Nine satirical classified ads, three columns, all team-specific. FOR SALE. WANTED. LOST & FOUND. HELP WANTED. ANNOUNCEMENT. NOTICE. PERSONALS. OBITUARIES. The CONTACT line is always the punchline. Always.
The Chargers went 11–6 in 2025, made the playoffs, and lost to the New England Patriots in the wild card round by a score of 3–16. The Patriots went 6–11 in the regular season. The Chargers scored 3 points. The 11–6 regular season has been filed. The 3–16 result has also been filed. Both are available for examination. The examination is not recommended.
Justin Herbert is one of the most statistically accomplished quarterbacks of his generation. He has 102 touchdowns in his first three seasons, a record. He has not won a playoff game. The Chargers have made three playoff appearances under Herbert. They have won zero postseason games. The Chargers have J. Harbaugh now. J. Harbaugh wins playoff games. The hypothesis is being tested.
The Los Angeles Chargers scored 3 points against the 14–3 New England Patriots, who proceeded to reach the Super Bowl in the 2025 wild card game. The offense was present at Gillette Stadium. The offense did not produce further. The 3 points are accounted for. The remaining points were not produced. M. McDaniel has been brought in as offensive coordinator. He is aware of the 3 points. He has been briefed thoroughly.
The Chargers scored 3 points in their most recent playoff appearance. They scored 11–6 worth of points during the regular season. The discrepancy has been noted. M. McDaniel has been hired as offensive coordinator with a mandate to address the discrepancy. He is familiar with potent offenses. He is also familiar with the Chargers' division. He has been on the other side of it for three years.
The Los Angeles Chargers wish to announce that the 3–16 wild card loss to the New England Patriots has been reviewed thoroughly. New offensive coordinator M. McDaniel has been briefed. The offensive line has been reinforced. J. Herbert remains. J. Harbaugh remains. The 3 points are not a goal for 2026. The organization has confirmed that more than 3 points is the objective. This has been communicated to all parties.
Available as a full unit: an 11–6 regular season, a wild card berth, a trip to New England, and a 3–16 loss to a team that went 6–11 in the regular season. Buyer receives all components. The run lasted one game. The run has been reviewed. M. McDaniel has reviewed it. He has not said anything publicly about what he found. His face has said some things. His face is under review.
The Los Angeles Chargers formally notify the AFC West that J. Herbert, J. Harbaugh, and M. McDaniel are all present for 2026. The Chargers further notify the division that the 3–16 wild card result has been reviewed and action has been taken. The division has been notified. The Patriots have also been notified. The notification to the Patriots is more pointed.
Charger Nation, lifelong. Have watched Herbert break records and lose playoff games. Have watched three postseason appearances produce zero wins. Have J. Harbaugh now, who wins playoff games. Have M. McDaniel, who has built potent offenses. Have the powder blue. Have SoFi Stadium. Would like very much for the next playoff game to produce more than 3 points. The bar has been set. The bar is low. The bar is clearing-able.
Passed in New England, January 2026, by a score of 3–16. It went 11–6. It featured Justin Herbert at his statistical best. It made the playoffs for the second consecutive year under J. Harbaugh. It scored 3 points in its final game. It is survived by a new offensive coordinator, a reinforced offensive line, Charger Nation, and a very specific motivation for 2026. Services were quiet. The 3 points were noted. They will not be forgotten.
A full team-specific Top Ten list. Completely deadpan. Treats every item with total journalistic seriousness. The list below is a sample. Yours will be specific to your team’s particular situation, history, and ongoing triumphs and disasters.
Seven team-specific fake eBay listings, ready to go every cycle, styled exactly like the real site — photo, description, seller, and current bid. The items are always something your team has misplaced, squandered, or never possessed. Reserve has not been met, and never may be met.
One team-specific Outer Limits Enquirer front page, every cycle. Completely straight-faced. It sells itself — that’s how funny it is.
Four new proposed NFL rules, each presented with complete regulatory seriousness. The title is always “THE NFL COMPETITION COMMITTEE PROPOSES:” followed by the rule name. Three to five sentences of deadpan satire. A new batch of four rules, every seven-week cycle.
Effective immediately, any player who is visibly sad after a penalty will be allowed to challenge the call on emotional grounds. The replay official will review the player’s expression in slow motion. If certified “genuinely devastated” by a panel of three therapists stationed in the press box, the penalty is waived. The Dallas Cowboys have already filed 847 pre-season challenges.
Starting in 2026, head coaches will be required to answer one post-game question with complete honesty. The question will be selected at random by a wheel spin. Early testing was abandoned after three coaches resigned, one cried, and Bill Belichick’s honest answer was legally classified as a threat.
In an effort to make fumbles less discouraging, any fumble recovered by the opposing team will now be referred to as an “unintentional lateral.” The player who fumbled will receive a certificate of effort. The team that recovered it will receive six points. Both outcomes will be celebrated equally on the official broadcast.
All play-by-play announcers will now be graded in real time by a panel of former players. Phrases such as “he just wanted it more,” “that’s a football player right there,” and “you cannot teach that” will trigger an automatic fine of $500 per occurrence. Early projections suggest the league will be debt-free by Week 3.
A fully illustrated satirical children’s book, team-specific, written for the fan who has a child who needs to understand why Sunday afternoons are like this. The illustrations are beautiful. The subject matter is not. Both things are intentional.
