- Lolcow (n) - A person or group of people laughed at for actions that they take, despite not trying to be funny. They may try to take themselves seriously, but they are often "milked" for laughs with or without their knowledge.
This is a team that I had done before (albeit very briefly), but a lot has happened to them since that time. There's been a relocation several hours north to Los Angeles to eventually play in a new stadium with the Rams. In the most typical Charger way, it's been a disaster so far due to a combination of poor decision-making and terrible luck. The team itself isn't the laughingstock here, but the leadership behind it... or lack thereof.
They're a team without a true home. A mercenary squad, if you will. Come and witness the tragedy of wasted talent and maligned ownership for yourself. - Sport
27-0 to 30-31. Incredible, the ineptitude of this organization.
It will only get worse.
That Diamond Dogs speech almost turned me into a Bolts fan

As a chargers fan it inspires
Aged well eh?
@@TheDragonsPit you’re damn right it did I was a huge Herbert fan When he was in college and seeing him succeed like this? Absolutely crazy
I just love how LA has basically given the middle finger to the NFL as a whole. The city and area thrived for 20 years without a team. The league clearly needs LA far more than vice versa.
The NFL doesn't need LA either. They were sitting pretty as America's top sports league from 1995-2015. They just saw an opportunity to make more money with Stan Kroenke's new palace in Inglewood.
Ted Faas they still are the top American sport
Ted Faas well, if they’re making more money because of LA, then they needed it. That’s the game of capitalism, good friend. If you-as a business-aren’t trying to maximize profit, you’re going to sink, sooner or later. Usually sooner.
It’s like a top clothing chain opening a superstore in the middle of Times Square. Yes they were already a top chain, but they’re making hella more money now (and pleasing shareholders) with the new, mega location.
Get it?
The NFL owners in those twenty years was basically blackmailing the host cities of their clubs to buy their club a new stadium and give more money or that the team “Eill move to LA.”
I don’t know the specifics, but why move from San Diego? Isn’t San Fiego a wealthy city? The team has been there for almost sixty years. Just stupid greed and the Spanos guy is reaping it now. This is why I basically I have turned my back on the NFL, just for the stupid ass greed. Fuck the NFL in the ass.
Leon Andrews “fuck the NFL in the ass.” With or without lube?
27-0. This has aged well.
Yes, it has.
Against the Jaguars?? THE JAGUARS!!!!
Pain
Raiders 63 Chargers 14.
Most of Tree’s vids age well but this aged like a fine wine, especially with the Chargers about to hit the damn reset button again.
Count how many times Spanos is mentioned
Dean FUCKING spanos
13
I counted 12, including the "Dean Spanos, the man with no spine" slide and the tweet about him being booed.
Its like This Week In Sportsball all over again
No take a shot every time he says Spanos instead
Hell, even South Park made fun of Spanos and the empty stadium
Art Artsa Check out my channel? God bless czcams.com/video/E_x0l2_Bnnw/video.html
Daniel 1 Jesus dude calm down
Shavon Suggs lmao i love it
damn man are you a chargers fan, just chill out man
what does me being a jags fan have anything to do with this, your just over reacting for no reason, yeah it's sometimes annoying when people advertise their channel but to react like that to him and others is too much man
Brandon Staley and the 2022 Los Angeles Chargers: You had a 27-0 lead and had five takeaways that led to 20 points and converted six more third downs, and you still lost?!
What a massive choke job.
I bet Marty Schottenheimer, Ladainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Shawne Merriman, Nate Kaeding, Marlon McCree and the 2006 San Diego Chargers are off the hook as the biggest chokers in team history.
LA is more of a College ball city: the USC/UCLA rivalry goes on at all levels.
About 10+ years ago, signs were hung over the entrances to the Colosseum (where USC plays), "With teams like these, who needs the NFL?"
The USC/UCLA rivalry is a lot of good-natured competition. Lots of fun!
I'm not privy to their financial details, but it was chickenshit that the Chargers' organization left a loyal fanbase in San Diego.
USC football team filled the void from not having a NFL
@@douglasstrother6584 how DARE San Diego be more concerned with the homeless and infrastructure than to line Dean Spanos pockets!? For shame
You knew it was bad when the Eagles fans took the stadium over in week 4. Keep in mind Philly is over 3000 miles away
From Memes 2 Dremes you should see the mariners stadium when Toronto plays there, its basically their home away from home.
