General Manager A.J. Smith is on record as saying that the San Diego Chargers will get rid of players who are not of good “character.”
Oh, really?
Let’s see what the Chargers do with standout wide receiver Vincent Jackson before judging whether they are all about character.
It has been well documented that Jackson was arrested one year ago and charged with drunken driving. (His lawyer was successfully able to put off the court case throughout the 2009 season so that Jackson could play without possible suspension.)
This comes after Jackson pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving in 2006 and drew five years probation. Yes, the current charge is within that five-year period.
On top of this, we have discovered that Jackson hitched a ride to Sunday’s playoff game against the New York Jets with QB Philip Rivers because Jackson was stopped by police on game day for “loud music” and then was found to be driving without a personal license in a car with expired registration.
When all of these matters are sorted out, Jackson will likely draw a 2- to 4-game suspension from Commissioner Roger Goodell at the beginning of the 2010 season.
The obvious is that Jackson is not a man of “character.” The bigger question is whether the Chargers will let him walk due to his lack of character.
It would be easy to let LB Shawne Merriman and CB Antonio Cromartie leave before next season due to personal issues they’ve experienced. After all, their production has slipped.
But Jackson had his best season ever in 2009 and continues to get better. What happens from here will be very interesting.

The Chargers need Jackson because they are not overly deep at receivers. They will just have to take their medicine with a suspension then hope he comes back and stays out of trouble and plays like he has been, except for the Jets game.
Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I started take up real money.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
