L.T. was all washed up. Shawne Merriman was a has-been, and Philip Rivers a never-was. It seemed even coach Norv Turner was dragging them down. The Chargers were 2-3, toppled from their AFC West perch, a conquered dynasty that never conquered much of anything...

A regular season loss is...
When the Saints put their unbeaten record on the line against the one-win Buccaneers, they will do so without running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis , per Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune .
