    Family is great, thanks for asking. How are your kids (grown now) doing? Last I heard your boy was facing the end of his rugby career, right? I know that was a while ago but still a bummer, I followed his journey to UofA on here and was sad to see the injuries catch up.

    The year long cross country trip was amazing. Lucky to be able to give that experience to our girls, they saw and more importantly experienced almost the whole country, warts and all. It was also great to be able to show our youngest girl, who is black, the diversity this country has to offer, good and bad. We don't have a lot of that in Utah! It was certainly not a vacation, but life on the road, with all the same ups and downs that life can throw at you over the course of the year. There is a lot of life to be lived out there, and we did our best to find as much as we could in that year. An incredible experience that I am sad and glad is over!
    What a great experience with them. I bet they learned so much. You and your wife are amazing parents. Im glad that trip was a treasure you guys will share together.

    Id like to get on the road with my daughter before she goes off to school. So probably the summer after next we will go through some states. I took my son across the middle states and ended up in Nashville. He really enjoyed it. Great experience. No stress. Just cruising.

    I appreciate the sentiments regarding his career. It sucks. He had such a bright future. Hopeful olympian. But it wasn't worth it. He already has memory issues. I know a lot of Dads that would have forced the issue. Guys that live through their kids vicariously etc. I just want him to be healthy.

    Seeing him knocked out on a TV set crushed me. I almost had a heart attack sitting here watching that. I heard that hit. He just never could lose the football tackling. Its really bad for you in Rugby. He sure was fun to watch play sports. To be that big and that fast? I enjoyed it. I am so proud of him. He was John Riggins playing Rugby.

      Well my friend, you have your priorities straight, and so does your son. Sports are great, and teach us many valuable life lessons....this is one. I hope he puts as much energy and hard work into the next chapter of his life book. I hope he is happy and is at peace with it.

        Thanks man. He had a great internship with Colliers last summer and if all goes well he will go back again this summer. His boss is a monster charger fan. Like the most productive Commercial Real Estate guy in the Country or close to it. Just a massive opportunity to work with the best in the city.

          AWESOME!!!! I hope he succeeds and is happy doing it.

          My little man Ocean is 5. I have a long way to go. I was older when I became a dad, but it is the best thing to ever happen to me.

              4. This has always been very important to me. I think we can disagree with each other without lobbing personal attacks. So keep the insults to yourselves. Agree to disagree if you cant discuss the difference of opinions in a somewhat peaceful manner. Im all for arguing points...but making personal insults really has nothing to do with the topic/debate.

              You know in over 17 years we have never had to announce rules? This is the first time.

              We are all on the same team.

              Its really not to hard people. We have a lot of freedom here.
              This place has been around for 17 years or that you have known some of us for 17 years?

                Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

                - 69-74 record
                - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
                - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
                - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
                - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
                - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
                - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

                      Let's just say it was a good fit. I sniffed this one out last year.

                        I think I've known Fleet and a bunch of these fools for around 21 years. Never met any of them other than Benji(espn)
