My whole week was freezing my ass off selling falafels and cars and people going by yelling "Go Chargers!" Two Pat yelps all week. OK, I'm on the left coast. But far from SD. Lotsa Bolt fans. And then it seems most other teams fans are rootin' for the Bolts to stop the machine. It is a huge task to do this two weeks in a row. But if any team can do it, this Charger squad is it. I will never guarantee anything in this. Just my loyalty to believe it can be done. And some elements are coming into play for both the AFC & NFC Championships. Extreme weather?
I look for all what I would consider "favorable" conditions for San Diego. Stiff cold wind and snow? Good. This team has players from all over the country. And cold and wind favors the run. And that we got. Charger homie hear singing to Steve Perry's tied belly shirt rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" I'm holdin' on to that Indy feelin'! Hopefully we won't be as sensitive as Steve...and deliver the hammer to New England!
You wanna little hex action too? The Chargers honorary captain for the game is none other than Stan "The Man" Humphries. Like I said, look for anything to motivate. Stan knows what it is all about. To get no respect. And then stun em!
Just heard another ESPN East coast blow hard call it a Patriot blow out. And we will all get to see what all of America wants...Green Bay/New England Super Bowl. Well we got some Corona shot drinking people down south that care and call bullshit! People falling out of VW vans with plumes of pot smoke billowing from within. Saying "DUUUUUUDE!" In Hawaiian shirts drinking drinks with little umbrellas in em! Chicks in thongs bathed in Ban du Soleil. That dude who sells oranges out of a shopping cart on the freeway on ramp. The dudes surfing in poop at Tijuana Sloughs. The mullet dude with the CB and eight ball tatt. Or the Paris Hiltonesque bimbo in a Mercedes. There all hoping for a San Diego VS fill in the blank Super Bowl. I don't care. The West Coast be hatin' on your snobbery and perfection. We shall see who prevails.
Quick note: The mighty Portland Trailblazers handed Miami their 12th loss in a row and did it to them in Miami. 98-91 Blazers. 2-2 so far on a 7 game road swing. Not bad. Portland is gonna shock and at least make the playoffs. Like the Chargers in 2004, from worst to almost 1st. Respectability, the Rose City is diggin' it.

Aahhhhhhhhhhh... just woke up. Lovely morning in New England... a nice fresh inch of snow in Buzzards Bay.
Let's check the weather.. well.... wouldn't you know it? Game time temps inthe teens.... snow squalls.... big fat NW wind, blowing right down on us from the North Pole.
Squalls are fun. We might even have sunshine...then a few minutes of blinding snow...then more sun. Californians might have problems with the day starting in the 30s,then getting colder somehow as the sun shines... but that's just life in Massachusetts. Most people I know don't consider this to be a bad day, weather wise... but most people I know are from Massachusetts, too.
Californians hate snow... even transplanted Californians.
I've lived in NE most of my life. We had a stretch of 50 degree weather a few weeks ago. I got spoiled. Now that the Chill has returned...I already dread walking my dog, and I'm a hearty New Englander. It really doesn't take that long for someone to get spoiled by non-frigid weather.
The last California team I saw comeout here- the heavily favored Raiders- fell apart like a Korean car once the weather got bad. San Diegois south of LA/Oakland, no?
Don't feel badly... I'd probably run in a panic if an earthquake happened here, while you'd probably be like "it's not REALLY an earthquake unless it shatters windows or something."
(just started snowing again, btw.....lol)
So... Californians arejust as hearty as New Englanders... you're just hearty about different weather events. Unfortunately, the chances of earthquakes and firestorms are very, very low in New England. The chances of snow and cold are far greater.
Of course...once you adjust to the weather... you have to beat the 16-0 team with the fist full of Super Bowl rings.
I love the Chargers, too... and I feel that this game is the de facto Super Bowl. I just thought I'd giveyou a quick weather update.
