People keep claiming that it is, so I felt compelled to ask: Have the San Diego Chargers ever had an offseason worse than this?
Every time something new and terrible happens with the San Diego Chargers this offseason (Rivers trade rumors, Weddle contract non-negotiations, Los Angeles rumors, the team fighting with the city, Gates being suspended, etc.), people fill up my mentions on Twitter and my e-mail inbox with the phrase "worst Chargers offseason ever."
Now, I've only been a fan for about 17 years. That's not all that long. The team existed for nearly 40 years before that, and I have to imagine some of those offseasons were terrible.
