Nothing Could Be Finer Than to Rip T.J. Simers
It was bad news when The Times eliminated its San Diego edition; however, the good news was that it meant that T.J. Simers would no longer be writing his negative articles on the Chargers.
In your Aug. 29 paper, Simers attacked the Chargers’ Chris Mims with a typical mean article. The real background is that Simers is still unhappy that after he called Mims “a wasted draft choice” in 1992, Mims was named the AFC defensive player of the month in November of that year.
In San Diego, we miss The Times, but if you ever reopen a San Diego edition, please leave Simers in Los Angeles. We don’t want him back. I understand Will Rogers never met Simers.
