.

NYC: I rarely see Charge on the forums. Mostly cuz I'm goofing off in the OT.

[kingbolt]

Yeah no sh!t

Nicely done.

Cummon dude. They're Raiders, Chiefs and Broncos fans. Raida fans take their cues from S&M catalogs. Chiefs fans sports, uh, feathers. The Bronco fans wake up in the dead of night, drenched in sweat, whispering elway to themselves. Hell with em.

That said, I like your zeal. Go bolts.

[56lightsout56]

no bags? not even environment friendly ones?

bags are soooo last year anyway.

this year lets be creative and create a new fashion statement.

[BlackwaterNYC]

Woah... calm down guys.

During the Charger dry spell last year, TheCharge led a spectacular thread campaign to quell the baghead insurrection (which, again, was more wink wink than treason). Truly epic stuff, including stampeding sheep, tactical nukes, and several references to the recently demoted Pluto. The thread might have stretched some 200 pages before the Mods finally put it out to pasture. A fine showing by TheCharge. More than earned his keep.

If we start losing early the bagheads will be back in force. Too many of you cristened this team as a perrenial Super Bowl contenders.
When this team fails as it always has in the past, the boo birds will come out.

That's just the way it is. We expect a SB win and anything less is not good enough. Some of you haven't been around long enough or are even old enough to know what's gone on in the past.

Take it one game at a time and hopefully we'll come out of the gates fast and keep on rolling.

I was here for the whole thing. I thought it was funny and kept spirits up.

Of course, there was a backlash against not being true enough to your team
or whatever they could come up with.

I think they were just jealous all the good bag-head pics were taken from Google.

[socalcharge]

Nicely done.

Your comment didn't deserve anything more

People are entitled to freedom of speech? Oh really, you don't say


People dont like to be associated with failure so they hide(under a bag) and point fingers(blame norv, rivers, aj, LT or whoever they can). Its cowardice

You weren't here to all the revelence of the bag heads last year, so I'll let you slide on this one. Relax...we're all Bolt fans here. If you need a hug I'll give you one...*HUG*. Should we all conform to coformity-if so, we should be in North Korea. No more comments from me to you-it's being disruptive on this post-PM me and we'll talk.

[BlackwaterNYC]

All of this is academic anyway. Bolts have some projects ahead of them. Pats have given us a few fits of late. Need to pay them back in kind. Conversely, the colts are not gonna take kindly to our owning their tails. That'll be a scrum. And recall our green friends from the meadowlands been spoiling our beach parties with some regularity in recent years. We owe them and their new qb some gridiron thank yous. And frankly i wanna see weddle lay the lumber on Dwayne Bowe. The rascal was all over us last year.

Gonna be a good year. Time for some football.

Ive been here for years, just not as a member of the boards. I'm relaxed I just dont think your original comment had any point to it. No one said anything about conforming to anything, the people with the bags on their heads looked like morons and most of them were... thats a fact whether it was joke or not.

[ChargerSmokey]

all that it was done as a joke is BS. i was here too and know how it started. the team went 1-3 and people started tgrowing people under the bus, complaining, putting bags on thier heads (to show they were embarrassed of their team, whether a joke or not) and even some gave up on the season altogether. and i bet those same people acted like they supported the team the whole way. through thick and thin. THAT is a joke.

People here also like to be associated with humor. The bagheads were humorous during a time the Bolts weren't getting it done.

Apparently, you have no sense of humor.

Find some humor in it dude. Your all worked up.

No one bailed on this team from a physical point of view. We were all disappointed with the way the team started out. The bag head was a "symbol" of our disappointment of the level of play on the field.

Glad to see you know every single Bag-Head's point of view to the exact feeling to form
your opinions.

Get a life. It was all in humor and I assure you most of the people that threw on the bag
were simply venting frustration rather than "jumping ship" as you want to portray it.

You would make a decent politician the way you twist words.

I got ripped for ripping the bagheads last year. It was freaking wierd.

