Ref puts Chargers back in San Diego, and it probably won’t be last time

KaAHq1u_p2X8
The Broncos held on to beat the Chargers in dramatic fashion thanks to a blocked field goal on the final play of the game, but it was Philip Rivers who stole the show.

Yeah, that fight for L.A. is going to take some time, because a lot of people still have San Diego on their minds.

Via Eric Williams of ESPN.com, the official during last night’s Chargers-Broncos game was stuck in the past.

“First charged timeout, . . . to San Diego, . . .” he said during the first quarter.

Of course, after 56 years of a set of words fitting together in a certain order, it’s going to take people a moment to adjust.

Even Chargers coach Anthony Lynn made the mistake during his introductory press conference, before catching himself with “Oops, I meant L.A. Chargers.”

I give it at least two or three years before it stops, or perhaps until the Chargers move into an adult-sized stadium.
