Sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing mate. Those make for difficult times. As to Rams or Chargers, I’m partial to the Powder Blue over the horns but again, getting a future son-in-law who is a huge Chargers fan so there’s that. As to loyalty of teams, I’ve stuck with my Jaguars through thick and thin, the Canes of course, and my beloved BoSox as well. Times were lean there for awhile but with Boston winning so many titles lately it’s been a Godsend. I remember being on the phone with my Dad who grew up in Boston and not uttering a word in 2004. Just absolute shock and stun that the Red Sox had won the World Series. Thought for sure they would blow it against the hated Yankees in the ALCS. The huge momentum swing put thee. Up against St. Louis who couldn’t handle the groundswell and the rest is history. I think part of enjoying a championship is being there through the lean times, when only despair is the hope one can cling to. But I’m old school and get the younger generation’s love fest with players and no teams. Here’s hoping after 15+ years of futility that our Canes can arise from the ashes anew, and go on a winning streak the likes of what we haven’t seen since the early 2000’s.
