On this show, Loren and Ray review the first quarter of and have a lot of fun discussing the ongoing failure of Spanos and his Chargers. Thu 05 Oct 2017 21:19 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20170824.mp3 The Carson Chargers out the gates are failing in LA and we are laughing all the way. In this special episode, Ray and Loren recap LT's HOF ceremony, and lash out at the NFL's worst organization. Warning, this is a NSFLACF (not safe for LA Chargers fans) episode. Thu 24 Aug 2017 21:44 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20170803.mp3 We're not officially back, but this is our tribute to San Diego Chargers great and Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson. Plus our comments on a few things. Thu 03 Aug 2017 21:33 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20170119.mp3 Join Ray and Loren as we shut the door on the Bolttalk Podcast after 11 years of shows; but we will do it with one hell of a good time. Bring some booze, join us live to talk about your favorite Charger moments, favorite podcast moments, favorite memories of the forum and celebrate the team that was a part of your identity for decades. To those who will stay Charger fans, we wish you the best. To those who will follow other teams, good luck. We had our anger last week, now we celebrate and remember for the last time. Thu 19 Jan 2017 23:30 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20170112.mp3 Dean Spanos and the Chargers betray San Diego and it's fans to bolt for LA. We discuss how we got here and what happens next for fans and the Chargers. Next weeks show will be the BoltTalk finale. Thu 12 Jan 2017 22:00 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20170105.mp3 The Chargers lose a meaningless game in true inept 2016 Chargers fashion. They then fire their head coach. And there are reports of a real proposal between city/county, Chargers and the NFL to keep the team in San Diego. Loren and Ray will discuss all this and more in what was a very busy end of 2016 along with our top candidates for the head coaching job, who should be kept among coordinators, initial reaction to the current proposal and a first take on who should stay/go among players. Thu 05 Jan 2017 21:30 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161229.mp3 What happens when there's no lower left to go? The Chargers break out the big fail and dig even further. The Chargers broke the Browns "un-perfect" season losing to them 20-17 in a game riddled with mistakes, failures, poor officiating and a team/coach that have completely given up. Loren and Ray will discuss the fail of this team, does this finally spell the end of McCoy with the Chargers, the flurry of injured players (many suffering from "do not care-itis"), look ahead to who should/stay go on the team and discuss what could be the last home game of the San Diego Chargers against the Chiefs on New Year's day. Thu 22 Dec 2016 21:23 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161222.mp3 There's bottom, there's rock bottom, there's six feet under rock bottom and then there is the San Diego Chargers. In what was a repeat of the last few weeks the Chargers lost a close game (to the Raiders 19-16) in which numerous leaks occurred before/during/after the game suggesting the Chargers are gone after the first of the year. But between the Raiders taking over the Q and other on/off the field BS, it's a sad sad day for San Diego Charger fans. Ray and Loren will go over the game, the madness and what is going on with the team, the community and the organization. We'll also get you ready for the ultimate coal in your stocking game as the Chargers travel to Ohio to face the winless Cleveland Browns. Plus Derek Togerson drops by to chat with us. Thu 22 Dec 2016 19:37 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161208.mp3 Tis the season for some folly, fa la la la lah, la la la laaah. The Chargers lost to the Tampa Bay Bucs 28-21 in a game filled with errors in a stadium filled with Bucs fans. With that the Chargers fall to 5-7 and (while not mathematically) have all but been eliminated from the playoff picture. Ray and Loren discuss the loss, what this means for the team going forward, any other stadium news that is released and will also have one of our most popular guests of all time come back on the air for his take. Then we will get you ready for a 10am start time as the Chargers travel to Charlotte to face the Carolina Panthers. Thu 08 Dec 2016 21:23 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161201.mp3 After a nice holiday break Loren and Ray return to the airwaves to discuss all the latest Chargers news. We will go over the Chargers 21-13 victory over the Texans, the latest player to go onto IR, the playoff picture and how the Chargers can make it, the future of Mike McCoy, the future of the San Diego Chargers and of course get you ready for this week's game, at home versus Tampa Bay. Thu 01 Dec 2016 21:36 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161110.mp3 Of Titans and Falls. The Chargers played a fantastic game beating the Titans 43-35 with huge contributions from the running game and the defense. The team moves closer to .500 yet their future is a bit clouded with Measure C failing. Ray and Loren will discuss both pieces of news affecting the team and the city going forward, will discuss the latest roster move and then get you ready for a Fish Fry as the Chargers face the Dolphins at the Q. Thu 10 Nov 2016 21:20 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161103.mp3 With their season on the line, the Chargers fall victim to the same things that put them in this position in the first place; injuries, mistakes and coaching. The Chargers lose to the Denver Broncos 27-19 in a game that gave them multiple