(Picture Title: Brady and Moss/A Strained Relationship--we would say that his missus was upset about the abuse being heaped on them but she was jawing back....he on the other hand was....irritated. Good Sports all in all!)Where to begin after months of hype? We'll start with the thanks!
Chef and John: Awesome job with the pig.Tasted great and it was selfless of you guys to put in so much time so that others could enjoy.
Tyler: Setting up the bean-bag toss tournament was a good addition to the day. Not easy to defeat Professional drinking game specialists like TimA and Josh.....Good on ya for winning the Championship!
MBlue & RevJim: Well you know!
Alfred: TheRightHandMan
There are many angles we could take to the day but for the most part it seemed to be an example of life imitating art.....Cryptic, I know....not at all a good thing, but we will leave it at that.
When it's all said and done the Chargers needed to win and they did. They needed to win convincingly and they did. The fact that it was against the Patriots sweetened the deal to be sure but we will concede that week 5 wins are not the same as AFCCG wins. It was nice to see all of those New Englanders squirm out with their tails between their legs. With us we took only tales.
We think it would be worth posting a couple of comments, from before and after Charger/Patriot Game from a gentlemen who refers to himself as "Boston Irish". We know...we know....we hate to give any credence to what anything that a fan from that part of the country says but these comments truly illuminate the message we have been trying to propagate since January 14th, 2007.
THE MESSAGE: THEIR fans think they are BETTER than US! The Pundits say elitism is what cost John Kerry the '04 election....figures....he's from Massachusetts! Look at the comments and tell us if you think they don't reek of elitism and condescension.
Mr. Irish made those remarks before the game which we refuted in the "I am Jack's Smirking Revenge" comment section. We also asked that he return to "own" the comments if the Pats lost. He did the HONOR-able thing and returned (for some reason he insists on spelling honorable that way...we don't get the emphasis).

Congrats- You beat us in a semi-meaningless game without Tom Brady, Lawrence Maroney and Ben Watson ...
Maybe some day you will beat our real team in a real playoff game that counts ... - Hmmm.....Ben Watson? Are you FUCKING SERIOUS? The first thing any Patriot fan worth his salt, will ever tell you, is that Charger Fan shouldn't make excuses for having LT, PR, and AG, injured during the AFC championship game last year. I agree that you don't make excuses about injuries--we liked our chances with Michael Turner in the back field and The Legend, Phillip Rivers at the helm.
- Mr. Irish disagrees because he's a crybaby. The whambulance is coming for you, guy... and all your fans who thought they could forget about the Pats for awhile and bask in the glory that is your Bahston Red Saux.....well that sun is setting and the Rays are risin'. They are embarrassing you at the Fens!
On to the longest road trip in the history of the NFL!
(And yes....those look like the worst seats EVER but there was one bright spot. There was a kid wearing a Rodney Harrison jersey and he was also sporting......a fedora! That made the seat worth it believe me/we/us! There couldn't have been a more abusive section in that stadium!)
Why would any team think that hiring Norv Turner - who never won anywhere was a good idea? At least Schottenheimer's teams looked ok until the playoffs. Or was hiring Norv HONOR-able?
I will take my evil genius and the associated baggage any day.
Also tt{sic} was fantastic for the Red Sox to humiliate a Southern California team yet again - following the Celtics plastering of the over-hyped Lakers and of course the Patriots annual playoff drubbing of the Chargers.
