This Sunday was quite rough for my sports teams. I have decided that I am officially a Chargers fan, even after being a resident of San Diego for only five months. Unlike the Bengals, I've not heard of any Chargers being arrested (especially with their own jersey on, Chris Henry), nor have I heard of anyone on the team demanding a name change (Chad Ochocinco). Further, the bickering on the team, if there is any, does not make sports headlines. These developments are all a big step up from the Bengals. And an even bigger plus…the Chargers' colors are awesome! I will always be a sucker for Carolina blue. Unfortunately their season came to an end this Sunday, as they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game started out well for the Chargers but did not end well.
In another blast to my sports teams, the mighty mighty Tar Heels lost their second game in a row (in the ACC too, adding insult to injury) to Wake Forest. Tyler was something like three for 12 from the field. Ouch.
Though sad, I have to admit I didn't watch the games. It was 78 and sunny in San Diego yesterday. I went for a run in the morning, took a mini-nap on the couch and watched the end of the Eagles/Giants game. After a few minutes of the Chargers/Steelers and catching up with Ma and Pa on the phone, I felt guilty about being inside on such a wonderful day. So I decided to join the San Diego Zoo and go hang out with the animals for a bit. More to come on that in my next post.
