Ahhh the Q. It’s been a long 7 months (especially with the Padres) since my last visit. If anything, it felt good just being there. After hitting the beach earlier tonight with Jbox we headed over with about 10,000 other fans to watch the Chargers first public practice.
I’ve never seen so many fans show up for a practice. Must be because the Bolts are only holding just three practices for the public this year because of the broken drain pipe in
Jbox and I cruised around and just took it all in. We were loving it. As far as I’m concerned Kickoff weekend is Christmas and tonight was Thanksgiving… just a taste of what’s about to come.
Not much to report in the practice itself. Everyone looked good, but in all public practices nothing is really going to be shown by the Charge. Regardless, here are a few pics from tonight.

"Vacation"?
Not really. Coming to town strictly to watch the Chargers. My wife’s not coming and I don’t have anything relaxing planned.
Me and the writers will be at a bar downtown on Saturday night and fans are welcome to come by. I’ll post the bar, the time and descriptions of us on the BFTB Twitter on Saturday.

Oh I get it...
Wife reads the blog.
::says loudly:: Good point John I am sure that it will be devastating for you to leave that great town of Philadelphia for the weekend to come to San Diego and be forced to do nothing but watch the Chargers and meet up with readers at various bars in the downtown area. I would hate to have to go through such a rigorous weekend my self.
::whispers:: how was that?

My sister and I were in the top pic somewhere
I was wearing a powder blue Chambers jersey, though I think the lady with the white vest is in the way. Rivers deffenitly had a off night, though Sean Phillips interception was sweet.

no Rec
too easy.
He definitely practiced though. I’m pretty sure that picture above is him about the catch Rivers spiral.

He looked ok...
nothing too outstanding. He was working with the second team and was overshadowed by Floyd and Osgood (who both looked great).

who is defending
Buster is the river’s spiral picture?
- - Castillo?
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Nevermind all. . . .
I should have looked him up before asking. I had printed up a roster from chargers.com yesterday so that I could be the GM and cut who i wanted to down to 53. He wasn’t on there yesterday. Not a bad first day though. Get signed and have your first practice in front of all the fans in a stadium.
