  • wow this really made me drip a tear or two, Ryan's life has just inspired me.....

  • so much respect for this guy. chargers all day!

  • He's like 5th in the NFL in rush yards this season. Not a bust to me.

  • @leroy199512 i agree if he didn't have a injury and fumble problem he could be up next to arian foster, jamaal charles, darren mcfadden, adrian peterson, and michael turner

  • @leroy199512 3at a diiiCC bkuz Ryan Math3ws had gr3at s3asxn in 2010 with injuries n still rushed for over 800 yards meanin h3 had 1,000 fuCCiiin yardzz yah Z33 m3 n besides how many Rbs yuuu nx3 that wxxd hav3 multipl3 iiinjuries n still do great..plzz n3xt watch watchuuu saiii abkout miii iiidxl xxxh n last but l3ast quote>>News: Mathews is among the league leaders for total offense right now, and he is on pace to finish the year as the most productive Chargers running back since 2007

  • GO FIGURE........a fuckin black truck driver fucking a 15 yr old little white girl. He should be thrown in jail, locked away and the key destroyed. Fucking PIECE OF SHIT....not only is he fucking a CHILD...but then does the typical deadbeat dad shit. Fuck that motherfucker

  • XBOX360 is a tag?

  • @77norcross madden i guess

  • @MrDwtime70 I guess so.Speaking of XBOX360 I think ill play mine now :D

  • Comming from a Lions fan, I gotta say, This is Matthews season for the chargers. He played only 2 games this season nd already 240+ yards and 3 TD's !

  • My name is Crono, and I approve this running back.

    Go bolts!

  • 1 person is a rich spoiled bitch

  • PEEP THE HOTTEST CHARGER SONG EVER!!!

  • i love this guy goo chargers

  • good story:) GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude that chargers last game ryan mathews wuz on fire

    hes just getting started...

  • mathews is a great kid and he did very well in fresno st. but as a chargers fan the nfl is a business and mathews has this season and only this season (if there is a season) to prove that he can stay healthy, secure the ball, and rush for a ton of yardage,, if not well well we might see Jordan Todman or Mike Tolbert to be our new starting back

    GO CHARGERS!

  • hip hip sigep

  • Comment removed

  • Just watch what he did at Fresno State and in 2010 with the Chargers. I watched him in 2009 at Fresno State and he was a phenom. He is a great replacement for LT.

  • Lmao @ Raider fans, thats why YOU'RE watching him make millions while you sit on your cheap ass chairs lmao

  • I like his mom. You'd think she would be crying throughout this whole interview but she shows only strength. 

  • come one yall, hes a fresno cat!

    reppin Fresno bby!!!!!

  • I wish I ripped like him.

  • HES A BEAST...THATS Y I GOT HIS NUMBER ....

  • Another great draft by the Chargeless ......

    Look on he bright side if there is a lockout, all Charger fans don't have to worry about another choke job....

  • @rando714 Stupid

  • @rando714 you want a bust didnt Rolando McClains penalties for illegeal hits like take up 3/4 of his rookie years pay so stfu

  • @mcbeastiee Chargers can only wish they LB like McClain....

    Chargers are has beens

  • @rando714 Why would we want someone like him we have stephen cooper brandon siler and now jonas mouton

  • @mcbeastiee Cooper Stiller English...Need i say more...WEAK

  • @rando714 english is an olb who only came in to TEMPORARILY take shawne merrimans role and stephen cooper is a legit linebacker hes in the top 15 by almost all professional analysists for the record rolando is not

  • @mcbeastiee Temp OLB for Merriman...LMAO ....16th temp pick lmao

  • ima get that "mommas boy" tatto

    Ryn Matthews is a straight beast

  • this is an excellent story...this goes beyond footall and stats..."never quit"...RM will be succssful no matter what!!! ( 15 million guaranteed )...the foundation has been laid down and he will prevail...those haters out there...watch him this comin' season...im sure he has hooked up w/ LT n is gettin' great advice...THE BOLTS r gonna b rockin'...garay in the middle of that defense will have a pro bowl year...the addition of sanders is a major major plus..."GO CHARGERS"

  • Very emotional

  • That's a sad story

  • @100268715 No, that's a great story. It's only sad for the people in that situation who don't make it.

  • what a disappointment

  • ha ha espn spelt his name wrong in the title

  • Okay no one can say Matthews is a bust yet not even charger fans can say he's going to be a super star..but he sure does have alot of talent and certainly looks like he can be a star...but none of you hates can say he's a bust just yet and he's a bust cause of injury??? This is football everyone is prone to injury. Go chargers!!!!!!

  • fuck Ryan Mathew's father

  • Next season, when he's healthy and all, will be his time to shine.