chances to win, falling to 3-5. Ray and Loren will discuss what this means going forward, what went wrong and more injury/roster news. We will take your phone calls/emails and get you ready as the Chargers return home on the eve of the Election to face the Tennessee Titans. Thu 03 Nov 2016 21:25 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161027.mp3 The Chargers are going streaking! After an impressive come from behind win over the Falcons in Atlanta 33-30, giving Philip Rivers his first ever NFL win in a dome and the Chargers first winning streak since November 2014, the team has new life in the toughest division in the league. Ray and Loren will break down what was an impressive win, note their game balls, discuss what has changed with this team in just two weeks and discuss the latest roster news. We will also get you ready as the Chargers return to Denver to take on the Broncos in a game with (now) huge implications. Thu 27 Oct 2016 21:20 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161020.mp3 After a week off for the Podcast, the Chargers laid a huge egg in Oakland before holding on to beat Denver at home, ending their 11 game losing streak against the AFC West. The Bolts are 2-4, still in last place and still coached by Mike McCoy for the remainder of the season. Ray and Loren will discuss the two games, what they mean for the team going forward, what the win means for Mike McCoy, and the good and bad of this Chargers team. Ray also has something to get off his chest regarding Charger fans. Then we will get you ready for the Chargers away game versus the Falcons. The last time the Bolts played the Falcons? 2012 - the year we fired Norv Turner. Thu 20 Oct 2016 21:24 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20161005.mp3 Somehow, Someway, the Chargers find unique ways to rip your heart out. The Bolts literally fumble a two score lead to lose 35-34 to the previously winless Saints. They're 1-2 against previously winless teams and now will face multiple teams with winning records in a row, starting with the hated Oakland Raiders in the Black Hole. Ray and Loren will try to figure out what the hell is going on with this team, discuss the need for changes throughout, go over the latest group of injured players and prepare you for Raider week. And if you're lucky, we will do it without swearing so much you'll think we have Tourette's syndrome. And we will take your phone calls and e-mails, profanity laden or not. Wed 05 Oct 2016 21:30 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160928.mp3 New Game, Same Result. Re-runs anyone? The Chargers played a very sloppy game with numerous mistakes, penalties and missed opportunities leading to a loss 26-22 in the Hoosier State. The Bolts lose yet another close game and the questions and anger remain. Ray and Loren go back on the air to discuss the Chargers loss, the trends, this team's inability to win tight games, and what this means going forward. We will also look at the roster as yet ANOTHER player tears their Achilles in a non contact injury. We will then get you ready as Drew Brees returns to San Diego for the first time since 2005 leading the 0-3 Saints against the Bolts. And we will take your phone calls and e-mails Wed 28 Sep 2016 21:18 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160922.mp3 The Chargers show what they can do when they play four quarters of football as they destroyed the Jacksonville Jaguars 38-13. Ray and Loren will break down the Chargers victory, what it means to the team going forward, and the Chargers increasing injury situation as the team loses yet another critical contributor to the dreaded ACL injury. Then we will get you ready as the Chargers travel to the midwest to face Andrew Luck and the Colts. Thu 22 Sep 2016 21:22 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160915.mp3 It's early in the year for a Rated R Podcast but Mike McCoy decided to give us a reason for such. The Chargers jumped out to a 24-3 lead only to lose (not the Chiefs win but the Chargers loss) in overtime 33-27 that also cost them WR Keenan Allen for the year. Ray and Loren discuss what is the problem with the Chargers (cough Mike McCoy) using all their favorite four and five letter words. We will discuss what actually went right, what the team will do to combat the loss of their best offensive weapon. And then we will prepare you for the "white hot" opener as the Chargers take on the newly improved Jacksonville Jaguars at Qualcomm Stadium. Thu 15 Sep 2016 21:19 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160907.mp3 The Pre-Season is finally Done! It's time for the season opener as the Chargers travel to Missouri to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Loren and Ray discuss the final 53 man roster, the 10 man Practice Squad and the Chargers recent pick ups and subtractions. We will also get you ready with injury reports and a preview of the Chargers AFC West Rival going into Sunday Morning's game. Wed 07 Sep 2016 21:15 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160901.mp3 HAPPY DAYS IT'S FINALLY OVER (AND YES WE WILL BE TAKING CREDIT FOR IT! Ray and Loren are back on their normal times for their normal show (complete with audience participation/phone calls) to discuss a semi-meaningless loss to the Vikings, the first pre-season roster cut (and some of the big names who fell by the wayside), the latest injury news (poor BO) and of course the end of the holdout of Joey Bosa and who won/loss/tied. Thu 01 Sep 2016 20:43 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160825.mp3 What the heck is up with the Bosa camp? Chargers best offer is rejected and now threaten to decrease the over all contract. Who's at fault? Will Bosa finally sign before opening week? Which side are Ray and Loren on?

