This football team wants to play here, they want to be good, and they want the fans to see them. Also, the fans WANT to see them, they want them to play here, and the want them to be good (duh).
There is a ton of money to be made by linking up those two sides, so why is that so hard???
In the next installment of blunderings by some strange force that wants to deter the countless people from Tijuana to LA who want to watch a Chargers team play well that wants to play well in San Diego... the first pre-season game is... blacked out? Blacking out a preseason game, you say? Huh? Is that normal? Well, hm, what do other markets who black out their games do during preseason? Oh that's right, other market's don't black out their games! They don't throw a wet blanket over brewing fan excitement and support, not to mention gobs of TV advertising dollars. Blacking out games in the home market is such an inane concept, and blacking out a preseaon game just looks ridiculous.
Did I want to watch Philip not underthrow passes? Yep. Did I want to watch Cromartie pick off Mr. Favre? You bet. Did I want to watch LT stiff arm some fools? (ok- no, not that last one. We know you're a badass, 21, you relax and wait til the 11th). But it's preseason, so I'll just have a few more beers and wait til the 10:30 replay... punters! I hope for the sake of this blog, that I don't have to respond to any regular season F*%ing blackouts.
Go CHARGERS!

Without blackouts how are owners supposed to punish their fans for not buying $80 tickets to a preseason game?
I tried to go but they made me buy tickets to three other home games, two road games outside of our division on the east coast and season seats for 2009 in L.A. I thought about it for a while and decided that was a bit much...
