The San Diego Chargers 1964 Highlight Film

[@shimshonbendan8730]

I was an NFL guy back in the 50s and 60s, but there was one team from the AFL that I liked, and that was the Chargers. They played a wide open game and was more exciting that what was often seen in the NFL. As I look back on it now, the AFL was near parity with the NFL in 1965 and I regret not having paid more attention to the league back then.

Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium was the most disliked stadium in the NFL-AFL-it was in a very bad part of Buffalo and often visiting teams would have eggs and rocks thrown at their buses. Otis Taylor WR for the Kansas City Chiefs noted in his book "The Need to Win" that after a game at the stadium players would run off the field as quickly as possible because if you weren't one of the first players to make it to the locker room all the hot water would run out

13:38 the Big Cat with a sack. The guy was a space eater with long arms and strong as all get out.

After the Chargers won the 1963 AFL Championship, their owner issued a challenge to the NFL Champion Chicago Bears to play a game to decide who was the better team. The Bears declined!

John Hadl was as good as any QB the NFL had in 64

The Chargers got into the AFL Championship game through the backdoor with an 8-5-1 regular season record

2:40 What use to be considered a gold hit.

Al Davis copied the 1960 original Los Angeles Chargers shield logo when Al Davis left the Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff in 1962 to become the Oakland Raiders manager in 1963 he then added the original Los Angeles Chargers shield logo to the Oakland Raiders pirate logo on 1963 Coincidentally The Oakland Raiders pirate logo didn’t have the shield logo originally birth year of 1960-1962 until Al Davis joined the Raiders on 1963 then coincidentally added the shield to the pirate logo. Raiders Copy cat shield logo but the true original L.A. logo is the 1960 Los Angeles Chargers battle horse shield logo. Da Da Da Da Charge!!! ⚡️🐴 🏈

I remember in a documentary film on the AFL that when the Oakland was awarded a franchise they considered calling it the "Senor's/in addition players on the team (including Jim Otto-who was an original member of the Raiders) were expected in the offseason to go door to door in the Bay area to try and sell season tickets--at one point Al Davis was so "cash trapped" that the team almost folded--it turned out that Ralph Wilson (who owned the Bills) lent Mr. Davis $400K to pay salaries/administrative costs etc.

Los Angeles Chargers Won 52-28 vs the Oakland Raiders in 1960 at the Los Angeles memorial coliseum 1960... Then again beat the Oakland Raiders at Candlestick stadium in San Francisco 1960 Los Angeles Chargers 41 Oakland Raiders 17

The Chargers name and logo was created originated in Los Angeles 1960 L.A. memorial Coliseum ⚡️🐴 🏈 The name originated from the USC football games then musician and team kicker Tommy Trojan played and helped inspire then owner Barron Hilton when Hilton attended the USC football games at the LA Coliseum every time Tommy would run out to the field to attempt the extra point kick the USC fans would yell out Tommy’s Charge! Chant he created as a musician “Da Da Da Da Trojan Warriors Charge!! So that’s we’re R.I.P Barron Hilton then owner got inspired for the name from that Da Da Da Charge! Chant The proof is in the Battle Horse logo charging into battle hence the battle horse inside the original L.A Chargers 1960 shield logo very similar to a USC Trojan warrior Charging into battle with a Sword and shield. The lightning bolt came from Barron Hilton liking the Air Force college team logo. Till this day that Charge! Chant is heard at the games and through out other sporting events. Da Da Da Da Charge! ⚡️🐴 🏈 The Chargers r the true original L.A. born team playing for the original birthplace and not too many teams can claim that fact! The Rams were born in Cleveland. The Raiders were born in Oakland. and that’s a fact those other teams can’t ever claim. And also the Chargers r also the true Southern California team they have never left Southern California unlike the Rams born in Cleveland and played in St.Loius and the Raiders born in Oakland and play in Las Vegas Nevada.

The City of San Diego voted against keeping their Chargers in 2016 during the Trump wave election. The people of San Diego overwhelmingly voted against a hotel tax that led to the Chargers moving to L.A.

[@jckyhn7329]

Hotel tax? That's some thick irony since Barron Hilton was their first owner.