  • All you people who have their own teams in the afc west who are talking shit are most likely little kids who never watched their team win that superbowl, boasting as if they where their,gtfo,Its a thing called respect,something that the afc west once had from Dan Fouts to Bo Bo Jackson to fucking John Elway,and lets not forget Len Dawson,and this is what we came too?Maybe when we respect each other like we used too, people will stop overlooking our division.

  • WHY THE FUCK ARE EVEN RAIDER FANS IN HERE! GO SEE VIDEOS ON YOUR LAME ASS TEAM!

  • that story gave me goosebumps.

  • THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE. WHAT A INSPIRATIONAL STORY..

  • hes repin the 559 baby!!!!!!

  • i hate how raider fans call him a bust, wasn't darren mcfadden terrible too

  • @serenadeswordz No you have to look at Jemarcus Russel biggest bust in history

  • @mrman623048 exactly but the point is Mcfadden was hurt and terrible as well, but look at this season, and no doubt Mathews will be the same

  • @mrman623048 or ryan leaf? as i chargers fan it is hard for me to admit that

  • @serenadeswordz how was he a bust he got hurt did u see him the last game he had 3tds

  • @serenadeswordz hes def. not a bust and niether is mcfadden, both havin monster years

  • @serenadeswordz lol DMC is by far the best rb this season but ryan matthews is a great talent

  • @sjsharksfan2012 do you not watch football? this season 1)Arian Foster 2)Matt Forte 3)LeSean McCoy 4)Adrian Peterson 5)Fred Jackson 6)Ray Rice 7)Michael Turner 8)MJD 9)Darren Sproles 10)Frank Gore 11)DMC
  • amazing, i live 30 miles away from him, and watched him play football since high school

  • Another one of A.J. Smith's draft day busts. Mathews is injury prone. He turns the ball over. And when healthy, he hasn't done much on the field. Maybe his sophomore year will be a little better.

  • @HarveyRex23 its his first year, wtf do you expect.

    He has 678 yards this season, third highest among rookie running backs.

    He has more yards than C.j spiller and jahvid best who were two of the top running backs going into the draft. Matthews also had 7 Tds this year which is the highest of any rookie running back this year.

    You dont just go into the nfl and automatically become a superstar it takes time to adjust.

    This video is about how he achieved his dream and overcame adversity,not stats

  • @asianpersuasian323 I don't care if the video is about him wetting his bed. I'll comment whatever the hell I want to comment. And if you don't approve of what I got say about one of A.J. Smith's draft day bust. Then why don't you just go fuck off? As far as his rookie year goes, he's a bust. And there's no way you can have a positive spin on that. He's injury prone & he can't take care of the football. But maybe his second year will be a little better than what he showed this season.

  • @HarveyRex23 not trying to be mean notin,but how many rookies score 3 tds,26 carries,and 120 yards in one game?

  • @MrWittleMan As far as the video goes. It's an amazing story. His mother is an amazing woman as well. And the circumstances Ryan & his mother had to live through is pretty tragic. And believe it, or not. I hope Mathews has a long productive NFL career as a running back. But for people to call me a "hater" because I point out facts about Mathews flaws like him not taking care of the football to him getting hurt. For some reason, people would equate "criticism" to "hatred".

  • @MrWittleMan Ryan Mathews has a lot of potential. He's a physically gifted young kid w/ lots of talent. And I'm rooting for him as an individual player to make it big in the NFL in the many years to come. And the millions and millions of dollars he's making an an NFL player. I'm sure he bought his amazing woman of a mother a new house, a new car, etc. As far as the Chargers goes. I can care less about them. Their ownership, their GM, and their coaching sucks.

  • @HarveyRex23 i don't see how it shows him wetting his bed, and most rookies don't have a break out seaseon their first year

    look at adrian peterson, he can't take care of the ball either, but thats something that can be fixed

    and what mathews did against the broncos..........

  • @HarveyRex23 also, he shared carries with tolbert this year, tolbert had 182 attempts, mathews had 158,

    if he wasn't sharing carries with tolbert, he most likely would have had over 1000 yards so not really a bust

    maybe you should fuck off and look at his stats before calling him a bust.

  • @HarveyRex23 wow...

  • CHOKE JOB ONCE AGAIN!!

  • i loved watching ryan mathews at fresno st. if the chargers make it to playoffs i hope he steps it up so he can show everybody wat hes really made of

  • @JMMEZ3 He's only a rookie this year. Once he starts to figure out NFL defensive patterns and tactics he'll step up and show us what he's really made of.

  • Wow LT man. Willing to give up his number to a kid who looked up to him at an earlier age. Real class act on his part

  • YO HE IS NOW MY FAV RB!

