As Usual, Readers Can Count on Death, Taxes and a Big Loss by AFC

The San Diego Chargers now have the awesome responsibility of living up to AFC expectations: Can they get to and lose the next three Super Bowls?

Thank you, Bill Plaschke, for your very funny analysis of the strengths of San Diego and the “weaknesses” of the 49ers. Your predictive skills could use a little tuning. However, it is nice to know that there is someone in this town who understands pro football even less than Al Davis and my 83-year-old grandmother.

An investigation is in order. The Buffalo Bills put on San Diego Charger uniforms and sneaked into another Super Bowl.

Regarding Elliott Almond’s item in the Super Bowl Spotlight, which read in part: “As tradition would have it, the game was a turkey.”

Well, if Super Bowl XXIX was a turkey, what does Almond think Super Bowl XXX will be like? Anyone who has rolled a bowling ball knows that three strikes in a row (XXX) is a real turkey.
