Spagnuolo has a relationship with Rams general manager Billy Devaney, having worked as a scout with the San Diego Chargers in 1993 when Devaney was the team's director of player personnel. The two were also both employed by the Washington Redskins during the 1983 season. The highly-regarded Spagnuolo had his choices of possible landing spots reduced by one on Monday, wh |

| etwork) - In the end, 24 points was not enough. The ability to put up that point total on the stalwart Pittsburgh Steelers defense - which had allowed more than 13 points just once in its previous seven contests - would have been thought to give the San Diego Chargers an excellent opportunity to win their AFC Divisional Round matchup at Heinz Field on Sunday. After all, the Steelers had won an 11-10 bloodbath versus the Chargers just seven weeks prior, and Pittsburgh's 2008 edition had not been known to put up po |

Even if head coach Tony Dungy steps down, the Colts will have plenty of steam left from their impressive 2008 run that came to a screeching halt with last Saturday's 23-17 overtime loss to the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. Why wouldn't Dungy want to return after the club ripped off nine straight regular-season wins to finish 12-4 and capture a playoff berth for a seventh consecutive year? Is he possibly burned out?
