*raises hand in Ponzi's direction* :-P As to refriedgringo,I can see where you're coming from. Kind of. I get the impression that Sandy Eggo has nothing to offer except the usual bulls*** and tries to pass itself off as this tropical paradise stuck out in the middle of Bumblef--k,Iowa. The Cubs suck but....they're the Cubs. The Padres try too hard to be something their not. HINT HINT. I'm not a huge fan of Sandy Eggo because of the uppityness of it. Sandy Eggo says"Don't drink on the beach". Sandy Eggo says"Don't smoke on the beach". Sandy Eggo says"Don't take your top off at the beach". Sandy Eggo says"Don't let your kids swim in a place that was built for them. Leave those seals alone!". Sandy Eggo says"We've got the beach. You can't do s*** on it but look at it and stare. And it'll cost you the blood of a 1,000 retarded Indonesians to live there". Sandy Eggo says"We're going to vote in lockstep with the rest of California and vote against gay marriage even though Iowa has it now we just look like a$$holes". Sandy Eggo says"Even though Californians voted to have the right to smoke weed,we'll waste millions of tax dollars to fight it". Sandy Eggo says"Even though we're a desert that burns every few years,we're still going to build more houses and then we'll put a limit on how much water they can use". Sandy Eggo says"Bring on the Powerlink". Sandy Eggo says"I don't care if we told you you could put up a building,we're now going to tell you to tear it down at tax payer expense". Sandy Eggo says"Our infrastructure is going to hell in a handbasket and corruption runs rampant but I don't care". And my personal favorite that I laugh at all the time-Sandy Eggo says"We're not like Los Angeles". I've been reading the really cool articles on the Stingaree and what San Diego used to be. San Diego might've been a hell of a cool town 30some years ago. But now,it's a sad old man who is so lonely,he shouts at his neighbor at 2 in the afternoon for mowing his lawn because he's tired of the noise. Sandy Eggo truly has become a whale's vagina and it's sports team's pride reflects it. You shlups paid 600 MILLION dollars to help build Petco Park. It may look lovely but where's that shiny trophy? It's like paying $500 to get laid and not even getting a hand job. Sad,really.— July 23, 2009 2:36 a.m.

I'm starting to see your way of life in more open eyes. As a quasi-racist,I've always had a soft spot for the Mexican. I'm on the fence about illegal immigration and most likely always will.— July 23, 2009 2:17 a.m.

And by refering to Mexico as a 3rd world country,I'm only half-joking. They're not 3rd world by definition but they got some serious issues down there.— July 22, 2009 10:40 p.m.

I didn't mean America as in where I'm sitting. I just meant race in America overall. I won't discuss race in America if I live in Canada. Thank you for enlightening me on the issue with Mexicans throwing their a**wipe in the corner. I did not know that about Mexican plumbing. It's still disgusting but now when I see it,I'll at least know why. Mexico's infrastructure sounds amazingly like Sandy Eggo's.... As for me traveling abroad,thanks,but no thanks. I've lived here for 4 years. I've never been south of the border and for good reason. I don't belong in a culture I know nothing about. Mainly for the corruption though.— July 22, 2009 10:38 p.m.

Uhhh,rickeysays,I refuse to fight over sports. I think Fred was refering to all of us. I troll YT constantly and talk tall s*** but in the end,you're still Chargeless fans and I'm still a Packer fan. I'm not out to change anyone's opinion. I'm just pointing out the irony.— July 22, 2009 10:29 p.m.

