WELCOME TO "THE REAL AFC WEST FANS" ALTERNATIVE BLOG, PLEASE READ FIRST!!!

Welcome! If you are here then you are like me. You love football. You are a die-hard fan of your respective AFC West team. You thoroughly enjoy talking about football with others who share a similar passion.

If you are also like me, then you have grown completely weary from the childish back and forth immature verbal excrement found on the ESPN Blog, NFL.com or Yahoo! Sports boards.

Well, I created this little blog for us. This is where we can all respectfully converse, debate and YES, talk a little smack about the teams we root for and root against.

I believe in democracy. I believe in capitalism. I believe in free speech. But I also believe in being responsible and not acting like a complete dooshbag. You are free to let your voice be heard here. Everyone is welcome to join the debate. All I require is for you to follow a few simple rules:

1. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Be respectful. You can tell somebody they are wrong. But back up your reasons with valid, well-thought out points. Please don't resort to using childish name-calling tactics. It makes you look like a doosh.

2. NO POLITICS UNLESS IT PERTAINS TO THE NFL. Politics are a hotbed for dooshbag activity. There are political boards out there... go to them if you want to discuss your political points of view. Thank you.

3. NO RELIGION UNLESS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SAINTS OR FIGHTING IRISH. I have no problem with people's faith. Personally, I believe in God. But this is an NFL blog... not a God blog. There are plenty of those around for you Bible-thumpers as well. Thank you.

All I ask is that you respect these guidelines. By posting your comments you are agreeing to abide by them. If you cross the line and violate these simple requests you will get banned.

This blog is yours. Not mine. I just set it up and appointed myself as the uber-moderator to police against the dooshbags.

BTW, my real name is Nick (a.k.a. dinoartist). I'm a Charger fan. Been so for all my life. I know my team... I know more about the Chargers than most Charger fans. I'm a realist and I try to keep things in focus. You don't need to tell me the Chargers are a team without a Super Bowl. Don't you think I already know that??? LOL

Have fun guys and GO CHARGERS!!!
