2017. What was once unthinkable has become reality. The San Diego Chargers are now the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers’ move is the NFL’s grandest experiment yet.

Chapter 5 - The Definition of Insanity

Episode 5

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 • Duration 01:06:09

January 2015. New San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer triumphantly declared in his first State of the City address that he would be assembling a group of civic leaders to “keep the Chargers in San Diego where they belong.” But the Chargers were no longer the only team eyeing a move to Los Angeles. The Rams and Raiders, former Angelenos themselves, were also mulling a move back. This episode chronicles the final two years of the San Diego Chargers. When the city was confronted with the errors of its past, the political and financial realities of its present, and the great unknown of its future, and the team was faced with its ultimate choice.

Chapter 4 - Masters of Disaster

Episode 4

Tuesday, March 23, 2021 • Duration 01:07:34

By the start of the 21st century, the Chargers franchise was in shambles. They were the worst team in football, playing in an aging and increasingly obsolete stadium. But change was coming. On the field, the organization underwent one of the most successful rebuilds ever accomplished in football, producing a dominant team that won five AFC West titles in six years. Off the field, the Chargers hired longtime political messaging wiz Mark Fabiani to get a stadium deal done. What could possibly go wrong?

As the nineties came to a close, two parallel crises were slowly building in San Diego.
