Look, I'll just say it...I'm not ready for football to start just yet. Sure last year when the Padres where 25 games below .500 I couldn't wait for the Chargers to start up, but this year...no way.
Unfortunately the NFL doesn't really care what I think and they are moving ahead with their season. To that point, the Chargers prepared for their 2nd preseason game of the year by taking a trip to MCAS Miramar to do a walk through for all the Marines at the base. In all honesty, it's barely a walk through...it's way more about saying thank you to the troops. The Charger Girls show up, the players give autographs and everybody posses for pictures.
I was there covering it for Channel 4 and did an interview with Malcolm Floyd...who is in line to replace Vincent Jackson this season now that Jackson is sitting out. Floyd is a great kid and a great athlete, I recommend you take him in your fantasy draft if you can. BTW, if you want to see a portion of the interview I did with him today, you can watch it on the 4sd website...check it out.
Good riddance to Jackson. Who in their right mind gives up 3.25 million for on year of service. Even Seattle, who needs a receiver desperately, said no to this @**. I will just mention this... Even the likes of a Chris Carpenter would take less in his career to even just reach the Bowl. VJ, you are now where near anyone to sit out for money, let alone a ring.
