LT- A SAN DIEGO CHARGER LEGEND.. INSPIRED BY LIFE EVENTS

LT- A SAN DIEGO CHARGER LEGEND . INSPIRED BY LIFE EVENTS.
NOV.20.2015
   Well, WHEN I was stationed in Japan , when the Great LT WAS DRAFTED by the Chargers,, and to be honest I thought at the time Mike Vick would be a better fit? Boy , was I really wrong? Like I said.. I didn't get to see the first two years of LT career because I was stationed in Japan.. overseas,, the so called TV station or stations we had ,, they only showed the contenders or play off teams. So the chargers during those early LT years,, were bad.. I maybe saw 1 or 2 games,,, a year? if that.. 
  But anyways.. when I returned to the united states.. I got to see LT live and in person.. Fan fest .. at the Q. My son was able to make LT turn around and wave.. priceless. Now,, on Sunday Nov. 22, 2015, We get to see the legend and his teammates,, give him a great tribute and proper farewell to the best and most favorite San Diego athlete.. I know Tony Gywnn was a legend.. But.. LT , was really something special to watch and see. He was electric.fast,, smart and passionate about how he played.. He pit the chargers back on top and a force to reckon with.. Man,, I miss those days,, 
 But now,,I want to pay tribute to aman that not only gave us a lifetime of memories,, My favorite .. hmm.. so many.. the one the really stands out is when he broke the TD RECORD AND HIS TEAMMATES LIFTED HIM up in the end zone,, if anything,, that was our Superbowl.. I know corny.. silly, but for a championship craving city like San Diego,, that was the moement that will ring out forever.. The other memory was when he did that stiff arm against a ram defender and knocked him down , like a Tyson punch.. that was one of the greatest runs,,, ever.. But the one I love was when they played the redskins,, and the game went into overtime,, and LT.. on the first play in overtime,, took a simple power run and score the winning touchdown,, while he was watching himself on the jumbo tron.. awesome memory.. And now,, come Sunday,, My family gets to see him at half time and hear and see what he has to see and having his teammates with him,, is great.. I'm really hyped,, and I hope the team secures a win, to truly make it a festive day. Lets see what happens? But I know one thing to see that LT smile and those tears i know he will shed and the many fans including myself will shed,, will truly make it a special day,, I know the stadium talk, the possible move or threat of moving,, and the losing season,, the charges are going through ,, has soured many fans,, But for one day,, Lets put those emotions away,and Lets get the 'Q' rocking with chants of LT , LT!! its going to be awesome,,and it could be the spark, that will change this season around.. Because believe it or not,, if or when the charges win out,, they can finish 9-7,, and I know,, it might not be good enough,, but then again,, it might,, ?? Well for San Diego charger fans,, recall those glory days,, and if your attending the game,, LETS ROCK THE 'Q' ONEMORE TIME,, FOR THE GREATEST CHARGER OF ALL TIME,, no disrespect to JR SEAU,,, but LT was so special not only as a athlete , but a person,,, The passion he had being a charger was second to none and his thrilling runs were amazing to watch,, I know about the playoff performances or lack of. But his talents were awesome to see, and come Sunday we get treated to watching the LT train come racing by and I know I'm gonna do the LT CHANTS,, AND its going to be a fantastic experience.. and of course I will blog about.. Its what bloggers do.. we write about life experiences,, and share them with our family and friends ..Until my next blog,,, Have a great night and be happy!!

