    When you go to Mexico City, just stay away from any of those Mexican cantinas at night...especially LATE at night...they just LOVE to rob naive Americanos, especially drunk ones...which reminds me of ANOTHER story...I met a Canadian Dude who was living in Mexico who told me this story...he went to a cantina and sits on the stool, pays for a drink with a $20 dollar bill. Bartender gives him about $17 in change. He leaves the pile of cash next to his drink as he keeps drinking. Where Canadian Dude comes from, the next drink, the bartender just dips into the wad of cash. In Mexico, not so smart. 300-lb Jose spots the wad, reaches over, grabs the whole wad, and stuffs it into his pocket. Canadian Dude stares at him in shock, wondering if it's worth it to accuse Jose of theft or not. Jose keeps on drinking his cerveza as if nothing happened. Canadian Dude decides it's not worth a fight or worse. After the shock wears off, he slowly staggers out of the bar...

      Barely 20 years old when drafted, Philon grew into a 3Tech who was making plays in both the running and passing game.

      As pointed out, the Chargers saw a need for more length and power at defensive tackle (see interest in Taven Bryan, drafting of Jerry Tillery.)

      Obviously, the Chargers correctly assessed that Philon had not matured so as to be able to handle well getting his first big contract.
      This is actually a very incisive point. When you give a player an extension, a team should not only look at how he plays, but also his psycological makeup, his Twitter habits, his known other habits, including night life, whether he's a stable family man, etc. All these should go into the equation. The last thing u want to do is throw $$$ at the next Johnny Highball or a headcase like AB...

          LOL...watch out for those "Casa de Cambio" places also, who claim to give you a good exchange rate, but rip u off...reminds me of ANOTHER story...One time, before crossing the border, we went to a Casa de Cambio in San Ysidro...I gave 150-lb. Sneaky Jose about $100 to exchange to pesos...he counted out the pesos, gave me my receipt, then Jose noticed that I was actually examining the receipt and re-counting the pesos to verify he exchanged it at the correct rate...as soon as he sees me checking up on him, Sneaky Jose quickly grabs the whole pile, pulls it back in, pretends he made an honest mistake, then counts out the wad at the correct rate...take NOTHING for granted...oh, and ditch your expensive watch, ring and clothes...dress like an upgraded bum...crime and kidnappings are getting awful down there...a lot of these don't get reported by our news...

            My mom & dad used to love to go to the horse races at Caliente.

            My mom was waiting for a ride at the "Alto" sign and got arrested for soliciting.

            SD lawyer said to just pay the fine and move along.

            Ma made it back to Diego with quite the story.

              Wood, was she all dolled up in a short skirt? Any "nice" Mexican girl is careful not to dress a certain way and hang around certain places...
