“Great start” to Turner era in SD

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith said today that his relationship with new head coach Norv Turner is “off to a great start.” Turner was introduced on Monday as the Chargers new coach and was quickly initiated by Smith. “We got into an argument for about the first 30 minutes,” Smith said. “Then it was really just an entire day of awkward silences and avoiding each other.” For his part, Turner seemed slightly confused by his new general manager’s general behavior, and rather annoyed that “he kept calling me Marty.” Chargers owner Alex Spanos told SSNN that although he is concerned with the in-house fighting, he needs Turner to win 13 or 14 games before he would consider making a coaching change. “Whatever, we’re used to it by now,” said a Charger player who identified himself only as Shawne M. “You look pretty ripped… know where I can get some steroids?” [Ed. Note: Yes, we are pretty ripped; no, we do not know where to get steroids. Sorry.]

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
