As a 43 year old Pats fan who's 1st playoff memory was at 10, hearing my dad ***** and moan about The Pats being robbed in Oakland with the Sugar Bear Hamilton phantom roughing the passer call and the pass interference non-call when Russ Francis got decked before the ball got there...
The 2006 season San Diego playoff victory stands as the biggest IN YOUR FACE ever. I was hoarse for 3 days afterwards from screaming in ecstasy after seeing Nate Kaeting's kick fall short.
Before the playoffs began, the mayor of San Diego told the city The Super Bowl victory parade will be the tuesday afterwards after the 14-2 juggernaut Chargers trampled everyone in their path. WRONG MOVE. Counting your chickens before they hatched.
The game began and Phil Simms, on NBC, observed,"The Chargers are just bigger, faster, and stronger than The Patriots." They were. He was spot on. This was The Chargers at their absolute peak. Merriman had the lights out dance and LT had a season for the ages. Hell, did you notice that the NFL films crew was on The Chargers sideline for the whole game?
Then it all went to ****.
The Gaffney t.d. right before the half slapped the San Diego fans with a rude awakening that they were playing Tom Effing Brady.
In the second half , the muffed punt catch and unnecessary roughness gave the Pats the ball back TWICE.
Then it happened...
The greatest play in many Pats fans lives.
Yeah man, ima talkin' 'bout the TROY BROWN STRIP.
And the classic moments just keep coming. Next up, the Caldwell t.d. as the Charger corner *****es that he pushed off, desperately trying the take the blame off himself for getting horribly burnt in a CRUCIAL moment.
Next up? The 2 point conversion fake snap to Brady and he pirouettes in the air like a freaking ballerina. Where's the ball??!! Oh damn, look at that, Faulk's got it. Look how low he is in traffic. It's in good hands, man. Watch him take that loaf of bread to the bank.
And minutes later, I'm freaking the hell out watching freaking Reche Caldwell tippy toe down the sideline. Who here wasn't jumping up and down, yelling,"GO! GO! GO! GO!" Holy crap! He took them well into field goal range. Oh, HELL YEAH. Yeah, as the whole stadium shat in their pants. Well, too bad, losers! Pats Up by 3.
Then Nate Kaeting's miss from 54 years out as darkness fell upon the juggernaut which was the 2006 Chargers.
Oh, but the best wasn't over yet. The Pats jumped up and down on the San Diego home field with seconds still on the clock. Ellis Hobbs flung his helmet about 15 yards into the air and it thudded on the turf.
After time expired, the teams were mulling around and 3 Patriots led by Rodney Harrison freaking MUGGED LT and PUSHED HIM, BOUNCING AND RICOCHETING BETWEEN THE TREE OF THEM LIKE AN EFFING PINBALL!!!! Yeah, all as CBS's cameras rolled and the final score graphic was posted right before they went off the air.
And the footage shown later of The Pats stomping on the bolt pained at midfield. Grind it to a pulp in those heels, guys. Oh BURN!!
"Who's your daddy now, beatch?" "When's that Charger Super Bowl victory parade gonna be again? Huh?"
That ended an era in San Diego. Marty was fired and it was the final time they wore the dark blue uniforms and helmets.
I was hoarse for days. I was buzzing off it all week. There's Kansas City Chiefs fans in my building here in Brooklyn and I flipped them off sooo hard the next time I saw them on that Monday.
On You Tube, there's crowd videos of when the Kaeting kick falls short and the Pats prematurely celebrate, violating the home field. That's what you get for dissing The Pats and writing them off before the game. And on You Tube, there's a video of Roosevelt Colvin and Wilfork in the tunnel, right after the game and Colvin is a freaking beast, just yelling "The lights are out! It's a power outage!" and it echoes all throughout the tunnel.
Man, what a rush. Uhhhhh.
