Brian's Bio

Grew up in San Diego and have been a Padres and Chargers fan all my life. I still have a soft spot for the Clippers as well. Love baseball and football and now with a daughter who plays softball, have gotten to love softball.

What I write may border on satire/editorial, but, I hope all who read what I write, enjoyable.

**Work has been crazy the last few months (3 projects at the same time with less people, YIKES!), but, things are slowing down a bit and hopefully I'll be back and more consistent.**

Yes, that is THE Jim Laslavic sitting next to me.

Hope the Chargers don't miss out on the big hitter up the middle from USC!

Brian,

Is it possible the Chargers are actually considering getting rid of their All Pro in LT? Let me know what you think man.

Brian,

I don't think I mentioned it before - but congratulations on being named co-Community Leader alongside Ian and myself. I wrote an article the other day, inspired on the Chiefs-Chargers game and that ticky-tack call against Clinton Hart.

Hey there, I'm pondering an article about the draft needs (first round) of all the teams in the nfl, and how they match up with the prospects, I was wondering if you could give me some insight on your team, the chargers?