"So how about showing Charger fans a little respect?" rickeysays,To give a little background on why I hate the Chargeless and their fans so much-I live with two native Sandy Eggo die-hard Chargeless fans who cannot stand Brett Favre or the Packers. That's their right and it's kind of a running feud between us. What pisses me off is when I see a bunch of 17-25 years olds wearing their Rivers,Merriman,Tomlinson,Gates,Sproles,etc,etc jerseys and running their mouths like their the greatest f--king team since Wonderbread. I give them s*** CONSTANTLY. FACT:The Chargeless have NEVER won ANYTHING even remotely significant in 50 years. FACT:The Chargeless fans were part of the word fair-weather fan being coined. FACT:A playoff game was blacked out on January 4th,2008. The ONLY thing that kept this loser town from being national embarrassments was the SD-UT buying the remaining 350 tickets. Fact:LT has not played in a playoff game in two years because he bruised his vagina-er ego. Fact:Philip Rivers is one hell of a nice guy but a real a**hole on the field. Fact:Brett Favre will go down as one of,if not,THE greatest QB to have EVER played the game. FACT:The Green Bay Packers have sold out EVERY home game(including the playoffs)since 1960. FACT:Green Bay has won more World Titles than ANY other football team known to man. Why do I hate the Chargeless so much? Never in my life have I seen a group of people talk so much s*** about such an obviously horrible team who does nothing but choke year after year. This town is nothing but pride come playoff time but come february,where are the Jerseys? Where are the dorky car flags? Where are the hats? Where are the shirts? IN THE CLOSET. Case closed.— July 22, 2009 10:23 p.m.

As for growing up a Packer fan in Chicago,nobody ever said s*** to me. There's a mutual hatred yet respect between the team's fans. The only reason Raiders fans get into it with Chargeless fans is pure jealousy on the Chargeless fan's part. Chargeless fans know they support one of the sorriest team's to ever have joined the NFL and because of it,they try to bully respect from other AFC West fans. That's a fact!— July 21, 2009 10:16 p.m.

ROTFLMMFAO @ Spliff doing his Amazing Kreskin impression. I was born and bred to be a Bears fan. I was a Bears fan from birth till I was 12. Then I quit supporting the Bears and watching football altogether. I'm an Army brat. 95% of my family either lives in the deep south,New England or Wisconsin. The other 5% are my nephew and sister still living in Chicago. When I was 15 the Falcons drafted a QB from the University of Southern Mississippi named Brett Lorenzo Favre. My cousin sent me some VHS tapes of Favre at USM. I knew the guy was going to be someone special. Watching those tapes re-ignited the little boy in me so I started keeping my eye on him. At the time I was living with my uncle in Chippewa Falls,WI above his bar. Sundays came and I was there watching football. Until my cousin sent me those tapes,I was chasing muff around the community pool and looking for part-time work. My uncle explained a little history of the family's torrid love affair with the Bears,Packers and Viqueens. My parent's were born and raised in Wisconsin and are Bears fans. They hate the Packers. My sister(who along with myself)was born and raised in Chicago). She,along with her BF are Bears fans. My Nephew who is 14 is your classic pre-pubescent bandwagoner. He supports whoever is this season's flavor. My uncle Butch was born and raised in Wisconsin along with my mother and their brother Pete. He's a Bears/Packers fan. He loves the old Bears like Payton,The Fridge,McMahon and Butkus. My uncle Pete who explained this all to me is a ViQueens fan because he was living in the Twin Cities during the Purple People Eater era. I started to embrace the Packers when they traded for Favre. I jumped on the Favre/Packers bandwagon in 1992. It's now 2009 and I'm still here. Am I a true bandwagoner in every sense of the word or am I just a guy who fell in love with a team that was a huge part of his family history. You can call me a bandwagoner if that floats your boat but one thing I'm not is a deserter like 90% of Sandy Eggo Chargeless fans. The die-hards I pity. The bandwagoners I laugh at. And just for the record,as much as Favre is my idol and as long as he's alive,I'll never forget what he has done for my Packers and for the game,he's still just another player when he becomes a traitor to play for the 'Queens. My loyalty lies like this:#1-NFL fan #2-Packer fan #3-Favre fan As for your pathetic attempt at humor suggesting that the Raider Nation has more fans than Packer fans,link me to a site proving that. I KNOW I can back up my claims. Try again Spliff.— July 21, 2009 10:16 p.m.

LMAO! I'd rather not get into a heated debate about race in America. I will however say that the white man is not the only thief living on this land. As for myself,I act as white as a white can. I'm an educated redneck. You will not be hearing me say"no homo" or "my bad" anytime soon. Ebonics belong in the ghetto and any white man attempting to use them around me is in for a rude awakening.— July 21, 2009 9:34 p.m.