With the pure size of LA they have can multiple fan bases there enough to fill up that small 30k player stadium
LA has more transplants than any other city in the country. But not just LA, but the entire SoCal region
whosaidthat84 Same as Phoenix. All transplants.
It's the entire Sun Belt.
I see those Metal Gear references. Outer Heaven? Mother Base? Metal Gear? NANOMACHINES? PSYCO MANTIS? Tree, have you just finished playing Phantom Pain?
MrPrivatePanda You’re that ninja
EYE. HAVE. YOU.
I died when he said they executed their own FOXDIE
THE WAR ECONOMY
who are the patriots ?
2022-23 Season: Alright it is done, you finally managed to make it to the playoffs for the first time since the 2018-2019 season and you have a 10-7record, and you managed to get into a Wild Card Game! And you are humiliating the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 27-0 lead; you know what to exactly do SWEEP THE F***ING LEG! FINISH THEM!
30-14: Okay you got blown the f**k up okay listen It's not that big of a deal, I know things may not be so bad just make sure to regroup and take them down in the other quarters YOU GOT THIS!
30-20: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
30-28: Really is this how we are doing s**t now?! Don't do it Don't Do It Charges Don’t Go Full Chargers Again! this year Boys! Especially when you have a decent season if you screw this up again you may as well delete the franchise again!, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT!
30-31: REVERSE SWEEP! YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BLEW IT! YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BLEW IT! F***k you, Spanos! Choking Reigns Supreme! Congratulation! Los Angeles Chagres!
Instead of 28-3.
It’s 27-0.
They can’t even be the AFC version of the Falcons anymore without the 28-3 fiasco.
They are the Falcons but with the 27-0 choke
@@NWOWCW4Life1 At least the Falcons got a divisional and NFC championship out of it. The Chargers couldn't even make it out of the wild card.
and now I await the Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers: a Legacy of Failure.
digitalrailroader
That Legacy is called one yard short.
digitalrailroader
As a Titans fan, same
If UT's including Houston's AFL years, it can't be an LoF. "One Yard Short" for sure.
I'd like to see that.
AJonAir Sure he can. He did it with the San Jose Sharks. Rebranding or renaming doesn't make you immune.
Metal Gear Solid + Football + Urinating Tree = SNAAAAAAKE!
Truely words that kill
Rivers? Rivers!? RRIIIIIVVVVEEEERRS!!!!!!
Browns one win in the last 32 games are from the chargers
Doms Meme Dream I’m a Charger fan that was there for it Hahahaha
what is your point?
thunderbolts24 24 im not trying to fight both of our teams suck ass
To Release is To Resolve that doesn’t make sense tho. The team has a good chance this year unless there is just a mass of injuries.
To Release is To Resolve I’m here at the end of the season and looks like you were wrong
POV: ur here after the chargers blew a 27 point lead to the jaguars oh BTW this video aged pretty good
UrinatingTree is a Metal Gear fan and uses the series terminology to apply to a crumbling organization such as the Chargers...just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better!
It was a SOLID reference to SNAKE XD
Right!
Maybe if the Chargers win the Super Bowl, he can play the Peace Walker theme 😆
He uh.... kept you waiting huh?
or Rules of Nature
The chargers are gonna be the ones saying at least we have lebron
David Gold 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely
Let's not forget Kawhi Leonard signed with the Clippers weeks after the Raptors won the NBA Finals
After being blown out by the Raiders 63-21 in the black hole in Vegas and their coach being fired, this video definitely aged like wine.
I forgot how great the music was in the Metal Gear series.
Calling the Chargers “Metal Gear: Survive” was harsh. Damn, that even hurt me.
At least San Diego still has the Padres. And by the Padres, I really just mean Don and Mud Cat, the creme de la creme.
That's all they have
AMD they have their upcoming AAF football team next year, and that team is gonna get hyped as shit, cuz they got the Rams greatest show on turn head coach returning to football on their team.
Cadrid makes no sense why the 8th most populated city in America only has an MLB team. Yet, cities like Cleveland, Baltimore, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati have more than one professional sports team.
Cadrid doesn’t help tho that the Padres are one of the most poorly run franchises in the MLB and have a playoff drought as long as the Sacramento Kings’ drought.
Just like Oakland, well starting in 2020 officially.
Who’s here after the Chargers blew a 27 point lead against the Jaguars?
