Chargers waive NT Breiden Fehoko, FB Gabe Nabers on cutdown day

Undrafted rookie nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, the star of the latest “Hard Knocks” episode, was waived by the Chargers on Saturday, according to a source.

Fehoko won over “Hard Knocks” viewers with his underdog story and gave the Chargers a tough decision on cutdown day with his determination on the practice field.

The team has interest in keeping Fehoko for their practice squad, the source informed the Southern California News Group.

“Always blessed,” Fehoko tweeted about the news. “Never stop working. Chapter one.”

Fehoko impressed coaches and teammates with his technique and confidence, but his quest to make the Chargers’ 53-man roster was always an uphill battle because of the team’s depth on the defensive line.

Fehoko’s memorable scene on “Hard Knocks” was when he performed the ceremonial haka in front of the team.

Chargers release fullbacks

In a surprising move, fullback Gabe Nabers was released by the Chargers, according to a source.

On Friday, fullback Bobby Holly was released, leading many to believe Nabers had won the opening left by Derek Watt, who signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason.

The team plans to add Nabers to their practice squad if he clears waivers, according to the source. That likely means the Chargers will add Nabers to the active roster on a week-to-week basis for matchup purposes.

The Chargers were fans of Nabers because of his versatility as a former tight end at Florida State.

OTHER CUTS

Undrafted rookie running back Darius Bradwell was also waived by the Chargers, according to a source. He was another memorable character from this season’s “Hard Knocks.”

Undrafted rookie cornerback Kevin McGill was released by the Chargers, according to a source.

The Chargers have until 1 p.m. Saturday to trim their roster to 53 players.

Check back soon for updates.

Always blessed! Never stop working. Chapter 1 📝 https://t.co/yZ3JMTdSEt

Not a sports tradition. But most definitely cultural. When my father taught me at 4 years old it wasn’t taught as a “dance” it was taught word for word motion to motion that I honor my ancestors in Polynesia & the lineage that came before me. Luv to see it! https://t.co/bD4m3dM9bC

A new kind of pollution — wildfire smoke — can cause health issues

It’s a domino effect Southern Californians know all too well: When there’s extreme heat, there are fires. And when there are fires, there’s smoke. And when there’s smoke, there is insidious air pollution. The pattern, caused by four fires still burning in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, is producing columns of smoke that collapse, spreading lung-damaging soot for hundreds of miles. After record-breaking heat and explosive fires over the Labor Day weekend, lingering fire clouds lowered temperatures considerably Tuesday, Sept. 8, by blocking the sun. But a moderate Santa Ana wind event starting Tuesday afternoon was expected to send desert winds through mountain canyons and into beach communities through Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service said. The Santa Anas are not good news for firefighters battling the two most troublesome fires, El Dorado near Yucaipa, and Bobcat above Duarte . A red flag warning went into effect late Tuesday. Homes could be th

30 Priceless Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) to Chuckle About

Image
It can come when we least expect it, when we are happily playing our favorite game and diligently working on the report due tomorrow. Then, all of a sudden, when we are just right about to save our progress, the blue demon appears, stares at you straight in the face and tells you that some sort of fatal, non-recoverable error has occur. You can cry, curse or swear, but nothing will change the fact that your hard work has all gone to the drain. Nobody will mistake that mocking blue screen for anything but a big FAIL. Yes, it’s the infamous blue screen of death, or BSoD for short. Oh, how we dread seeing one. Due to its widespread unpopularity, some victims of BSoD have make it a point to capture instances of BSoD for a good laugh (a laugh at their own plight, perhaps?). Others have even photoshopped BSoD into actual images and turned them into jokes. Whatever it is, we all find them hilarious because we’ve experienced them from time to time. To celebrate our contempt for BSoD, we hav
