NFL’s MVP practices and plays often at Maderas G.C. in San Diego.

Handicaps were determined in a number of ways, but our first reference was the U.S. Golf Association’s Golf Handicap and Information Network. Additionally, we relied upon information from state associations, the athletes, pros at their clubs and friends who have played with them. Handicaps without decimal points are unofficial estimates.

Holdout?

A Chargers Pro Bowler has signed with infamous agent Drew Rosenhaus and is not attending the team's offseason workouts. Fortunately for the Chargers, it's not Antonio Gates or LaDainian Tomlinson but special teamer Hanik Milligan.

And the Chargers are trying to trade Milligan anyway, both Rosenhaus and Smith confirmed yesterday.

Milligan has been with the Chargers for three seasons. He spent his rookie year on injured reserve and has played just a handful of plays at safety the past two seasons.

On the trading block?

According to ESPN’s John Clayton, the Chargers may not be done trading. Two more players are on block although nothing might not happen as quickly as the Davis deal with the 49ers. The Chargers are shopping linebacker Donnie Edwards and safety Hanik Milligan.

Davis to 49ers for Woods

The Chargers and San Francisco 49ers swapped disappointing former first-round draft picks on Wednesday, with San Diego getting wide receiver Rashaun Woods in exchange for cornerback Sammy Davis.