Me
"Wait til they return to Qualcomm"
Too late, it's torn down. The new Aztecs Stadium is mostly built there though
Seattle Supersonics: "The NBA's Ghost Team"
Cleveland Browns: "The NFL's Zombie Team"
The Oklahoma City Thunder: "The NBA's Super Fuck-Up"
The Miami Dolphins : Professional Football's Constant Chokeshow
Crazy Luigi no
Dorian Arnold and no
As a life long Chargers fan, thank you so much for this. Down with Spanos! Viva la bolts!
Two years later...and losing the Chargers from my home town still hurts. The players deserve better.
Thanks Spanos. s/
*>calls the Chargers Diamond Dogs*
*>Starts the video with MGS4's intro*
Why are we here, just to suffer?
They played like us like a damn fiddle.
The Chargers blew a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars in the playoffs 😂
They also allowed 63 points to the Raiders, who scored 0 points last week lmfaoo😂😂
Philip Rivers: 0-6 against Tom Brady including 0-3 in the playoffs.
Another Dan Fouts: built for the regular season, but not for the postseason.
We could’ve gotten a chip on 06 but that nigga didn’t show up for shit LT carried the offense and the defense fucked up Brady but he and McCree fucked us over Smfh. I’m still bathing in sadness from that loss 😤
@@mtmaruchan3179 Unfortunately, Philip Rivers' detractors will say, "Philip, didn't do his own end of the bargain in either playoff game against the Pats."
Mt Maruchan also that fumbled interception that could have won the game
Justin Hebert will soon join the conversation
I love the Metal Gear references. I never thought I would ever see you and the Metal Gear franchise would collide in the same sentence.
We lost the wrong Spanos today. R.I.P Alex.
Fuck dementia! It's such a cruel disease that I wouldn't even wish it on Dean.
Dean Spanos is the EA of NFL owners
I'd say Rockstar. Look where they came from vs where they are now. A shell of what they were
And now. The rams have won a super bowl. They’re LA’s team now, confirmed
Nahhh, it's still the Raiders. After they won did you really hear about that much fanfare in LA? And I say that as an Eagles/Texans fan. It was like a blip on the radar
As a Southern Californian I will ranked all NFL teams in California by popularity(my opinion of course)
1.Raiders( might change when they leave)
2.49ers
3.Rams(if they win the super bowl they're moving up)
4.other NFL teams(mainly Cowboy fans)
5.San Diego Chargers
6. LA Chargers
d0ntfeedphil there are certainly more broken hearted San Diego Charger fans than LA Charger fans. I like your ranking system.
I went to school in southern california, saw like 3-4 chargers fans there, way more steelers,cowboys,vikings,packers, niners, broncos, and of course the other california teams, the chargers are way smaller than they should be in southern california.
@@TheCaptainjuicy basically the Chargers only fan base was in San Diego County
@@TheCaptainjuicyread the article why your team sucks 2018 Los Angeles chargers from Deadspin and read the comments section. It'll better illustrate why they don't have any more fans.
@@TheCaptainjuicy I live in LA as well, I've seen plenty of people wearing Raiders and Rams merch. The ONLY time I remember seeing ANYBODY wearing any Chargers gear was this old man I spoke to in line at the DMV...AND HE HAD JUST MOVED HERE FROM SAN DIEGO.
Lol even the Saskatchewan Roughriders from the Cfl Fill up their 30k stadium most games..
and it's actually Roughrider fans, not the other teams' fans
I Like the sport, Sport is good
Kingof Grim indeed it is
I don’t like Jerry Jones
me too madeye, Jerry is cancer
I enjoy the sport yes
Did the ball go
That ending monologue was beautiful
Love all the Metal Gear references in this vid. Hopefully they continue whenever the Chargers are mentioned this season in This Week In Sportsball.
The Chargers, The only team that has 2 Lolcow videos about them....
The Mets have 3
The only good team, he meant.
Now the Redskins
Toss in the Browns, Falcons, Vikings, Steelers, and you've got several sports lolcows to laugh at.
Make that 3 due to their collapse against the freaking Jaguars.
Awesome Metal Gear Solid reference at the beginning and in the entire video
I feel bad for Chargers fans
Jack The Isles fan feels bad man. I grew up watching the bolts so I couldn't just give them up, especially since I love watching our players.
Javier Lopez
I understand my dads a Jets fan
Dean Spanos is such a dumb fuck
The three of us left appreciate your thoughts
What fans?