  • i am in no way a charger fan but i hope he does big things:)

  • it would have been nice to have LT as ryan mentor both as chargers

  • Love this guy. I had no idea he had such a heartbreaking life story.

  • @rando714 is just a hater and you need to learn about compassion and not be a total and utter doosh

  • @migitmac21 I will never have compassion for the Chargers, especially when they gave up a lot to get this bust..

  • The chargers should try to trade him for a 7th round pick that will do more..

  • @rando714

    you should go dive in a garbage can and try to get some cans.

  • @DankBombCroosh I like diving into your momma and sucking on her cans....

  • @rando714

    dude raiders suck. they may have beat the chargers twice, but the bolts are still going to the playoffs. better luck next year. hopefully Al Davis dies so you don't have to be so bitter towards a successful team. stay classy.

  • @DankBombCroosh Successful team? Successful in what? No SB...

    How is that success? Stay honest

  • @rando714 Four Consecutive AFC West titles = Success.

    How old are you? Be honest. Judging by the way you're acting you were born into all three super bowls that Faiders have. Which means that you're ultimately bragging about something that you didn't earn. The modern day Raiders are Losers. Nobodies with no future to speak of and a ghetto, trashy, disgusting and unlikeable fanbase to go along with them. You're looked upon by the rest of the league as a joke for a reason.

  • @CrackeTheSkull In any era the Chargers of past or modern day are consider Chokers...

    Just ask any Nfl fan and they will agree. 4 Afc west titles but 0 SB titles to speak of....But when it comes to choking the Chargers do own that title.

  • @rando714 I'd much rather go to the playoffs and lose every year then not make it to that point at all year after year after year, like the Raiders. It's been, what, Seven years now for you without a single playoff appearance? How sad. The fact of the matter is that the modern day Chargers are far more successful than the modern day Raiders and your bitter ass can't handle it. Have fun watching the Chiefs/Chargers in the playoffs again, Loser.

  • @CrackeTheSkull Success is measured in the NFL by SB trophies , go ask Drew Brees...

    Actually the playoff picture is not done yet...On Monday it will be a little clearer on who is in and who is out...

    All that success over the last 5 years have brought 0 SB trophies, if the Chargers would have won ONE it would be a little different. But since history repeats its self once they choked....

  • @rando714 You're clearly one of those Hypocrites who plug their ears with their fingers and shouts "SUPER BOWL RINGS SUPER BOWL RINGS" When your team is losing and mine is winning yet when YOUR team is actually winning you start to act like you cared about the present-day raiders the entire time. Fairweather fan base much?

  • @CrackeTheSkull Your clearly a Charger fan with no hope..Well actually thats all of them

  • @rando714 By the way, ask a non-Raider NFL fan what they think of the "Raider Nation" and 7/10 of them will say that you guys are the biggest bunch of ghetto dirtbags ever. Seriously. Try it. I'll take being "Chokers" over that any day.

    We actually have good-looking women down here in San Diego. Just about every chick in Oakland is fat, ugly, dumb, ghetto, and/or in need of dental correction. Dusty Lombardis are about the only thing Jokelanders have to brag about.

  • @CrackeTheSkull 10 out of 10 NFL fans will agree that Choke Diego is a better name then San Diego.....

    JUST WIN ONE BABY JUST WIN ONE......

  • @rando714 If you think the whole "San Diego Super Choker" 5-year-old-name-calling thing gets under my skin then you are sadly mistaken. I love football, and I legitimately care about my team. But there are things that are 10x more important than it. People who live and die for it have no lives. Like having hot women to fuck in my city. Winning a super bowl pales in comparison to that. Oakland has NO hot women at all. I lived there for 2 years. I'll take good pussy over Lombardi trophies any day.

  • @rando714 or make it to the playoffs for once

    lol i know the chargers lost to tthe raiders twice this year, but once yoou beat us 13 times in a row, you wont look like autistic pieces of shit when you talk shit on the chargers

  • @asianpersuasian323 Raiders actually have a longer winning streak against the Chargeless...

    So i guess i can talk shit on this choke hard team.....Get use to it because its here to stay awhile....

  • @rando714 haha yea maybe 3 decades ago

    damn its been a while since youve been over .500 lol or made the playoffs

  • @asianpersuasian323 The last time we went to the playoffs we went to the SB which is one more than your sorry ass team did over the last 4 years....Chargeless are done get use to this....

  • @rando714 Who gives a fuck really

  • @CrackeTheSkull good job at sounding like a complete moron.

  • @DarkNewAges Faider Fan?

  • @DarkNewAges Care to explain why I sound like a "Complete Moron", before I assume you're one yourself?

