"In June, Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson tried to have a judge throw out blood-alcohol evidence against him stemming from his arrest on a drunken-driving charge Jan. 6. San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Bashant rejected that request, leading Jackson to appeal her ruling in July. Jackson's appeal attempt delayed the case until recently, when the appeal attempt was dismissed as being "premature." Now Jackson is back to square one in court. He can choose to plead guilty to a charge or head toward trial. Either way, his attorney, Cole Casey, said Jackson won't have to deal with it until after the Chargers season. "I'm just going to continue it until after the season is over," Casey ..."

After the pass, beautifully thrown and expertly defended, with Cromartie reaching in at the last second, both players went to the ground. Jackson stayed down for several seconds before getting up and immediately walking to the training room."

"The only words out of Vincent Jackson's mouth, though few in number, proved succinct enough. Without ever hearing the question, he pretty much summed up his day as a Chargers wide receiver. "Not today," said Jackson, declining to be interviewed, then dressing and departing. "Got nothing for you, buddy. Nada." True enough. Truer words, never spoken. Indeed, nothing caught, nothing gained. Ostensibly, Jackson is the deep threat of the Chargers offense, or the closest thing to it. He has a considerable size advantage on defensive backs, particularly those as small as the Atlanta Falcons have, but Jackson didn't catch a ball in bounds Sunday. The Chargers had all sorts of problems on ..."
