Goldsmith loses, Briggs wins
When egos run a case this is a typical result. Especially when your ego is paid with someone else's money.— January 21, 2017 3:36 p.m.
Today the saddest day ever for Chargers fans
I don't know about Aztec football, but football at the local high school level pays for, or substantially supports, all the other sports for the kids. School Boards all over the county have decimated athletic activity budgets and the sale of tickets to games offsets the costs of all sports. For the most part athletics at the high school level has a very positive impact on those who participate, teaching concepts of team work, honing interpersonal skills and reducing the amount of idle time and opportunities for mischievous acts or worse.— January 18, 2017 7:31 a.m.

It's a cue to the technical director queue up the recorded call for replay. Rack'em, typically applies to so called instant replay in the days of video tape. Where tape was rewound or re-racked for replay. In today's all digital environment the term is obsolete but still used in this example.— January 17, 2017 4:32 p.m.

LOL! Our Mayor? Mr. Milktoast, sue the NFL and Spanos. Sorry, I'm laughing so hard. Take a side on an important issue? Yeah, right. Faulconer never seen a side he couldn't like in any argument.— January 17, 2017 2:05 p.m.

Yes, that's true. In the column Steeg wrote, "As my wife opined in the Union-Tribune in the summer of 2014, the Spanos family wanted Los Angeles and that was their total focus. This proved to be true." Spanos, through his mouthpiece, Fabiani, obfuscated the truth for years. And now he even gets the other owners to subsidize his malfeasance. If they're waiving some of the relocation fees for his phony ballot measure maybe the owners aren't as smart as they think they are.— January 15, 2017 7:38 p.m.

There is an interesting and informative column by Jim Steeg, former Charger COO and NLF VP in the Sunday, Jan 15, 2017. pg. A20 edition of the U-T. Jim, an extremely creative gentleman and showman should be credited with making the Super Bowl what it is today. Not just a Championship game, but a true cultural spectacle. I had the pleasure of working with him on two of the three Superbowls staged in San Diego. Jim, a Charger insider, gives us a glimpse into the inner working of the Spanos dynasty, as well as the shortcomings of our hapless elected leaders. However, in the no holds barred rundown, the title of the piece tells most of the story: "Spanos Family Blew It by Alienating So Many..." It is worth a read. The link below is an archive of the story: http://sandiegouniontribune.ca.newsmemory.com/pub…— January 15, 2017 9:47 a.m.
City to block mayor's testimony in accident case?
And how would you know that if you serve on a jury? Jurors swear an oath to only consider the testimony presented and not to pre-judge a case based on personal knowledge. Judges, trained in the law, decide what is relevant for Jurors to see and hear. Lawyers, also educated and trained in the law, present their cases and make arguments for their side. Each side of a case deserves fairness. Taking any personal knowledge in this, or any other case, bias, or personal beliefs AND letting them alter your decision about the testimony presented is not what our justice system, criminal or civil, is about or intends. What you and others have presented about actions or the lack thereof is the failing of the system, or, more likely, the "people" who wield the power within it. A better solution in my mind, is to replace those who fail to meet a reasonable standard. Let THEIR record of inaction or ineffectiveness reflect their eligibility to hold the office and responsibilities it has. If the information regarding council member Faulconer's knowledge and lack of action is true, then he should not hold any position of power. However, the City has stated he had, or has no personal knowledge. A Judge will determine the veracity of that statement and, we, the people, have the power to remove and/or replace him, OR ANY OTHER POLITICIAN if he, or she, has failed to live up to the responsibilities of the office held.— January 14, 2017 7:54 a.m.

The Q costs taxpayers over 10 million dollars a year in operation and maintenance costs. That doesn't cover the cost on the bonds used to pay for the expansion in 1997. Those are two reason right there.— January 13, 2017 7:15 p.m.

"California's economy has been booming the last 3-4 years with State budget surpluses." SportsFan0000 what have you been smoking? Surpluses? Are you really believing that crap that Jerry been selling? It's completely phony accounting. It should be illegal and it is immoral. Don't fall for it.— January 12, 2017 8:43 p.m.
