NFL Donates 250,000 Dollars to Relief Effort

This story is everywhere, but I’m pulling it from the Chargers web site.  The NFL is donating 250,000 bucks to the San Diego relief effort after fires ravaged a sizable portion of the county.  The Chargers were also able to collect more than 70,000 dollars from those fans in attendance at last week’s home game.  This money will be used by various organizations to aid in their relief to displaced families.  Obviously, all of us in San Diego County would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the NFL for their assistance, as well as the same heartfelt thank you to every single person who has donated any of their time, money, or possessions to the relief effort here.

It’s definitely tough to think about football when these types of stories are coming at me left and right, but I do hope to give you all some insider scoops on this Sunday’s game soon.  The Chargers are rolling, as we all well know, and everyone is hopeful that they will continue to roll all the way into the playoffs.  You have to wonder if perhaps this last week, as the Chargers all faced this very real tragedy together, may not have brought the team closer and given them a banner to carry every game.  The Chargers always represent the city of San Diego, but this fire gives them a real, tangible reason to go out there and win one for their fans every week.  Here’s hoping the can continue the winning streak this Sunday.
