Steve, your simply amazing m'dear man :P&nbsp; The great off season migration has begun. Joe Horn was dumped as well, and one of the Chargers secondary coaches now works for the Cowboys.

I just checked espn.com and all they had was that he was released. I wouldn't mind him going on the Raiders. His talent wouldn't be wasted (but that did come from an obvious Raider hater). Their defense was the shining part of their game last season. I hear they're looking at Jeff Garcia as well. The niners can't afford Porter. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62783 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62783 I haven't either dusty.

Now now Pete..don't make me cry this early in the day..did you have to bring that up?

What really amazed me was the firing of Marty. He bugged me, but he's been improving that team every year. Just remember, it's much less painful to go out in the first round than to lose the super bowl. Trust me on this one. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62827 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62827 What really amazed me was the firing of Marty.

Um Pete..I have been through both with the Chargers. The worst beating ever handed down in a SB was the Chargers and SF I think..<br /> <br /> Marty's coaches were leaving..and with that the GM said AMF to Marty.. They have never gotten along..and the hiring of the coaches was going to cause a riff between them again. The owner was tired of interceding between the two, and obviously he was going to back his GM over the coach. Its not unheard of for coaches to get canned these days with winning records..dumb as it is. Marty hit the nail on the head when he said he left the team far better than he found it. <br /> http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62829 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/insidesports/6223/#c_62829 Um Pete..I have been through both with the Chargers.

Not that I'm a huge fan of his either, but hey, they lost 3 games by a total of 9 points with a young QB.
