Kam Saran filed the lawsuit in San Diego Superior Court in November. The suit says Phillips struck or dropped the bottle on Saran’s head at Bar West. Saran, then 24, suffered a laceration and closed-head injury as a result, according to the suit. Phillips’ attorney responded to the suit in December, denying all allegations. San Diego police investigated the Nov. 23, 2009, incident when it occurred but made no arrests. Source: The Redzone (http://theredzone.org/BlogDescription.aspx?EntryID=23629)

When you look at his production, his average per catch separates him from a lot of guys. “ Source: National Football Post (http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/NFP-Sunday-Blitz-3115.html)

Smith is now “comfortable” exploring a long-term deal for Vincent Jackson, the Chargers wide receiver said he has yet to speak to Smith himself. “There hasn’t been any communication as far as contracts go,” Jackson said following Wednesday’s Pro Bowl practice. “If that’s their feeling, that’s great. I would like to stay in San Diego. Obviously, that’s my home, that’s where I was drafted. I’ve got some good guys around me – Philip Rivers (Antonio) Gates, Ryan Mathews. It would be a great place for me to stay, so we’ll see if that works out.” Jackson, who earned $11.4 million this past season as the team’s franchise player, said he’d prefer to avoid the tag again. “That’s something that’s out of my control,” he said. “I can’t concern myself with how that goes. I’d love to have a long-term deal just to have security of where you’re going to be for a while. That’s a decision that they have to make.” Source: NFL.com (http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/01/25/jackson-no-word-from-chargers-on-new-deal/)

Smith has developed a reputation for not speaking with the media and this has created a perception that he is standoffish. “They think (Smith) is a mean guy,” owner and team president Dean Spanos said. “He really is not. . . I didn’t hire him for his people skills.” Spanos went on to say Smith will do a better job of speaking to the media in the near future.

Shelmon, who spent 10 seasons with San Diego and 21 in the NFL, was the longest-tenured assistant coach along with current defensive coordinator John Pagano. The offensive coordinator from 2007-2011, Shelmon expects to pursue other things in the future and looks forward to traveling with his wife Nancy. The two plan to visit Istanbul this summer and take a three-week trip to South Africa in December. “I’m just done,” said Shelmon, who coached football for a combined 37 years. “You know when it’s time. It’s time for me to go and do some other things with my life.” Among the Chargers’ accomplishments with Shelmon as coordinator, the Bolts led the NFL in total offense, average yards per play and average yards per pass in 2010 and averaged at least 25 points a game for eight consecutive seasons, a first for any franchise in NFL history.

Smith and Norv Turner, Chargers owner Dean Spanos did a lot of research and kicked a lot of tires around the league. He decided to maintain the status quo for a variety of reasons. The Chargers believe they have one more good year left with their core group of players. It made sense, in terms of maximizing opportunity, to keep that core group with the general manager and coach who have a vested interest in them. This also is a big year for the Chargers in their stadium quest, and Spanos wants to be able to focus on that as much as need be.
