Stupid is as Stupid Does...

As you have heard, the Chargers have withdrawn their desire to have a vote to have public funds allocated for a new stadium. I can’t really blame them since Bruce Henderson and Michael Aguirre are still on watch down here to snuff all of the fun out of the town. Even if the vote were to pass by a surprisingly staggering majority, Mr. Henderson would soil his diaper in a public forum and then whine and cry about it until he convinced a few people to get on his no fun wagon. Then we’d have some ridiculous construction delay causing us to lose a year or two of our new facility, thereby increasing the construction costs due to delays, and about $100 million of upgrades would have to come out of our new baseball park…. I mean football stadium. Football Stadium.

It now seems as if it won’t really make a difference, as the Chargers are seeking private investment dollars instead of public funds. Since the city’s lease with the team expires in 2007, we have less than two years to come up with oh, say, $450 million to keep our team, who is severely lacking in coaching leadership and now has a one armed quarterback, and a very capable backup that throws like a girl, I mean Dan Marino, he throws like Dan Marino.

So, in 2008, our team is going to move to Los Angeles to give that great market for football their third chance at a professional franchise. And the Los Angelesians will have a team to go not watch, again. PETA will have another spot to launch their wonderfully effective propaganda, I mean, protests about using the bacon flavored remains of a pig to play the game that nobody will go watch, again.

Any suggestions are welcome as to who I am going to be rooting for in 2008…as of now the Argonauts are the leading vote getters…