  • @CrackeTheSkull ." Like having hot women to fuck in my city. Winning a super bowl pales in comparison to that. Oakland has NO hot women at all. I lived there for 2 years. I'll take good pussy over Lombardi trophies any day."

  • @DarkNewAges Explain to me how that's idiotic. Who values Football over sex?

  • @CrackeTheSkull some people do, not saying i am because i myself dont know; saying oakland has 'NO' hot women, is just ignorant. Maybe to you they werent 'hot', but everyone has their own taste in females. Next time say Most of them Not None ok buddy.

  • @rando714

    well CrackeTheSkull pretty much summed it up pal.

    I doubt an older man isn't going to be trolling on youtube, so obviously you were born into three championships.  If you didn't see the raiders win those SB's it doesn't mean anything.

  • @DankBombCroosh Lets sum this all up... The Chargers have had their run now its over,you must agree that they blow it over the last what 5 years. The Window is about to close for good....As for the Raider SB being the past its called a winning tradition something Charger fans are still trying to find...Hey but better luck next year your use to that...

  • Comment removed

  • @rando714 Sorry, but half a decade without a winning record is not a winning tradition. Quite the opposite, actually. Your Super Bowl glory days are a thing of the past. Your sub-.500 days are your present. The past is ALL you have. You're not making the playoffs this year again and you're owner is such an idiot that there's no way that he's going to form a decent team for you. He'll have to die before you play good football again. That's the reality. That is your "Tradition". That is Jokeland.

  • @CrackeTheSkull The Chargers past and future is to FAIL...Thats your tradition...

  • Ryan Mathews, what an inspirational story about his Mom raising him when they were homeless....wonder what her mom and aunt say about them now? And where's his Dad? This should become a movie....

  • i dont give a fuck what anybody says, hes very talented i went to every fresno state game so dont talk shit hes only a rookie!

  • GOD DAMN!!! 3:48-3:50 Ryan was a big ass baby!!! born to play football

  • if only the chargers use him he wouldn't be a bust on their part not his

  • @tanker58p Bust...Leaf part 2

  • @rando714 like I said he needs to get reps first and that is the coaches fault not his

  • @tanker58p Tank i like your channel but this dude cannot hang on to the ball.. They moved way up in the draft to get him. He has done nothing..

  • @rando714 You can't compare them. First, Leaf was QB not an RB. Second, Leaf had bad character. Third, Mathews is gonna tear it up now that he is healthy.

  • @Eball06 He needs glue so he can hang on to the ball...

  • @rando714 You can't really call sum 1 a bust when the year isn't even over yet. Plenty of players in the NFL don't start off well & develop later, sometimes just the next year. & even tho Ryan isn't playing GREAT he's not playing TERRIBLE either with a 4.4 PCA. yea he does have 3 fumbles & all of them lost but 3 fumbles isn't the worst I've ever seen. My point is comin out of the draft ppl set the expectations TOO high for Ryan jus lik they did with Reggie Bush so dont give up on Ryan jus yet

  • @c1rcaRC93 Bust not woth the Draft pick and the trades to get him..BUST EPIC

  • @rando714 Hahaha.. you should become a comedian, for real..

  • i have a lot of respect for ryan matthews

  • At 52 seconds is a picture of the same youth football team i play for Tehachapi Tomahawks ryan knows my name and stays in contact with my team and family pretty awesome that he played for little ol Tehachapi and is now an NFL running back my head coach taught Ryan

  • wow thats like my life:/

  • hottest nfl mom.....EVER!!!!

  • oh yeah he forgot to say that he got lucky to be 200 pounds plus ...... forgot all bout that tho

  • I'm a Raider fan and I hate but this guy is from my hometown GO BAKERSFIELD!

  • where do da daddy be at

  • damn thats heart felt story, w hen i see people like that in the nfl im glad there in the nfl. the chargers should of kept LT he would of been a great mentor to him and mathews would of probally be a better RB right now

  • Mark my words, this is the offensive rookie of the year right here

  • @boardrattler10 hes not playin too well, fumbles, injuries. no doubt thou..hes ganna be dirty next year.

  • wow man, what a moving story.. just wow i got the chills when she said the part about sleeping in the car and bathing him in the park.. i almost cried.. i hope he does good in the nfl, and this is coming from a raider fan.

  • @DarkNewAges The part about how she chewed up food from the breadline and gave it to him was pretty touching too.. She couldn't even afford to give him Gerber.

  • RM had a bad start in the NFL just like his life. He will shine later on just like his life. Work hard and don't quit!!!

  • only got to play in game with him for a few games but we spent time on the practice field. im proud of him =].
