San Diego Reader

On the afternoon of January 2, 2009 at Seau's in Mission Valley, it was apparent that NFL playoff fever has already taken ahold of San Diego. Hundreds of Chargers fans gathered inside and outside of Seau's at the Westfield Mission Valley Shopping Centre for a pre-playoff party and pep rally. Chargers fans waited in lengthy lines to get their hands on free Chargers swag from the local radio stations that had setup booths outside and were giving away prizes themed in yellow and blue colors, including beads, T-shirts, and beach balls. Of course, the lengthiest line was for the XTRA Sports 1360AM booth because that's where the Chargers cheerleaders were signing their latest swimsuit calendar with the proceeds going to charity.