Yeah I used to be a Charger fan. Then they left to LA. I’m from San Diego so my loyalty didn’t follow them. It stayed here in my city. What sucks about it is I knew they would win in LA in spite of me. And now they are 9-3 and on there way to a playoff run. I’ve never wanted them to return to form so bad. All those years in SD, all the heart break, fumbling INTs, late hitting QBs at the end of games, missed field goals, bad play calls, all the stupid things they did to lose us our chance at a championship well now I hope that happens in LA. I hope they get all the way there to the SB and then miss a FG in the last second of the game to lose. Fuck the Chargers, fuck LA(in the sports sense), and yes I am hurt(as much as one can be about a sports team) but that was my team. I started watching football as a kid in 2004. I loved that team, LT(#21) is my favorite player of all time. I went through that hardship when we had a chance to beat the jets and missed a FG, went through the 14-2 season that they gave the game to Brady in the playoffs , even six years later in like 2010 i was 16, we lost to Mark Sanchez and the jets again. That was the last time I cried for the team. Point is a lot of us loved the SD chargers, and when football in SD stopped our love for it stopped too. This was the long way of saying I’m not a fan in-fact I hate them(as much as you can a sports team).
Ps. If they would have called themselves the Southern California Chargers I would be a fan to this day. But Spanos is a bitch that left the city with his tail between his legs as fast as he could without acknowledging us because he didn’t get his little baby stadium. He threw a fit and stomped his way out and guess what he stomped on a lot of fans around here too so now it would take 2 changes for me to like the Chargers again.
1. New ownership
2. Name change to Southern California Chargers, like New England patriots, no one gives a fuck that it’s in Foxborough because they represent the whole area. Well I’d feel the same way if the Chargers represented SO CaL instead of LA.
Now Spanos might be forced to sell the team
As someone who lives in San Diego. Sell them back here, give us Jeff Bezos, he'll build a stadium like nothing. People are fans here, just not fans of Dean spanos and with Padres taking serious into competition, we deserve our football team back!
An interesting development: Spanos’ own sister is suing him.
Spanos was the lone dislike
TBleach and his 3 clones
Yes, finally.
Spanos FUCK YOU SPANOS!
Spanos Fuck you
Fuck You Spanos 👆👆
Spanos fuck you Spanos
Spanos
Fuck you, Spanos!
Rivers what's wrong? Rivers?! RIVVEEEEERRRRSRSSSSS!!
And in 2023, another missed field goal vs the Jags in the Wildcard sent them to chokeland
Sport sport never changes...
....ok maybe a little.

Not sponsored by Seatgeek, but sponsored by Metal Gear!
Matt does things it’s the work of the patriot system!!!!!
La-li-lu-le-lo. La-li-lu-le-lo.
Its a power to surpass metal gear
Cleveland may have the Factory of Sadness with the Browns... but Seattle will ALWAYS have the Dispensary of Disappointment that is the Mariners. Go M's!
The Mariners made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
Well, now LA won a Super Bowl... oh, it was the Rams... with Eric Weddle
If the Mariners don’t make the playoffs (which they will) may you please do a legacy of failure on them as a mariners fan I know true pain in baseball
Luigi55555 Check out my channel? God bless czcams.com/video/E_x0l2_Bnnw/video.html
Well with the Athletics now holding onto the 2nd WC spot, you'll start to winning games to make it there.
Luigi55555 Same thing with the brewers. They definitely deserve one if the don't make it/blow it.
Three consecutive generational talents. No World Series. That's a legacy of failure.
Seattle in general is a legacy in failure. Between the M's, the Seahawks (Tree could do a whole video on the interception, you know the one) and the Sonics Seattle sports fans are numb from being punched in the groin.
At least UW is strong in the PAC-12 North.
Never have I seen a video with so much knowledge and humor all at once. You have officially became my favorite channel on CZcams
Kept you waiting, huh?
This made me too happy as a metal gear fan. Good work.
Aged like a fine wine.
I eagerly await a Detroit Lions video. Legacy of Failure, or not...I’m awaiting that golden nugget of entertainment.
Everyone is waiting for those 3 magic words...
Upon finding your channel I have gone back and started watching old episodes. GODDAMN I love your channel. One of the best. Cheers!
“Chargers have reached liquid stage” 😆 Perfect.
As a charger fan from San Diego (Yes I'm STILL a fan), this video and it's references are greatly appreciated. The Bolts are quite literally a team without a city. I appreciate your sympathy, Tree!
The best memories I have of this team is playing as Drew Brees and LaDainian Tomlinson in Madden 2004
Damn this hit me hard. As a Chargers fan I am both sad and energized after that speech haha
You are a genius! The intro to MGSIV are my fav. Of all time. Love the play with words and the connection to MGSIV.
