Disappointing loss for the San Diego Chargers


Yesterday my home team was playing the Denver Broncos for the AFC championship. Everyone here in San Diego was really excited because it's been a long time since the Chargers were in the AFC playoffs and most San Diegans were looking for the Chargers to win. Sad to say that the Chargers ended up losing the game 24-17.  I watched the 3rd quarter and they were losing 17-0 so I changed the channel. They played very poorly and it didn't look like the Chargers that I know of. Obviously Chargers fans are not happy and will have to wait another season. I personally didn't want to get my hopes up too high because they seem to do this every year and let us Charger fans down so do you blame me for the way I feel? At work the other day, my co-worker larry and me where discussing about the upcoming playoff game with another coworker who was expecting the chargers to win but Larry and I were doubtful that San Diego could pull off such a win and I guess we were correct on this one. I'm sure a lot of people lost a lot of money on the chargers. How do you feel about the San Diego Chargers losing?

Triathlon In San Diego To Benefit Research For Crohn's Disease

I was watching the fox 5 news this morning and one of the highlights of the newscast was about this tri-rock marathon being held in downtown San Diego for a good cause. It's a charity event to raise funds to benefit Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis research. Triatheletes will compete against each other in a harbor swim in the San Diego bay, a flat bike and run course that will take them along the beautiful San Diego coastline before celebrating at the post race concert in Embarcadero park. What a great cause for those who suffer from Crohn's disease. I took some picture of this mornings news 5 newscast showcasing the event. It's a beautiful place to have a triathlon. I don't have this disease but I thought it was a good idea to mention about awareness of this because it can affect anyone. It causes inflammation and irritation in the intestines. The most common symptom of Crohn's disease is abdominal pain. You can check out more information on the web if you need to.
