OK, so its been 44 years of heartbreak. But, I have to admit that the Chargers are imbedded in my heart --broken or not. I have 'given up' and I have tried to switch allegiance. 'didn't work.
Last week, that team redeemed themselves in my viewpoint. With 2 minutes to play and leading the Colts by 4 points, I thought "OK...these are the Colts, World Champions. Its probably over for the Chargers. But you know what, John? This is a great team and they played one helluva game today. Win or lose, I'm proud of them." Then, I held my breath and paced for the last two minutes of the game. They won.
And now, in about 3 hours they face the Perfect Pats. No one thinks they can win...but they can. Win or lose, I will be proud of them. I won't be happy if they pull bonehead, game-losing stunts like they did last year against this same team. But undeniably, I will still be a Charger fan.
Good Luck, Bolts!
