Chargers Announce 50th Anniversary Team

With all due respect to Junior Seau, the two greatest Chargers of all time are officially Dan Fouts and LaDainian Tomlinson. The list is fairly present-loaded, with nine current Chargers including the fairly suspect selections of Kris Dielman and Nick Hardwick (I suppose the Chargers are just historically thin at O-Line. Fitting). Noticeably absent from the list is Vincent Jackson who, barring catastrophic injury, will be there soon (V-Jax will now suffer the NFL's first on-field amputation. Sorry dude).

Some other noticeable absences:

Ryan Leaf - Oh, what could have been...

Antonio Cromartie - Chargers fans are apparently not big proponents of one-hit wonders.

Jamal Williams - Best nose tackle in the NFL when healthy doesn't quite do it these days I guess.

Drew Brees - Another what could have been.

The San Diego Chicken - Not a player but just a really cool mascot who ought to be at all sporting events in San Diego.

Norv Turner - .609 WINNING PERCENTAGE DOESN'T LOOK SO HOT NOW DOES IT, KEVIN ACEE OF THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE?!?!

This one makes a great conversation piece so feel free to add suggestions in the comments below.
