The Merriman Saga

The Chargers game this weekend sold out, so we will get to see it real time on television. We will not see Shawne Merriman. It will come as a surprise to no one that he has been struck with an achilles injury which will bar him from the game. It will also, no doubt, serve as justification for substandard performance for the entirety of the 2010 season. He has been "troubled with nagging injuries" ever since the league started testing for steriods.