Loren and Ray discuss the news that the Chargers will remain here, will look ahead to what this means for the city/county and what could lie ahead. THEN we will get into actually talking about this past season and the upcoming off-season. What went right (not much)? What went wrong (a lot)? What does the team need (plenty)? and who are they looking to in the draft and off-season? Plus we'll have special guest Dave Agranoff from Save our Bolts on the program. Thu, 02 Feb 2016 20:22 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160114.mp3 Is this the end of the San Diego Chargers? Is this the beginning of another San Diego team? Ray and Loren will break down what might be the biggest day in San Diego sports history in decades as the NFL owners meet to decide the fate of the Chargers, the Rams and the Raiders. When the roulette wheel stops will there still be professional football in San Diego? We will discuss the end result, what led up to this, what it means to the city and the franchise we all love. Plus Derek Togerson from NBC SD drops by to share his oberservations from the Houston owners meeting. And of course we will take lots of phone calls and e-mails to get your opinion and take on what happened. Thu, 14 Jan 2016 20:33 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20160107.mp3 The 2015 season ends, and so ends the San Diego Chargers? The Chargers fall to the Broncos 27-20 at Mile High to end the year at 4-12 and secure the number 3 overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. After the game the team (so far) has retained HC Mike McCoy and fired OC Frank Reich. All this looms over next week's owners meeting in Houston where the fate of the Chargers, Raiders and Rams will be decided as all three teams have filed for relocation. Loren and Ray will discuss all of this as well as the season in general and what we expect to see when the Owners Meetings kick off next week. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails.

