Carson Palmer could get back at Turner in the offseason by putting a Raiders sticker on Turner's car, or maybe paint his mailbox silver and black. This long, bitter rivalry has seen many things over the years, from the Holy Roller to brawls in the stands to LaDainian Tomlin- son tormenting the Black Hole. But a neighborly touch? It'll have one Thursday night at Qualcomm Stadium thanks to Palmer getting jolted out of his semi-retirement in Southern Cal- ifornia via a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Raiders. "We're not very far from each other," Turner said. "They can hear our dogs bark and I can every once in a while hear their kids either laughing or crying." After promising starts, the Raiders and Chargers are tied at 4-4 with Kansas City atop the mediocre AFC West. The Raiders are 0-2 since getting Palmer, who will be making his second start and third appear- ance. The Chargers have lost three straight after the fastest start in Turner's five-year tenure with San Diego. After Thursday night, either Turner or Palmer will have brag- ging rights in their seaside burg. However, those could ultimately go to another Del Mar resident, Courtesy photos The Red Bluff Bass Anglers held a club bass tournament on Shasta Lake on October 30. Fishing conditions were tough but Ted Smith (left) was able to catch a limit of spotted bass and take first place. Doug Stewart (right) caught a 2.5-pound spot to take the big fish of the tournament. Anyone interested in joining the club can call 527-1622 or 527-4472. Neighbors Palmer, Turner go at it Thursday night Aaron Rodgers, whose undefeat- ed Packers beat the Chargers 45- 38 on Sunday and face the Raiders on Dec. 11 in Green Bay. Then again, Palmer could yell, "Dude, mow my lawn," at Turner at any point Thursday night, since he led the lowly Bengals to a shocking victory in December that crushed the Chargers' playoffs hopes. Palmer threw four TD passes that day, including one that led Turner to turn to then-defensive coordina- tor Ron Rivera and say, "What happened?" Palmer, though, has been any- thing but sharp with the Silver and Black, throwing three inter- ceptions in each of his last two games. San Diego's Philip Rivers has had a shocking run of turnovers that now totals an NFL-high 17, including 14 inter- ceptions. "It's a great opportunity for somebody this Thursday," Palmer said. "It's great to be in the thick of it, and be in the hunt, and our team understands where we are and the opportunity that is in front of us. We expect to go out and play good football." That would be a change for both teams. The Raiders became desper- ate for a quarterback after Jason Campbell broke his collarbone during a win over the Browns. They lost badly to division rivals Kansas City and Denver after getting Palmer, who was sitting out after demanding a trade from Cincinnati. "In my mind, I was semi- retired," Palmer said. "I was still working out. I was only throwing a couple times a week, but I was hanging out with the family a lot, running around doing kind of VOLLEYBALL Thursday 7 p.m. Bulldogs Los Molinos Pierce Bears #6 Los Molinos: 24-15-5; beat Esparto in first round #3 Pierce: 23-4; 8-2, second in Sacramento Valley; first round bye Previous Meeting The teams met early in the season on Sept. 20. Los Molinos won the first game 25-18, but Pierce came back for the next three 25-21, 25-20 and 25-21. Scouting Report Pierce has some strong players. Sara Nunez leads the section in blocks at 1.3 per game. Alison Ornbaun is second in the section in assists per game. She'll pri- marily go to Molly Geyer (3.1 kills per game) and Trisha Abele (2.3). Nunez will also factor. Madison Leighty is the defensive specialist. While Pierce has looked strong this season, Los Molinos should take some confidence with them to Arbuckle after hanging with the Lady Bears earlier in the year. The young Lady Bulldogs will grow up fast with this road test, which will at the very least give them experience for next season. honey-do things around the house that I hadn't gotten done. I wasn't really sure. It was tough to focus on working out and training when you think it's kind of for nothing, because I thought I might not be playing this year. So it was just a weird time." Coach Hue Jackson estimates that Palmer has grasped about 70 percent of the playbook. "I feel like I've been cram- ming for a final exam for about three weeks now," Palmer said. "It's been a ton of info in a short amount of time and really trying to kind of weed through some things and figure out what fits me best and our team best. Try- ing to figure out how to exploit my strengths and the guys around me, (their) strengths. It's been fun. It's been a huge chal- lenge, and right now I'm really starting to feel comfortable and good in what we're doing." Center Samson Satele has another take on it. "I am mad. The team is mad. We got our butts whipped last two games, gave away the last one ... but it should come out fine if we win this next one," he said. And then there are the bum- bling Chargers, who looked sharp at times in the loss to the Packers, only to be undone by Rivers' three interceptions. Two were returned for touchdowns and the third killed their final drive. The Chargers are still smart- ing from being swept by the Raiders last year, including a punishing 28-13 loss on Dec. 5 Raiders Oakland San Diego Chargers OAKLAND (4-4) at SAN DIEGO (4-4) OPENING LINE — Chargers by 7 2011 RECORD VS.

Chargers have lost three straight after a 4-1 start, their fastest in coach Norv Turner's five seasons. ... Turner was fired after coaching Raiders from 2004-05. ... Chargers QB Philip Rivers has 14 INTs and 17 turnovers, both NFL highs. ... New Raiders QB Carson Palmer has thrown three interceptions in each of his first two games. ... In three starts vs. Chargers, Palmer has completed 74 of 103 passes (71.8 percent) for 1,023 yards and nine TDs vs. one pick- off, and 128.4 rating. He had career-high 440 yards against San Diego on Nov. 12, 2006. ... Both teams are expected to miss key players. Chargers will be without LG Kris Dielman, who hasn't been cleared since sustaining a concussion against the New York Jets on Oct. 23, and are likely to be without OLB Shaun Phillips (foot) and WR Malcom Floyd (hip). RB Ryan Mathews, who missed Green Bay game with groin injury, is expected to return. ... Raiders RB Darren McFadden (sprained right foot) hasn't practiced since getting injured Oct. 23 and is unlikely to play. Cornerback Chris Johnson (groin, hamstring) also is expected to sit out. ... McFadden had 97 of Raiders' 251 yards rushing in 28-13 Raiders win at San Diego on Dec. 5. in which Oakland ran for 251 yards. "We lost both of them last year and obviously that had a big impact on us not making the postseason. So it's a huge game for both teams," Rivers said. Prior to the Green Bay loss, the Chargers had meltdowns at Kansas City and the New York Jets. "Regardless of what happened thus far, good or bad, we can't change it," Rivers said. "We've got an eight-game season that starts Thursday night. There's three teams deadlocked in the division and Denver's spotting us all a game. They're right there in the thick of it. All four teams are alive. We've got eight to go. We'll see what happens." If the Chargers think their injury situation is bad, the Raiders had 11 players miss practice Tuesday. Darren McFadden, who gained 97 yards in the game at San Diego in December, hasn't practiced since spraining his right foot Oct. 23 and is unlikely to play, as is cornerback Chris Johnson (groin, hamstring). The Chargers will be without LG Kris Dielman (concussion) for the third straight game. Out- side linebacker Shaun Phillips (foot) is expected to miss his third straight game while wide- out Malcom Floyd (hip) could miss his second. Oft-injured run- ning back Ryan Mathews is expected to be back after missing the Green Bay game with groin injury.
