San Diego Sports

January 5, 2014 will go down as one of the most memorable days in San Diego sports history. At least for me it will.

Most importantly, I just found out that Jerry Coleman has passed. What a great man. I'm not sure my words can to justice to him. I just loved listening to him do Padre games on the radio. I'm old enough to remember having the game on as I went to sleep at night. As the years passed I came to appreciate him more and more. And knowing how he served our country made you love him even more. I've never heard anyone say a bad word about the man. He lived a long and interesting life. I always thought of him as the "Forest Gump" of San Diego. I will personally miss him. San Diego Padres baseball will never be the same. Rest In Peace Jerry.

The Chargers... They WON! What an incredible ride they've been on the past 5 weeks. I thought things were a little shaky in the first half but I was very impressed that they made some adjustments and let Rivers throw more. I have this strange feeling they are going to win in Denver next week but then lose to the Patriots. My "official" prediction is that it will be a Seattle-NewEngland SuperBowl.

And My AZTECS... WON! Are you kidding me? Going into Kansas and dominating. Yes, I know they only ended up winning by 4 but they were ahead the whole game. I'm so proud to be an Aztec right now. Hell I'm proud of my roots. I'm never ashamed to brag to folks that I grew up in San Diego. Yes, we haven't had the greatest luck in sports but it's a wonderful town. And I'll always be a San Diegan. And an Aztec4Life.