Ray and Loren will discuss the team, the good things that happened in that game, the negatives, and what this means for the team going forward.

Thu, 03 Dec 2015 20:12 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151125.mp3 On a week where we are prepared to feast on the thanksgiving bird, the Chargers served us the biggest turkey in decades.

The Chargers lost 22-19 to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in a game where the Chargers lost more players, made incredibly stupid mistakes and failed to get the job done when they needed to. Now at 2-7, with a bye coming up, the Chargers season is officially over. Ray and Loren will discuss the good (little), the bad (plenty), the ugly (even more) and the status of the team as we are over halfway done with the season. We might even talk a little draft/free agency and coaching candidates just to look ahead. Thu, 12 Nov 2015 20:25 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151103.mp3 The Chargers lose (again) on a last second play (again) after their offense couldn't score a touchdown and the defense couldn't hold (again) and end the game with a lot of players injured (again). With this the Bolts drop to 2-6 and have likely ended their 2015 season. Ray and Loren will break down the good, bad, ugly in this Ravens game, discuss what needs to change, what needs to stay the same and what the team needs to move forward. We will also talk a little stadium news as well. Then we will get you ready for the Monday Night showdown with Jay Cutler and the Bears. We will also take your phone calls, emails and rants. Tue, 03 Nov 2015 20:19 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151028.mp3 The Chargers lost 37-29 to their arch rivals the Oakland Raiders, in a game that they were down 37-6 in the third quarter and were outplayed/coached/worked/cheered. Make no mistake this might have been the most embarrassing home loss in over a decade. Ray and Loren are pretty pissed off about it and they'll let it be known what's the matter with this team. We will go over what is wrong with this team, who is at fault, the BS coming from Chargers park and if there's any time left we will get you ready for the Baltimore Ravens game. Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:33 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151022.mp3 What's in a score? The Chargers lose to the Packers 27-20 after Rivers threw for 500 yards, no interceptions and the Chargers defense swarmed one of the best offenses in the game. So should we feel good or bad about this one? Ray and Loren will break down the game, the positives, the negatives and what this says about Mike McCoy, Frank Reich and John Pagano. We will also get you fired up for RAIDER WEEK as the Oakland Raiders (and their fan base) come to America's Finest City. And we will take your phone calls and e-mails! Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:35 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151015.mp3 The Chargers keep finding amazing ways to rip your heart out. Our Bolts lose 24-20 on a last second touchdown to the Steelers after a game with tons of questionable decisions/play calling and general all around issues. Ray and Loren have a lot to break down, quite a bit of it through curse words, as we look at what went right, what went wrong, what needs to change and how the season could still be saved. We will also get you ready as the Chargers face the incredibly difficult challenge of going to Lambeau to face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Thu, 15 Oct 2015 20:51 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151008.mp3 The Chargers had luck and some skill on their side as they squeaked by the Cleveland Browns 30-27. Ray and Loren will discuss what went right/wrong during the game, the status of the team and what this win might suggest for the future. We will also discuss the team's injury situation, roster moves and Telesco being an epic troll to Chargers fans. Then we will get you ready for Monday Night Football as the Steelers come to San Diego. Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:08 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20151001.mp3 Ray and Loren discuss our Bolts being dismantled by the Vikings 31-14 in one of the most pathetic and disgraceful games in the last decade. We will talk about the few positives, the overwhelming number of negatives, the huge injury list and what this team needs to turn this ship around. Then we will break down a legitimate do-or-die game as the Chargers must be the Browns in San Diego. Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:11 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20150924.mp3 Our beloved Bolts played an incredibly ugly game as they fell to the Bengals 24-19 in a game that still could've been won by the Chargers. Ray and Loren will break down the good (there's definitely some), the bad (more of that) and the ugly (definitely some) of a disappointing game. We will discuss the latest team news and get you ready as the Chargers head to the land of 10,000 lakes to take on Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. And we will take your phone calls and e-mails. Thu, 24 Sep 2015 20:21 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20150917.mp3 White Hot Sunday leads to a red-hot comeback. The Chargers come back from a 21-3 deficit to rattle off 30 unanswered points, winning their first home opener in years 33-28 in the biggest home comeback in team history. Ray and Loren will break down the fantastic victory, hand out game balls, talk about the differences between this team and last year's and discuss the injury situation. Then we will get you ready as the Chargers travel to the Queen City to face Andy Dalton and the Bengals. Thu, 17 Sep 2015 20:14 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20150910.mp3 Finally we get real football back ladies and gentlemen! Ray and Loren will break down the 2015 San Diego Chargers roster and practice squad, discuss the surprises and where the team is strongest and weakest.

And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:07 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-201500625.mp3 On a special summer edition of the Bolttalk Podcast, Loren and Ray will discuss what has been making news among Chargers fans. While there's two good pieces of news (signing of entire draft class and the addition of OL Joe Barksdale), there's a lot of negatives to discuss. The Chargers/City public spat, the dismissal of the CSAG proposal and the increasing discussion that the Chargers are biding time before the move to LA.

There were some amazing highs (4 game win streak, fantastic comebacks, beating Seattle) and miserable lows (2-4 vs. Division, shut out by Miami, laid egg vs. KC).

Well because the Jets were SO horrible, and it is Raider week, that there's no way to describe either EXCEPT with curse words, so we are making this week's show R-Rated. Ray and Loren will discuss IN GREAT DETAIL the failings of the Jets, the success of the Chargers, the unmerciful injury bug and what it means for the next man up.

Ray and Loren will break down the win against the Jags, what looked good, what didn't, and the continuing injury trouble as the team keeps losing starters and had too many injured for the inactive list. We will discuss some AFC West news, any roster news and get you prepared as the J-E-T-S fly into town. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails!

Thu, 18 Sep 2014 20:31 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20140911.mp3 Well.....that didn't go as planned. In a game that looked more pre-season than regular season, the Bolts lost their second late MNF opener in a row to the Cardinals 18-17. Ray and guest host BigMike will discuss where things went wrong, where things went right (hint: rookies), how much Charger fans should panic (hint: not very much) and look ahead to the home opener against the defending world champion Seahawks. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails, and I'm sure there's alot to say!

Thu, 04 Sep 2014 20:11 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20140828.mp3 If the preseason is meaningless, and yet the third game is the most important, should Charger fans feel more or less confident this week than others? Loren and Ray will discuss a lot of positives that came out of a 21-7 loss to the 49ers, whether this game should make Charger fans feel more positive or less about the team, will discuss cuts and who we think is most likely to make the roster and maybe will touch on the Tart Bowl where the Cardinals and Chargers meet, and this time, it's absolutely meaningless. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails. Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:08 -0800 http://podcasts.bolttalk.org/BoltTalk-20140820.mp3 Well.........that didn't go well. Does a game mean more or less after you get your butt whooped?