THE SOURCES NFL WEEK 10 PICKS , LAST WEEK 9-4 , OVERALL 79-39
PICKS IN BOLD PRINT...
THURSDAY 
BILLS AT JETS - The jets are for real , they can run and stop the run and they play error free football. hey are physical and aggressive. The Bills are the up and comers and could make this a tight low scoring game.. 
SUNDAY 
LIONS AT PACKERS -The Lions are not the same this year and now face a true Superbowl contender, yes the packers have lost to in a row , but they come back and get a hard fought win at home.. 
COWBOYS AT BUCCANEERS- how about those boys?The boys miss romo and a healthy bryant, the defense has stepped up , but the offense is still a work in progress. It must win for the boys. but I see the Bucs.. having more energy and desire this week,, and win a close game at home.. 
PANTHERS AT TITANS - The titans came up with a nice win , against a bad defensive team. Not this week.. The Panthers are the beasts from the NFC. They may not have oneof the better offenses in the league , but they have enough to beat the up and coming titans.. 
BEARS AT RAMS- da bears came up with a last minute drive to beat the chargers last week. They now face a better defensive team that has a running game and the ability to stop the run. The rams could make this one a laugher,, Gurley show continues as he has another big day...
SAINTS AT REDSKINS- The saints can score at will, but the defense allows the same.. The skins will get a hard fought win at home,, It could be a shootout as both teams atruggle on defense.. 
DOLPHINS AT EAGLES- The eagles have a fast pace offense and the fins have a struggling defense, this could be a laugher if the eagles get rolling.. tannehill is so mediocre , and the team follows suit, if the offense gets going and takes a lead, they have a chance, but the Eagles are playing much better and fighting for that play off spot.. 
BROWNS AT STEELERS- The johnny football show hits the road.. problem..the steelers defense has stepped up and Lamdry jones is playing winning football. This will be a rough and tough game, but the steelers just have too much to defend..Pride, passion and a well coached team will prevail ..
JAGUARS AT RAVENS- The ravens are struggling this year , maybe because of all the changes on offense, They seem to have found their formula, and they will use it against the inconsistent jaguars. The jags have played better , but they don't have the weapons to out duel or outplay the ravens at home.
VIKINGS AT RAIDERS- The vikes lost their franchise qb, now that hurts,, AP will get his yards, but the raiders are playing lights out offense. At home the raiders are suddenly a top place to play at. It wont be easy or fun to watch, but the raiders continue to win as they make the final push for that coveted playoff spot,..
PATRIOTS AT GIANTS- The game of week.. The Giants have a chance to spoil the Patriot express train for a undefeated season. The Giants don't have enough weapon's on offense to keep up with Tom brady and the bunch and the defense doesn't have enough of a pass rush to frustrate the patriots.. 
CHIEFS AT BRONCOS - The battle of the AFC WEST.. AT home the broncos are hard to beat and chiefs without charles,, is not a good sign.. Alex smith will struggle and Peyton Manning will have a big day.. The broncos win easily at home..
SUNDAY NIGHT
CARDINALS AT SEAHAWKS-A NFC WEST WAR.. The cardinals are playing better football and the hawks have struggled at times this year. I see a hard hitting and low scoring game. It will depend on a late field goal and alot of emotions from both sides.. 
MONDAY NIGHT 
TEXANS AT BENGALS- The texans haven't played consistent this year and the bengals are one of the remaining unbeaten teams, that trend continues, the bengals a true contenders and may face the patriots in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. 
ENJOY!!

Happy Veterans day 2015.. Inspired by true events..

Happy Veterans Day 2015.. Inspired by true events...

    I want to wish Happy Veterans day to the many shipmates and Marines I served with during my 20 + plus in the Military. To those that lost their lives making the ultimate sacrifice , during the, Operation enduring freedom, and many others deployments I was a part of .. which was 7 deployments some lasting 9 months.. 

    When I look back it seems those years flew by, but when I was going through the lonely days and nights away from the family and friends, I realized the pain and suffering , was felt by my family, my eldest telling me, how he cried and wish I was home to help him during his high school football years. I know I advised him and taught him while I was around, but to be honest I wasn't around long enough to really help him.. and for that son. I'm sorry, but I was tasked in protecting the freedoms of america,, and though my son has done well in his life.. It  really hurts me, to think if only I was home more.. I'm a true sea warrior, I cancelled shore duty to return to sea life.. why? because being at sea , and deployment to foreign lands was in my blood. Being at shore.. doing nothing , did not inspire me.. I know,. crazy,, but I think and i believed you have to be a little crazy and passionate about being unselfish and thinking about others. I always tried my best helping others in my career. Whether it was being a mentor to young sailors and marines, or just assisting with security alert drills, if it made the command a safer place.. I was down with it.. But anyways.. Now that I have been retired now almost 4 years.. Its seems The best times of my life was those glorious and wonderful years with the crew of the USS CAMDEN AOE 2, USS PRINCETON CG 59 , AND USS PELELIEU LHA 5 , with brief stint with the USS Nimitz,, and my Misawa, Japan commands and 

RECRUITING SCHOOL , SECURITY FORCE ACADEMY , NAS Coronado , and NB SAN DIEGO,,, those gung ho members form each command, I dearly miss and on this veterans day. I salute everyone I served with , cried with, and suffered with ... Because ,, the bottom line. It was all about getting the mission accomplished.. I miss you guys and girls and I wish everyone I served with  a wonderful life ahead!! And to those members that passed away , we haven't forgotten you, I know when i saw and witnessed my first death,, it was mind boggling and sad, but the navy lets you mourn for a second or two and then back to work.. In fact ,, I didn't really cry until I retired and thought about all the misery and pains I suffered during my career. But now.. I'm a proud and loud American retired sailor that is now serving the Military Sealift Command and other commands around the globe.. Its a great place to be,, retired ,but still a part of the process.. I'm thankful for the many shipmates and marines I served with and still remain great friends.. We have a unbreakable bond that will live forever. To those I served with.. I respect and honor every moment we lived in the pursuit of freedom for all.. Peace and freedom is not free, it takes a constant faith and belief in the American way of Life.. God Bless America and those who have served their time!!
