I just did inventory of all my patio furniture (surprisingly, hanging on) but it’s doing much better than the Chargers did last night- straight blown away by the Bengals.  And during a game where they were missing their two best (and craziest) receivers- Owens and Ochocinco!  Of all teams, if you’re going to puke all over your playoff hopes, why let a 4-11 team do the clean up?   KC had already won their game earlier, so a win was San Diego’s only lifeline for this season.  Instead, a 4th quarter interception (later carried for a Bengals TD) was pretty much the nail on the coffin.  Sure, I get that it was cold.  I’ll send you namby-pambies some long johns and furry slippers next year.  But there were only a few flurries in the air, and you guys got snowballed on the field.  Get a bus home from Cincy.  Walk if you have to.  Give yourself some time to contemplate how the tortured SD fans feel.  Can’t just one of our sports teams bring us a ring or trophy or something?

One happy ending- Mike Tolbert looks like he’ll be OK after face planting in the ground until being carried off on a stretcher.