Thank you for this :)
Even though it's 2022 and this is the first time I saw this video, I loved the Metal Gear Solid references. It reminds me why I love this channel
Love the Metal Gear shit going on here
Another Chargers video? God damn spanos probably pissed off tree
And tree is from Pittsburgh.
What was the first one?
@@michaeldehaeseleer6554 When they were still in San Degio.
I love the amount of Metal Gear references in this video. It's hilarious and sad too.
This is one of your best videos yet man great job!
You could Say urinating tree "kept us waiting" "huh?"
Isn't that relatively common? Lol.
UrinatingTree You’re pretty good.
UrinatingTree I've been here since 10k subs, you've kept me waiting since the last time the sjsharks Didn't choke In the playoffs.
UrinatingTree yes indeed
The metal gear themed episode turns me on.
Damn i got goosebumps and i think I'm a chargers fan now. Thanks Tree!
Thank you for the videos you make and the hard work making them.
This is one of the most relatable, insightful, thought-provoking videos you have ever done. In my opinion, this video exemplifies your strongest strength and the most impressive aspect that makes your channel legendary: using both your influence and knowledge in sports and internet/video game culture to deconstruct and appraise the state of any North American professional sports club. Darren, you are one of the smartest men I have never met and am proud to be part of your community. The last thing I need before I put your picture on my dresser is the ultimate deconstruction of Eugene Melnyk raping the Ottawa Senators. Thanks again fam, keep up the legendary craft.
Weird this came up in my suggestions today. December 15, 2023.
This is the perfect blend of new and old Tree, and it's beaten the 49ers video as my favorite Lolcow.
The Metal Gear References and music in this are amazing. Tree, never quit this stuff
why are we still here? just to suffer?
Every night... I can feel my leg and my arm... even my fingers... The body I've lost... the comrades I lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. *You feel it, too, don't you?* I'm gonna make them give back our past...
Prob one of the best videos ever😂😂
I really like this cross-over idea lol. Never expected MGS and Football to be connected this way.
Video game references combined with football references? why I love this channel......people who watch sports and don't care for video games prolly aren't gonna get the first 30 sec of this video....
As one of the few loyal Chargers fans out there, all I can say is "Fuck You Spanos. You screwed us over and you should be blamed for it. Sell the team immediately!"
*Spanos hatred intensifies*
Tree, I loved the MGS4 reference in the beginning. You are amazing
This video was worth it for all of the Metal Gear Solid jokes and references. 👍👍👍
Why are we still here.....just to suffer?
Why does it feel like the Intro is a sponsor for NordVPN 😂
You have done two things here combined the two things I love " Sports and the MGS Series " and for that I SALUTE YOU SIR
This is one of your best videos yet.
Damn I just know he’s comming for my Clippers soon 😭😭
And I await that day with baited breath...
San Diego clippers
Move the Chargers back to San Diego
Chargers: go fuck yourself San Diego
LeSean McCoy Is Innocent can we please get a team back in st.louis
elmow white #FuckAllLATeams
Except the LA Kings and
LA Dodgers
LeSean McCoy Is Innocent give it a couple years then the kings shall collapse God help us all least they ain't the Blues
Yes
The metal gear music makes this. Well done tree, hit it out of the park as always.
I hit that like button as soon as I heard the intro. Metal gear FTW!
The Charlotte Hornets the BeeCow of the NBA! Next video idea - the beecow 😂
Hahahaha Even if I see my magic I am fine with that but I see what you did!
Haha so funny
I had no idea the Charlotte Hornets Existed.
They regained the name after the New Orleans Hornets gave up the Hornets name and gave it to the Charlotte Bobcats. You know, the worst team in modern-day NBA history.
Actually, if Urinating Tree did a video about the Hornets, I think should be called "Michael Jordan's Biggest Mistake." Or something like that.
Thank you, Houston!
Sincerely, a very pleased Chiefs fan
Also sincerely, San Diego
As a huge Metal Gear fanboy, I can confidently say this is the greatest NFL or football related video ever made. NFL Films should close down immediately as they have no hope even equaling this masterpiece.
A UrinatingTreexMetalGear video is just pure genius! Thank you for this! Haha
Diamond Dogs? The Chargers are the NFL's embodiment of Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
That's the Jets. I mean my god, look at their drafts
Good luck coming back, Qualcomm stadium has been demolished 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
"This team is Metal Gear Survive" best analogy ever !!!!
These metal gear references are too much but they're perfect lol