[OC BOLTED]

I support the bags as long as they are re-usable. However, if you feel the need to use a plastic bag to make your point, by all means, feel free.

kind of like if the weather is fair that day? :layup

[ChargerSmokey]

of course, its just their opinions. but that may be part of the reason many other charger fans think of the people who post on this board to be "bandwagon". i know there are many true fans here. but if the bolt fans on the outside looking in were saying that, i could imagine what rival fans were thinking.

i could understand if we went 1-15 or something, but after 1-3 with a very good team, people here are already symbolically hiding their faces as charger fans. no faith. its kind of sad. just my opinion.

[Bolt Cola]

did any of these "bagheads" actually show up at the Q wearing cet bags? i do not believe so. but I can not account for all 70,000 people at each game. The bags were just a way to show displeasure with a quality team underachieving, and grew into a running joke on the forums like moving every player to safety. who cares what other fans think about us as a fanbase. The players will do our talking for us this year on the field where it really matters! :logoGo Bolts:logo

[Strife9878]

With that said, where's Boltcorpse?

Official BHC Press release:

Boltcorpse shall return on the 31st of this month, one week before the first preseason game. On that glorious day he shall reveal the mojo strategy for the coming season to guarantee us a super bowl win. the Bag did well, but as we all know was hexed by the patriots in the AFC championship game.

To all the bag bashers there are different opinions on this. There are those of us who have discovered its true power. Unfortunate to others it was merely a more lighthearted expression of the doomsday scenarios that were running rampant early in the season. We do however hope all shall see the light this year.

Strife9878, BHC PRO.

[Aloha619]

Not really. Everybody has the freedom of speech, regardless if you like it or not.

A weak, inadequate and typical response by the Vocal Minority.

Unable to explain the comedy in berating the Chargers, they pull the "Freedom of Speech" card.

Freedom of Speech is not the issue here.

Knowing and constructively supporting the Chargers - The teams, the staff and the players - is the issue.


Exercise your Freedom of Speech and explain how an offensive paperbag on a Chargers fan is humorous. Especially given this team...and at this day and age.

Enlighten us as to how booing Philip Rivers, at home, in the 4th game of the season is comical.

Educate us as to how we are to find humor in hearing Charger fans chanting "Marty, Marty, Marty"....or questioning LT's heart.


It's the same crowd that denounces AJ Smith's "ego" and calls for AJ's head on a platter, along with inaccurately questioning AJ's moves on draft day.

Perhaps this is due to an apparent lack of knowledge of the Chargers- The changes, the staff, the players, the goals and history of the team.

How would these Fair-Weather Lemmings have handled the Harland Svare, Ron Waller, Tommy Prothro, Steve Ortmayer years?


Do not confuse the Freedom of Speech with the freedom to be a doltish spineless imbecile. As shown, they are at times one.


To those Faithless Lemmings, you should reconsider...or continue to exercise your Freedom of Speech by nonsensically whining while you proudly display/wear your paperbag and play follow-the-leader.


Know this, it's certain that the majority of Chargers fans, players and fans nationwide are shaking their heads with disgust, laughing AT you...not with you.

It is one thing to say you're a Chargers fan...and another to constructively show faith and support...win or lose...to the end.

[dmercado70]

By all means have a different opinion, and be critical of the team when need be, but don't be whining under your idiotic bag at the first sign of adversity... there's no need for it and the joke makes us all look like a big JOKE

this is well said and needs to be respected !!! :Bolt:

================================================== ====
the earth will quake as the hevens reign above the charger blue skies !!!

[marion butts]

The bagheads are fine to a degree. Such is life when expectations are high. It was the daily negative talk that started getting to me. I was just re reading the colts chargers playoff game thread and I found it awful that people could not just enjoy the game. After every Manning completion it was The D sucks. D Flo is awful. I cant wait for McCree to be gone, what the hell is wrong with LT and Rivers why arent they playing, we cant win with Billy Volek. People should lighten up and enjoy these times. Since Ive been a fan of this team in 1981 we have had 8 playoff appearances. 3 of which have come in the last 4 years. Cherish these times Charger faithful. It wont always be this good.

