I couldn’t disagree more, they abandoned the team when they started to struggle after the LT days and San Diegans voted against taxation to build a new stadium for the team.

Being from SD, I was fortunate when my San Diego Chargers drafted him when I was 19. I was blessed to watch him live for several seasons, including 2006. That was the only year I refused to sell my Raiders game tickets. LT had no holes in his game, and his skills were well above average in every category: Speed, Quickness, Blocking, Catching, Vision, Strength, Stiff Arm, Cutting Ability, Power, Nose for the End Zone, etc. If the Bolts were within the 5, everyone knew LT was getting it, and no one was going to stop him.
