The Winner

Fred Dean, DE

Like most kids living in Clairemont in 1980, I was a big Charger fan.  One summer day, while playing outside, I saw a moving van pull up down the street.  Hoping to find a new kid to play with – or beat up, since I was the neighborhood bully (yeah, right) – I made my way down the block to check out the new family.  Lo and behold, what did I see?  Not the new family, but none other than Fred Dean!  Working as a mover!!  Different times, huh?

Soon after that (or maybe BECAUSE of that), it all went sour between Dean and the Chargers.  Needless to say, because of my personal encounter, I give Dean the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his "beef" with the Chargers.  Plus, he gets a Golden Jersey for his trouble.
