Week 10 Pigskin Picks

What a week last week!!! My Chargers were 3 games out of first place, just a few weeks ago, but now they find themselves only 1 game out!!! They went into hostile New York, to the Meadowlands and BEAT the Giants. That's right- they beat the Giants!!! I'm so excited because my boys are back. I'm hoping this year's the year. Wouldn't it be fun to meet the Cowboys in the Superbowl? Hell yeah; that would be awesome and a great show!

This week, we find ourselves over halfway through the season, a season that has had a lot of ups and a lot of down for fans all over the country. Yet, just as Sarah is to inspire, many players in the NFL aim to inspire as well whether it be through kind acts of service or traveling to visit our military stationed abroad. LaDainian Tomlinson is one such individual. Although I love to watch LT on the field, it is what he does off the field that truly inspires me to want to do more. Every year, right before Thanksgiving, LT and his beautiful wife spend the day handing out hundreds of turkeys that they personally purchase themselves. These turkeys go to less fortunate San Diego families all over the county. This is what it's all about. This man and his wife don't do this to be praised; instead, they do it because they care and want to help out their fellow man and woman. They don't do this to get an award. They don't do this to get a pat on the back. They do this because they love America and those who live here. They want these families to have a great Thanksgiving and celebrate the holiday just like the rest of us. What a refreshing change of pace from the daily give-me's, handouts and bailouts that have become an all too common occurence. Thank you, LT, for showing all of us what it is REALLY all about. Now, on to week 10!