That being said at 1-3 last year after a 14-2 season the year before I think it is normal for fans to be frustrated with what they are seeing. I know I was. I didnt lose total faith in the team but the whole year became an uphill climb and my confidence in the team was shaken.

We have a great team, let's hope for the best. We need a superbowl NOW!! Support the team. I dont want to see on my TV Jets fans at the Monday Night game. I just got an email from this site saying there are still seats available for the Pats and Colts game. Lets not see Pat and Colt fans at the stadium. We need a real homefield advantage. Let's win this together!! Im from NY so I wont be there but Im flying down to Miami to watch my bolts beat up on Pennington and the fish.

[kingbolt]

A weak, inadequate and typical response by the Vocal Minority.
That's your opinion and I respect that.
Unable to explain the comedy in berating the Chargers, they pull the "Freedom of Speech" card.
I have a right to voice my opinion too.
Freedom of Speech is not the issue here.
Then why respond to my post?
Knowing and constructively supporting the Chargers - The teams, the staff and the players - is the issue.
Unity is the issue-Duh!

Exercise your Freedom of Speech and explain how an offensive paperbag on a Chargers fan is humorous. Especially given this team...and at this day and age.
If you read the hundreds of threads/post last year you would understand it was a "symbol" of frustration begining of the season coming off a 1-3 start.
Enlighten us as to how booing Philip Rivers, at home, in the 4th game of the season is comical.
I never said it was comical, I never booed PR.
Educate us as to how we are to find humor in hearing Charger fans chanting "Marty, Marty, Marty"....or questioning LT's heart.
That's their opinion. I never did that.

It's the same crowd that denounces AJ Smith's "ego" and calls for AJ's head on a platter, along with inaccurately questioning AJ's moves on draft day.
Again, you assume too much.
Perhaps this is due to an apparent lack of knowledge of the Chargers- The changes, the staff, the players, the goals and history of the team.
I've been a Fan since 1979. You assume I have lack of, when you don't know me.
How would these Fair-Weather Lemmings have handled the Harland Svare, Ron Waller, Tommy Prothro, Steve Ortmayer years?
I don't know-ask everybody or better yet create a thread on the subject.

Do not confuse the Freedom of Speech with the freedom to be a doltish spineless imbecile. As shown, they are at times one.
Name calling is very immature; I won't play that game with you.

To those Faithless Lemmings, you should reconsider...or continue to exercise your Freedom of Speech by nonsensically whining while you proudly display/wear your paperbag and play follow-the-leader.
Again you weren't here in the actual begining of the bagheads last year.

Know this, it's certain that the majority of Chargers fans, players and fans nationwide are shaking their heads with disgust, laughing AT you...not with you.
Can you provide evidence? That's their opinion and I respect everyone's opinion. Can you say the same?
It is one thing to say you're a Chargers fan...and another to constructively show faith and support...win or lose...to the end.
I see you take things for face value without adequate research of the "Baghead Movement". I"ve been faithful and my family has shown support for many years. Win, lose, or tie Charger Fan till I die!

In closing, do you want to talk about the Second Amendment now?


My rebuttal is in bold. PM me to futher discuss your emotional stress I have interpreted in your post. Here's a hug from me to you...*HUG*.

[thumper300zx]

Bag Schmag. Do we need to start another "I'm a baby POLL?"

If you think the bags de-karmelized the Bolts, I've got this bridge land water something or other to sell you.

That said, you win some you lose some -- don't have a heart attack if we lose a game or have a bad quarter.

I'll take "Who cares what other fans think?" for $500.

You're making a bigger joke out of it by taking it seriously.

I bagged myself and constructively criticized Norv and Ted from the
safety of being behind my computer screen.

Ted needed to blitz more. Norv needed to do more than run LT up the middle.
constructively, we all knew the problem. We voiced it. While being bagged.

I really don't see where you're coming from. Unless you're a renegade Raider
bandwagoner.

Please. Look up the past threads and tell me it was out of humor. Furthermore, it wasn't "dissappointment of level of play on the field" rather a call for both Norv and Teddy's head. Most were not putting any blame on the players, they were calling for the heads of coaches and management. I even remember people calling for AJ's head. It was rediculous, typical fair weather charger fan mentality.

