America's Finest City (Still)

For a few minutes there in overtime - maybe for the first time this whole season - I thought, "Damn, they're gonna pull this off." This was the Chargers season that snuck up on you. This was the team that was supposed to go 0-16. San Diego sports fans get excited about once every five or ten years. That's not to excuse the utter lack of interest otherwise. I mean, there's a good reason they're called "fair weather" fans. What the hell else are you going to do in Green Bay or Pittsburgh this time of year? Sports is not religion in SoCal; it doesn't have to be. It is but one diversion in a kaleidoscope of paradise. So, sure I'm disappointed today; it's unfortunate that the kid kicker choked, but at least he doesn't have to worry about joining WitSec. This time next week, San Diego fan won't even remember his name. (We're kind of like goldfish that way.)
