I saw this link on Alley Insider. It is a clarion call to young adults: Be careful what is on your Facebook page. Someone important will be watching.

Norv Turner Deserves to be Upset

The San Diego Chargers lost a game because of two non calls by the game officials. The first non call happened because the cameras that handle replays weren’t working on the sidelines. What?!!!!!!!! And the second was an admitted blown call that would have ended the game in San Diego’s favor.

I have to admit that the game was one of the best I have seen in a long, long time but as a sports team owner, I just wince when I see a game lost because of an official’s call. Teams work so hard to win and who knows if this loss will ultimately keep San Diego out of the playoffs this season. No one will remember the calls. All people will see is the won/loss column.

To lose a game that was winnable on two pivotal calls by on field officials is deeply depressing.

Rock Bottom: Only Way to Go is Up for Mystics

Now the rebuilding can begin.

We have to get a high draft pick in the off season. Hopefully a great young player will be added and can become a cornerstone player for us. We have to use trades where we can add youth and get more picks and prospects. We have to use free agency to add veteran presence. And our young players that got lots of playing time this season after the Olympic break will just mature and get better and better.

We want to rebuild this team the right way. There will be no quick fixes or shortcuts. We are looking at long term solutions. We want to build a great team and one we can be proud of. That is the plan. Does it sound familiar?
