RIP Don Coryell

Today the Charger family lost one of if not the greatest San Diego Chargers Coach. He was one of the most influential NFL coaches of his time, and although he never brought one a Super Bowl ring, his coaching style and strategies are used by many NFL today. Don Coryell (October 17, 1924 – July [...]

Padres – 32 games In

So after 32 games the MLB season is about a fifth of the way through and the San Diego Padres are in a place where they ey and the rest of the general population never expected them to be, in First Place. Are the Padres that good or is the division that bad? Padres ARE [...]

Typical Dodger Fans

Padres Spring Training Opens Tomorrow

Padres Spring Training Opens tomorrow and another batch of walk on’s, AAA, AA, and past professionals attempt to make the Opening Day roster.

NFL Wildcard Weekend…

Still raiding the Nation

My favorite week for football…. IT’S RAIDER WEEK! With 12 wins in a row and going for #13, the Raider faithful don’t seem to show up in the numbers they used to. Perhaps its all the Raider fans in LA realizing they still don’t have a professional team, and traded their silver and black in [...]

Its Time for Chargers Football

Let’s face it the Padres haven’t given us San Diegans much of an excuse to support and go see them. Hopefully next season. But the bolts first game is on Monday night against the Raiders and I’m ready for some NFL football. To top it off the AFL and the Chargers are celebrating their 50th [...]
