That honor had originally been awarded to Los Angeles, only to have the LA group fail in developing a concrete stadium plan !!

No doubt the business friendly thinking in Texas was THE factor.
It was all very fateful and telltale for us Charger fans, wasn't it Bolt-O ?You don't know ball

Damn, my Mom, Jacquelin (Jackie) Couch passed away early Friday morning the 30th of November. I'm actually sort of relieved to be honest. She was bed-ridden and wasting away. And also had noticeable dementia. I can't imagine she was enjoying life too much. So YAHOO. That's my victory shout for Mom as she enters heaven to be with all those that love her unconditionally.