Enlighten us as to how booing Philip Rivers, at home, in the 4th game of the season is comical.

Educate us as to how we are to find humor in hearing Charger fans chanting "Marty, Marty, Marty"....or questioning LT's heart.


It's the same crowd that denounces AJ Smith's "ego" and calls for AJ's head on a platter, along with inaccurately questioning AJ's moves on draft day.

Perhaps this is due to an apparent lack of knowledge of the Chargers- The changes, the staff, the players, the goals and history of the team.

How would these Fair-Weather Lemmings have handled the Harland Svare, Ron Waller, Tommy Prothro, Steve Ortmayer years?


Do not confuse the Freedom of Speech with the freedom to be a doltish spineless imbecile. As shown, they are at times one.


To those Faithless Lemmings, you should reconsider...or continue to exercise your Freedom of Speech by nonsensically whining while you proudly display/wear your paperbag and play follow-the-leader.


Know this, it's certain that the majority of Chargers fans, players and fans nationwide are shaking their heads with disgust, laughing AT you...not with you.

It is one thing to say you're a Chargers fan...and another to constructively show faith and support...win or lose...to the end.

Excellent post. I nominate for the post of the preseason!

My rebuttal is in bold. PM me to futher discuss your emotional stress I have interpreted in your post. Here's a hug from me to you...*HUG*.

What rebuttal? That was jibberish. Please.

[Good Days Last2]

I've got a bag again due to this thread. Thanks guys.

That post wasn't for you. I never asked for your opinion. So, "Please" yourself.

[kingbolt]

For the fans who take things too seriously. Relax...take a chill pill.

Welcome to San Diego fairweather fanbase. It has always been like this, always will.

I find your view rather entertaining on the subject... coming from someone who had no qualms about being critical of Marty, Foley, Donnie, and various other Charger organization people in the past.

Of course, if you give your opinion it's all kosher, but heaven forbid that anyone else should give theirs... right? :rolleyes:

BTW - you need to be really careful about assigning reasons to what other people do in life - it's obvious you can't think outside your own little sandbox. Neither is it good to try to lump everything/one into the same little pigeon hole...:nono:

What does being critical of Marty, Donnie, and Foley have to do with this thread? Did I say someone can't give an opinion, or wear their bag?

I was born in San Diego, lived there for 25 years. My parents have been there well over 50 years, and my family is season ticket holders since 1979. To say San Diego has fair weather fans is not trying to lump everything in the same pigeon hole, rather stating my observations of OUR fan base over the years.

If I offended you by assigning reasons to what you do (or anyone else does) in life, I am sorry. I didn't realize I was doing that. :Beer:

Looks like Boltcorpse is out of a job again.....

[OKCBOLTSFAN]

You idiots that were offended by the bags make me laugh. Telling people how to be fans, telling them not to have fun. Jesus, how pathetic. It was pretty damned funny. But hey, don't worry, the bags are retired. Looks like this year it's being replaced by Chargers themed coonskin caps. It worked for Davey Crockett at the Alamo, so how can it NOT work against the Patriots????

My family has tickets since '78! And you are absolutely correct - San Diego is full of fairweather fans. (However I think the baghead thing was a pretty funny display of unity. And I understand wearing bags in a sarcastic display of embarrassment may not be best described as 'unity'... but I don't think it was intended to be as insulting as so many on this thread have made it out to be)

I also think it's fair to assume that anyone who is on their favorite sports teams 'Online Forum' is clearly a dedicated fan. And a nerd. (myself included) So I would hope no one here gets too upset at each other.

To help prove our 'fair weather' fan accusation - Go to Stubhub.com. Check out the ticket availability for many other popular NFL team games. Then check out the Chargers. You'll be unpleasantly surprised at just how many ticket holders are willing to part ways with their seats, for a few bucks over face value.

[GoTomlinson]

I've got a bag again due to this thread. Thanks guys.

Boltcorpse never brings the same material every season so I wouldn't expect the bag heads to come out again.

