Bolted!

They gone...geez, the Charger ownership has been threatening to do it...for at least 5 years...finally have done the deed...they are moving their franchise to La La Land...in hopes that the grass is greener up yonder...

This once proud team...the San Diego Chargers...the darlings of the south land...rich in tradition back in the AFL days and the better of it all in the late 90's and the early 00's...with the likes of many stars...Lance Alworth...Dan Fouts...LT...Antonio Gates...Nick Harwick...John Hadl...Paul Lowe...Junior Seau...the list goes on...who were part of a great thing...until...

The ownership altered things...Alex Spanos and now his offspring...blatant mismanagement at the top of the list...as the team began it's extreme fall from grace...his son, Dean, has shouldered most of the blame...deservedly...the end has been awful...the past season filled with embarrassing losses...but worse, the ploy of the bosses that they were staying...the public didn't buy it...and sold their tix to any team coming to this grand land to play...often seemed like a home game for the visitor...

A decade ago when we arrived in San Diego...the Bolts were THE thing around here...you couldn't get a ticket to the game...and then...the ugly ownership changed all that...blew apart what was such a cherished part of this area...and now...off they go...taking their beat up ball and vacating...to, get this, a 30,000 seat stadium...in the interim....ha ha...FOX LA did a poll...what % of the public wanted that franchise in LA?...82% said NO!!!!...another wise decision Spanos Fam...

So...we are delegated to a one horse town...the Padres...and are waiting for an NFL team that wants to move to this bloody 70* degree year round climate...just itching to root for a properly run team that needs a change...ha ha...here's hoping that the Spanos lose their ass....and we get a good un...Jaguars, are you interested?...and...this from the web net...the new Charger logo...ha ha

Other stuff...

Have to start with the bum thumb...finally got to see the ortho Doc...it is a 'trigger thumb' like I thought...had a decent idea what he would do...after studying it on the web net...two possible solutions...cortisone shots...that would have a 70% chance of fixing it...he recommended it...and if that doesn't do the job...an op on it...in the office...hmmm...well, I took the shots...egads, hurt like hell...but, the Horse did NOT pass out...this morning?...already better...he said I'd know in a couple of days...fingers crossed...

PDX...what the heck?...dominated the Cavs from the get go...the World Champs!...and easily took it to the visitors...hey, Cleve is in a 'on the road' set of games...got beat by the Jazz the nite before...there you go, an excuse...is there promise for the Blazers?...hmmm...hey, the Cavs have the Kings and the Warriors next...bet, they'll play a bit better...a lot better...

Planned protests are in the works this next week...against the Prez-Elect...the "stars" from Hollywood are behind some of it...their rationale?...they needed to be doing all this prior to the election...I can't see any good out of it...unless, you want to divide the country as much as you can...think he is gonna resign?...hey, I voted Demo, too...but, we have to get on with it...do as much as we can to make it good...not bad...I'll bet they are making loads of $ in their stocks...

I know keep drilling this through your brain...but, I just don't see any merit in the planned protests...how does this make our country better?...I understand their frustrations...I get that...but...let's see what the product is...

You know, I am a bit serious about the religion issue...shhhh, don't tell anyone...dang, that Nashville scene is more and more appealing to moi....shhhh....

Hey, for what reason is this?...the stock market has been a huge plus...why?...look at your numbers, and I bet you are feeling good about 'em...why?...

Obamacare...here's an item that the Hollywood 1% don't fret over...just may get repealed...hmmm...what takes it's place?...going back to the free enterprise system?...

So what's the Horse listening to this fine am?...this is going back into time...Barbara Mason...what?..."Yes I'm Ready"...soothing soulful and wonderful...and...this Beats wireless is absolutely great...

This damn Starbucks 'House Blend' coffee no bueno....I like it rich and dark...this is not...

I got this text from one of my buds, to watch out for 'fake news'...shoot, that's all there is on the web net...

The Horse is actually excited about the upcoming Pack and Cowboys game...glad I'm not there...them 'Boys don't like northerners much...wait, I'm from SoCal...OK, then...

Be good today...
