One flawed team will play in Super Bowl, why not Bolts?

"Some people see things as they are and say, why? I dream of things that never were and say, why not?"
- Robert F. Kennedy
Why not the Chargers? Indeed. Why not the Chargers? They should be sipping the sweet wine pressed from the words RFK once poured into this nation's glass, words which mean so much more than the Little Engine's "I think I can."
Look around. That's all you have to do. This is one dream that can become a reality, because it's doable. The course is not strewn with obstacles that cannot be defeated.
The Atlantic Wall didn't stop the Allied armies from entering France, and Rommel devised that. The NFL, believe me, has no Rommels currently available, now that Stonewall Bill Belichick has been forced to retreat under his hoodie.
The Chargers, as crazy-stupid as it may have sounded a month ago, will host a first-round AFC playoff game Saturday night when the Indianapolis Colts are herded into the Qualcomm livery. Preposterous.
The Colts are good. Perhaps real good, with a fabled captain in quarterback Peyton Manning. But they are not a great team. There is no great team - at least the ugly head of one has yet to be reared during this improbable football year, in which a foundering, 4-8 club can morph into 8-8 AFC West champion."
