White trash bags were everywhere, on the floor and on seats, stuffed full of shirts, shoes,and the contents of lockers emptied on Sunday by players who won't need those lockers again until next season.
The day after the Chargers coughed up a 27-point lead and lost to Jacksonville in the AFC wild-card round was a day of packing and reckoning, for coming to terms with a loss that was inexplicable but also very much in character for a franchise that has become expert at falling painfully just short of success.
"I mean, you're always gonna feel it. You're not really going to be over it," defensive end Morgan Fox said in the locker room of the team's Costa Mesa practice facility. "It's something we have to wear for the rest of our lives, and it's always going to get brought up."
