Hello, my name is Dan and this is my DT Log.

There is not one Thanksgiving that goes by without a reference to Tryptophan. According to snopes, eating turkey does not make you sleepy. Considering how much turkey I ate last night, I should’ve conked out on the way to the bedroom.

Chargers.com forum: San Diego Union-Tribune continues to print letters from uninformed people.

I’m saving this for posterity. You’d need an active forum account to read the thread. Here is the gist:

Letter in today’s SD U-T: NO LAUGHINGSTOCK NOW: How come people aren’t talking about Drew Brees’ passes floating or lack of arm strength now? It’s amazing what an offensive line and receivers who can actually catch (and who aren’t David Boston) can make. If the Chargers don’t sign him to a long-term contract they should be the laughingstock of the league (i.e., Cincinnati Bengals). Trade Philip Rivers if you have to. “A bird in the hand . . . “ -JOHN J. DeGUIDE, M.D., Rockford, Ill.

Me: We had talked about the QB situation ad nauseum, but what is the U-T’s editorial policy of letters to the sports desk? Anything negative or anti-Charger gets to go in automatically? Even if it’s woefully underinformed? And from OUT-OF-STATE? How does he know what we’re talking about here in San Diego?

Angry “norts71″: What I am offended by is your arrogance. Just because we don’t live in SD doesn’t mean we can’t comment on the Chargers. That’s completely idiotic…. I know that most of us Charger fans out here would at least SHOW UP to the f’ing games!!!!!!!!

Me: You completely missed the point of my post. I never said out-of-town Chargers fans (a) can’t comment on the team, or (b) write the San Diego Union-Tribune about the Chargers. My point was they need to print a letter from somebody 2000 miles just because it’s negative. Go back and reread what I posted and then show me where I said out-of-towners can’t post. I doubt Dr. John is a Charger fan. You need to relax.