BUT... since it is getting full attention of other fans it is likely here to stay.

How could you do this to poor innocent kids? And you made them smile while they were doing it?!?? You sir are obviously one of those responsible for ruining the moral fabric of our great Charger nation.

Green is the loneliest color.

[leftyinthepen]

c'mon people....just have some fun....the bags may not have started as a joke, but they sure ended up as one....

let's get something else to divide the fanbase up on......something more important....

like dark blue vs. powder blue
or
powder blue vs. power blue
or
white helmets vs. dark helmets
or
bolts stripes on pants vs. straight stripes on pants

i think all would agree that these topics are way more important and pressing than bag or no bag......

[TheCharge]

While I certainly am not blind to the humor in the wearing of the Bag, there is certainly one thing about it that is truly disturbing, whether you are a baghead or not:

CHARGERS lose a game = Bags go on
CHARGERS win a game = Bags come off

...see a pattern here?


You see, its really about commitment. If you're going to wear the bag, then keep it on. Don't continue to support the stereo-type that Charger fans a fair-weathered. It hurts us all.

Thats why I have said Boltcorpse has immunity here. He stuck it out through the whole season as a Baghead.

The rest of you "WannaBags" are just amateurs and imitators who have never overcome any type of adversity in your lives. At least have the fortitude to stuck to your convictions.

As former baghead last year I had a right(America is great!)to show dissappointment to my team which I've supported since 1979. I think some people just don't respect other peoples opinions on this forum sometimes(which in essence-they don't need too,respectfully). I respect their views but no need to bash a fellow Charger fan regardless if their views don't match your own. Virtual bagheads is nothing compared to physically wearing one, but has some adverse effect towards other people. As adversity goes, please don't assume people's life situations. Everyone has gone through adversity sometime in their lives, me especially. I respect your views and understand what your saying. Go Chargers!!!!

[TheCharge]

This true. You have that right. However, it is clear that you did not read this thread entirely. You're assuming that I'm bashing the baggers. If you had read the thread you would know that I'm trying to unify everyone. Perhaps I could have communicated that better.

...which I've supported since 1979.

I fail to see how bashing a your home team/wearing a bag when they lose, and then saying you have been a fan since 79 when they win is 'support'. Am I missing something?

Fair enough. However, if you're going to be a fairweather flip-flopper fan under the banner of saying its your right as an American, then perhaps cheering on another team would suit you. This is Charger Country!

I love the "it's a free country" argument. LOL -- exactly, you are free to be as flaky as you want to be. However, it's a sport and we're just fans -- it's really not that important, so I could care less how flaky of a fan someone wants to be. As for me and my house, GO BOLTS!

I agree unity is a good thing.

To me, it was a symbol of frustration. So, can't I vent my frustration and show support? I support the Chargers win , lose, tie and even if they relocate.

I'm dead bolt, and I approve this message.

The Charge - 51
Bagheads - 0

The Bag-head cult is currently looking for new amateurs and imitators to join our enthusiastic and growing ranks. Individuals having never faced adversity are especially encouraged to apply. Convictions optional.

"I agree unity is a good thing."

Think harmony -- not unity. Schotty and Smith had neither (arguably more unity than harmony). You can be happy with people you generally disagree with and yet be miserable with people you generally agree with.

Although somethings can never be accomplished without unity, it's a utopian concept to be flawlessly unified. Agree to disagree. Or you could just do what Steve Smith or the Brewers do to "solve" their differences. LOL.

As for the "flip-flops" -- just fans emotionally altered by events -- some fans are play to play. Some are quarter to quarter. Some game to game. Some season to season. Some just enjoy the game no matter what. No matter. To each their own.

[leftyinthepen]

why don't we all wear bags at home pre-season games....

since i think we are all in agreement that for the NFL to charge regular season prices for pre-season games sucks......

on the bag put "pre-season sucker-I paid full price for this ticket" on it, and wear it in the second half.......

[boltcorpse]

Hell yes!

With that said, where's Boltcorpse?

I'm right here, biznitch.
