Tale of the Tape: Preseason Week 1 @Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego

[Seattlehawk94]

Well, it's 2011 and it's the preseason....We here at TOTT Institute are warming up as well....You can't expect TJack to throw for 300 right out of the gate and you can't expect TOTT to be gutbustingly funny and perfect either....We were locked out too you know, Mrs. TOTT couldn't even turn on NFL Network without the faint sound of crying....Bear (not the Shitcago kind) with us....​
