Now we have "Stick 'Em Gate" according to FOX...Chargers being investigated for using Stick 'Em against the Broncos. Didn't realize Rivers threw so hard that his receivers can't catch it.

Because of "Watergate" (the Watergate Hotel).

Learn your American history.

It was one of the biggest scandals in American History, so, naturally, every scandal after that will be a play on words.

The Chargers look like they just jacked off an elephant.

its become synonymous with a scandal, would you rather people just say "Bounty Scandal" you have to put something in there that indicates it is an issue.
