TJ Simers Eviscerates San Diego
Media Gossip/Musings September 10th. 2008, 5:15pm
You say San Diego, and we immediately think of Tony Gwynn, perfect weather, partying prior to the 2003 Super Bowl, and this oft-quoted exchange in Anchorman:
Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale’s vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there’s no way that’s correct.
Ron Burgundy: I’m sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don’t know what it means. I’ll be honest, I don’t think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn’t it mean Saint Diego?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that’s – that’s what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree.
And heretofore, when someone says San Diego, we’ll think of this TJ Simers column. In a word: brilliant. “The Chargers have been picked by some experts to win the Super Bowl, but the Spanos Goofs and their band of heartbreakers regularly fall shy of expectations, which might explain why the team was the only one unable to sell out the opener — a TV station buying tickets so the game could be shown here locally.”
Wow.
San Diego is a town filled with losers (LA Times)

But does TJ Simers play the jazz flute?
September 10th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
LA’s just pissed they’ve lost an NFL team. Twice
September 10th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Wow. That’s not a very effective way to make friends.

T.J. Simers seems to be an angry little fellow, doesn’t he? Seems to be in the thick of things quite often.

Coronado Beach is gorgeous.

Chargers, schmargers.
If any sane person had a choice, they’d live in San Diego in a second over LA.

Hmmm, dirty, dangerous, and fake L.A.? Or beautiful, perfect, and clean San Diego? Clearly L.A., right?
/all the morons living in L.A. that aren’t under some contract

WOW the Spanos do suck ass. But Diego is the best city in the World and Tijuana is a close 2nd if you can avoid crooked cops, the Cartel and HIV. otherwise San Diego and TJ > where ever you are right now.
SD STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

San Diego, Denver, obligatory under-exposed Western city > LA (transplant and ego-ridden douchebag capital of the US)
/Lived there for two years, couldn’t wait to get out.

Not as good as the one where she returns and Brandon cheats on Kelly with Emily while Kelly almost dies in a fire…

I cant watch that show BL. But I watched TRUE BLOOD and that show has legs
September 10th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Yes those are very minor things.

I was in TIJUANA the other day with the Homie who happens to play basketball in PUERTO RICO(so he should know about Strip Clubs), anyways we went to a place called ADELITA’s in TIJUANA. THE Quality of whore there is topnotch and he came away blown away. They also haggle over pussy price and such just in case a lap dance isnt enough. GOOD TIMES

Apparently he has some long standing beef with San Diego, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. He also references, “down here.” quite a bit in the column giving me the indication he lives here. Which would be really weird if anyone recognized him in public…

Ugh…I think San Diego is pretty great. And by the way, his statement is factually inaccurate. The Falcons game didn’t sell out either, if you use the same standards. It required two TV stations and another local corporation to buy up the tickets so it wouldn’t be blacked out.
So get your facts straight, you angry old man.

That guy is a horrible writer… couldn’t get past the first few sentences without falling asleep. Douche.
September 10th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
I think that this is actually a shot at LA (although with TJ Simers you never know since he is a hack). The first sentence is what gives it away for me: What a treat for the small-town losers in San Diego, the local yokels saddled with bad football and baseball teams again, but catching a break finally and getting a glimpse of the Los Angeles Dodgers as they move toward yet another World Series title. No autographs, please, the boys are busy preparing for the first round of the playoffs against the Cubs, which explains why they really couldn’t take the Padres seriously.
That’s so outlandish that it can’t be serious plus this column came out after the Dodgers were shut out by Cha Seung Baek.

@ Bobby Sanders… Where exactly did you live in LA? Let me guess, Hollywood or Santa Monica. And I’ll bet it was right out of college. LA area is a terrible city to live in right out of college b/c it’s too expensive.
