There are rotisserie heroes and fantasy goats. But some performances are so ugly, egregious or plain perplexing that it begs the refrain: What the F--k! Here is Update’s seriously twisted moment this week.

POSTED 1-15-07

What in the name of Carmen San Diego happened to the Chargers? Was it the Curse of Schottenheimer or simply the devil's fiddler that did in the AFC's best team in the division playoffs? There are no shortage of goats that allowed the New England Patriots to score 11 points in the final 4:36 to rally for a 24-21 victory. Was it Eric Parker, whose muffed punt that New England recovered at the San Diego 31 led to a third-quarter field goal? That same drive was kept alive by an unnecessary roughness penalty by corner Drayton Florence. Or is the ultimate goat safety Marlon McCree after fumbling away his drive-stopping interception at the San Diego 32 with 6:16 left? The Patriots later scored. Let's not forget that Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer is 5-13 all-time in the playoffs. Maybe we need to write this one off as another Tom Brady miracle. The Patriots quarterback owns 24 fourth-quarter comebacks and is 12-1 in the postseason. Pact with the devil? WTF!
