SAN DIEGO -- Its been a lost season for the San Diego Chargers, on the field, in the trainers room and at the ballot box.The Chargers have their bye this weekend, allowing them to rest up and perhaps ponder the train wreck of a year theyve had so far.Theres a lot to take in, even if 4-6 doesnt seem so terrible compared to San Franciscos 1-9 or Clevelands 0-10.Theyve blown fourth-quarter leads at a dizzying pace and lost numerous players to season-ending injuries, including wide receivers Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson; running back Danny Woodhead; linebacker Manti Teo; cornerback Jason Verrett; and nose tackle Brandon Mebane.The Chargers were dispatched last Sunday by a winning 60-yard pick-6 with 61 seconds left by Miamis Kiko Alonso, the fourth interception of Philip Rivers in the fourth quarter.Safety Darrell Stuckey equated that loss with taking a shot under the chin.Has he ever seen a season like this?Yeah, Ive been here seven years. Of course I have, Stuckey said.Hes got a point.Barring a stunning turnaround, the Chargers will miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons under coach Mike McCoy and for the sixth time in seven seasons overall. Theyve lost 18 of their last 26 games. Their next game is at Houston on Nov. 27, daunting in the sense that the Chargers have lost 12 of their last 14 road games.Despite all that, McCoy gave the Chargers the whole week off. Then again, they probably needed to get away from it all.The Chargers are buried in last place in the AFC West, the NFLs toughest division. Theyve split with the Denver Broncos but lost on the road to Kansas City and Oakland. Theyll host the Raiders on Dec. 18 and the Chiefs on New Years Day, which could be their last-ever game in San Diego if chairman Dean Spanos decides to move to Los Angeles, still an option for the franchise.Well play them all, Rivers said. Were going to play all six of them and see what happens. Obviously, theres still a lot of football left.The Chargers had hoped to get back to .500 by the bye, but the 31-24 loss to Miami prevented that.Its already going to be a tough road and this makes it even tougher, Rivers said after that loss. But well heal up a bit, get a few guys back and fight like crazy down the stretch.Theres turmoil off the field, too.Voters rejected Spanos ballot measure for a new stadium by a resounding 57 percent to 43 percent. Spanos was asking voters to approve a $1.15 billion subsidy in the form of an increase in the hotel occupancy tax to help fund a stadium and convention center annex downtown to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley. While campaigning for the stadium, Spanos surrogates werent shy about reminding voters about the teams option to move to L.A.Spanos said hell take his time deciding the teams future and wont announce any decisions before the season ends. His options include negotiating a new deal with Mayor Kevin Faulconer or moving to Los Angeles to join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019. That was his consolation prize after fellow NFL owners defeated his plan to join with the Raiders to build a stadium in the L.A. suburb of Carson.One bright spot for the Chargers is running back Melvin Gordon, who has bounced back nicely from his miserable rookie season. Hes scored 11 touchdowns, nine rushing, and is third in the NFL with 838 yards. He had a career-high 196 yards rushing in a win against Tennessee two weeks ago, plus four catches for 65 yards.Rookie Joey Bosa had four sacks in his first four games. After missing all of training camp in a nasty contract squabble, he injured a hamstring and missed the first four games.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Yeezy 350 Australia .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open.

Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona.Melbourne Victory recruit Max Beister will debut for his new A-League club against Western Sydney after an 11th-hour clearance of his working visa.The German youth international has been in Australia for almost three weeks, working on his fitness as he awaited the arrival of all-important paperwork.Coach Kevin Muscat has been patiently waiting for the news, and delighted in telling his new forward on Friday morning when the news finally arrived.We got an email nice and early. Hes got a spring in his step and were all looking forward to it, he said.The clearance arrives in the nick of time.Not only is the 26-year-old ready and raring to go for Saturday nights game, theres an obvious vacancy in the forward line with Marco Rojas away on international duty with New Zealand.But Muscat wont rush the loanee into the first-team, declaring it would be unrealistic and irresponsible.Weve been planning all week without him (but) hell certainly come into contention, he said.Weve got to a point now where he can be thrown in and add value.He can play anywhere in that front third of the park.Rojas absence and Muscats decision to delay Beisters introduction means either Fahid Ben Khalfallah or Jai Ingham are likely to claim the vacant winger role against the Wanderers.Captain Carl Valeri is also fit enough to resume, with Muscat saying his title-winning skipper was touch and go for last week and would be able to see out the match in centtral midfield.ddddddddddddThe Wanderers arrive in Melbourne in a similar position to Victory, the sides are fifth and sixth in the table and yet to hit full stride after a month of competition.The winner of the marquee match will consolidate their top-six place, but the loser could find themselves out of the finals positions at the end of the weekend.To that end, fan support will be crucial but Muscat dismissed the suggestion that Victory could be out-sung at Etihad Stadium.The clubs biggest active supporter group, the Northern Terrace, has disbanded in the face of increased security measures, leaving Victory short of full voice.Muscat said the vocal visiting Wanderers supporters wouldnt be allowed to reverberate around the Docklands venue.I dont think thats going to happen, he said.Theres no love lost between the two teams. Both have got a massive fan base.Weve had some good encounters, Im more than sure that will continue.STATS THAT MATTER* Victory hasnt lost to Tony Popovics side in Melbourne since February 2013, and has won five of their last seven games overall to the Wanderers.* Western Sydney could achieve a club record fourth-straight draw should the two teams cancel each other out.* Dimas has made more passes than any other player this season - 364 at a completion rate of 86 per cent.
