No, not Cleveland - San Diego is America's Most Cursed Sports City

[El Supremo]

And I want to move there?

The San Diego sports curse is a superstition cited for the city of San Diego's inability to claim a modern North American major league professional sports championship (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals). With a population of over one million, San Diego is the largest city in the United States with this distinction. San Diego also has the distinction of having the longest major league championship drought for any city that has at least two major sports franchises, the last title dating back to 1963.

(snip)

The last major league sports championship for San Diego was the AFL Championship in 1963, when the San Diego Chargers emerged as AFL champions before the AFL merged with the NFL to form the current National Football League.[3] In comparison, in Cleveland, another cursed city, the Browns last won an NFL Championship in 1964. Since then, no other team from that city has won a major professional sports championship. The city of Buffalo is also similarly affected by an alleged curse, having last won an AFL Championship in 1965 (incidentally, the Bills defeated the Chargers for both of their AFL titles).

2. Yes

"On October 15th, 2012 the Chargers led 24-0 at the half over the Denver Broncos. The Broncos scored 35 unanswered points in the second half to win 35-24. This was the first time in NFL history a team led by 24 points and lost by double digits."

3. I didn't watch the game...but just knowing what happened

is amazing. Can we finally agree that Rivers just doesn't have it?

4. this loss belongs to norv..

with a 24-0 lead at half, the chargers could've taken a knee on every snap and still managed to eke out a win. instead of managing the clock (a concept that is completely foreign to norv), he has rivers winging the ball downfield. but he'll get another vote of confidence from the spanos', who will continue to whine because the taxpayers don't want to foot the bill for their little playground.

5. Part of this is "The Curse of the Bambi"

Lance Alworth got traded to Dallas and won his only Super Bowl ring there. I was very happy.
