False. SDSU has repeatedly sayd they’d opt for a smaller stadium given the chance. Have you been to an Aztecs football game? We won the Mountain West last year and still couldn't come close to filling 71,000 seats at Qualcomm.

Anyone else think those were coffee beans at first glance?

For those of us in SD this was about as surprisingly good of an outcome as could be hoped for. Dean Spanos, who had been holding San Diego hostage economically and emotionally (fuck you Dean Spanos), is now being held hostage economically and emotionally by Stan Kroenke. The Chargers will never be a vibrant franchise…

AJ Smith would approve.

Huh. This part of the internet didn’t suck today.

Yeah, but it’s the same deal in LA, except even more so. I’m up there for work often and people in LA absolutely give zero f*cks about the Chargers. Might as well keep them here in SD where some of us are actually pretty stoked on them.

And it’s not just the military. Half of coastal San Diego is twenty something Midwesterners fleeing...the Midwest. As anyone who listens to 1090 or 1360 knows, the fan “problem” is a complex and always-discussed issue, but a huge part of it is that San Diego is a transplant city (because who moves to Pittsburgh) full…

The real hero here is “Let’s go Padres” guy in the background. He’s absolutely unwavering.

*Freeway. No one says interstate here.

I was wondering when Deadspin would get around to this story. Frankly I thought it would be much more snarky. No worries though...found the snark in the comments.

Boy there's a lot of fat people in Texas.

Everything you said abut the Bolts is so damn true. Except the part about the city. San Diego is paradise. No, actually, nevermind. You're right Drew, the city and the people suck. No one come here. It's awful. DON'T COME HERE.

Class act, both of them.

Too dangerous to photograph the animals in their natural environment.

Hah. Best comment I've seen in a while. +1

Great analysis, but my question is, how the hell did you get your hands on all those All-22's?

Just a drunken college fight. Oh wait. They don't drink. I'm totally confused.

I've got Steve Smith on my fantasy team. He's been wagging his wanker at me all season.

but can he do it in one quarter? that takes real talent.
