The San Diego Chargers eventually decided to get rid of last year’s seventh-round pick from LSU, wide receiver Demetrious Byrd, who spent his rookie season in Chargers jersey without playing any game because of the serious injuries he suffered in a horrific car crash prior to the draft.
It was rendered that Byrd will be unable to play football anymore, but the Chargers still drafted him.
"Despite the injuries, the Chargers selected him and generously extended him a contract for the season," the Chargers said in a statement.
However, a lot of people guess that Byrd was released possibly because of shenanigans on his Twitter account, including this comment:
"Hey twitt fam is it gay to like justin bieber? Cuz I’m not gay but I’m feelin dat baby sng dat shit rockin right now on my cd also."
Byrd refused to admit that he was cut because of his comments on twitter but because he was healthy enough to be released without any further financial obligations. Thanking Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, he added that he would go back to school to complete the 21 remaining credit hours for his degree requirements.

Giants may regret trading Rivers to Chargers
Eli Manning did not work well in leading the New York Giants to win again. The quarterback the Giants thought expendable and traded to the San Diego Chargers in 2004 proved himself to be the very one that could beat Eli Manning.
The first meeting between Philip River, now wearing Chargers jersey, and Eli Manning ended with the Chargers 21-20 victory over the Giants. I believe Manning had done his best, but Rivers was so strong that he could always keep Chargers’ lead in the game. He hit Kris Wilson on a 2-yarder in the third to give San Diego a 14-7 lead, and capped an 80-yard drive with an 18-yard pass to Vincent Jackson with 21 seconds to play and sealed the Chargers’ victory.
It was the Giants fourth straight loss of the season. The team had to head into their bye week at 5-4 and does not any way look like a playoff team. Starting the season with five consecutive wins, the Giants seemed to be stunned by the New Orleans’ 48-27 victory over them too much to brace themselves for the remaining season.

Chargers WR Davis was inactive Sunday with flu
The San Diego Chargers wide receiver Buster Davis (not the linebacker in Chicago Bears jersey) was not in his Chargers jersey on Sunday as the team listed him as inactive due to flu, which also hit several other Chargers.
Along with Davis, four other Chargers were also inactive Sunday, including linebacker Kevin Burnett, safety C.J. Spillman, center Nick Hardwick and guard Tyronne Green. However the Chargers still managed to win the Kansas City Chiefs by 37-7 as they still have big-name running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Jacob Hester, as well as linebacker Jyles Tucker after the three missed Thursday practice with flu. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was also in his uniform even after injuring his knee in practice on Thursday.
Their opponent Chiefs also had some players inactive on Sunday: a left ankle injury kept tackle Branden Albert out for his second straight game; receiver Bobby Engram and safety Jarrad Page were also inactive.

Chargers could have another exhibition blacked out
The San Diego Chargers may have felt the pressure of economy recession, with Friday night’s preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers being the second blacked out exhibition since 2006.
The first one was the exhibition opener against the Seattle Seahawks with some 6,000 general-admission tickets remaining unsold. And there are about 7,000 general-admission tickets for Friday exhibition remaining unsold Tuesday, more than 72 hours prior to the kickoff, triggering the black-out on local TV.
What is more, the team has also warned fans that there could be regular-season blackouts, which had not happened since 2004. According to the team’s chief operating officer, not a single regular-season game has been close to being sold out, including the season home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 20.
