Christmas Comes Late For San Diego Chargers

Still don’t know why it didn’t happen after last season, but like just about every Chargers fan out there, I’ll take it. Head coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith are headed out of San Diego … finally.

Owner Dean Spanos said early today that his only goal is the Super Bowl. Hopefully he hires a head coach and GM who are on the same page. Enough is enough. Too much talent within this franchise this past decade, with nothing to show for it.

Let’s get it together, already. I miss spending my fall Sundays at The Q with my crew.

Can’t help but think of Mitch and Murray’s guy Blake and the greatest motivational speech ever. – PP

V’s Gets Me On The Scene And Looking Clean

Wanted to give a shout-out to my man Ariel Avezov over at V’s Barbershop in Scottsdale.  Told him last time he took care of me that I was going to show him some love on the site. 

Head down to his spot off E. Greenway Parkway, tell ‘em Double P sent you and get the works. Not that he’ll do anything for you, but at least he’ll know that I spread the word.

Also make sure not to shave for a few days, too. Hot Lather Shave. Facial and Face Massage. Haircut. The works, man. A whole new ballgame. Whatever the hell that means.

He’s also right next door to Ra, so pop over for a Sapporo, some sake and a roll when you’re done.

Oh yeah, the “on the scene and looking clean” reference is from one of the best movies you’ve never seen, “Sol Goode”. Check the trailer and download or rent it. Underrated gem. You’ll thank me. – PP

Make It A Pro Compression Holiday Season

A quick plug for Eric Smith and my guys over at ProCompression.com, who crafted a customized red/black “PP” compression golf sock for me this past season.

I’ve been a sock geek for as long as I can remember, so when approached by the Pro Compression guys, it was a no-brainer. I literally threw out every pair of golf socks I owned and filled my drawer with some red-and-black foot magic, Tweeting out the above pic to let everyone know.

In all seriousness, if you are out of holiday-themed ideas, order some of these socks for the other golf-sock-geeks in your world. They’re that good. I swear. – PP

It isn’t the holidays without some ‘Bad Santa’ and the 1:17 to 1:19 clip has been my ringtone for almost a year. Love me some Thurman Merman. – PP

Dear Santa, please bring a new team, coaches and a real GM to the San Diego football franchise. Tired of this organization resembling a dumpster fire. Thanks Pal. – PP

RIGHT TOYOTA

I met Jay Francis soon after moving to Scottsdale over a decade ago and consider him one of my closer friends, as well as someone who’s taught me a lot over the years. An all-around great guy, a stand-up family man and when it comes to his dealership, it’s the tightest-run ship in town. First class on every level and I’ve purchased many a car through Right, or the parent company, the Wilson Automotive Group. I’ve sent hundreds of friends, family and acquaintances to Right or Wilson and they’ve all become lifers. 
 
Like me, Jay is also an Arizona State diehard and also like me he hopes to see another Rose Bowl appearance in his lifetime.

PRO COMPRESSION

I’ve known Eric Smith, the founder of Pro Compression, for over a decade. He gave me some socks in late 2011 and after one wear, I was sold. I gave away every pair of golf socks immediately and those guys geared me up for the 2012 season, even creating a custom red and black “PP” sock for me, as well as a “619″ powder blue and white sock, in honor of my hometown Chargers. 
 
People often ask me why Pro Compression and aside from the quality of the sock and what compression gear does to keep the blood flowing and me energetic after eighteen holes, I was sold once I realized me foot didn’t move in my shoe. Period. As my caddy how much money we’ve spent in pro shops on overpriced socks, wanting nothing more than comfort and to limit movement. Pro Compression nailed it and that’s why I back Eric and those guys.

DISCOVERY LAND CO.

I met Discovery owner Mike Meldman years back and hit it off immediately. Top to bottom, everyone at Discovery has treated me like family and has been great to me. I’m very grateful for the relationship and the friendships that have come out of getting to know Mike. 
 
Over the past few years I’ve spent a ton of down time and the off-season at a handful of their gorgeous properties. Baker’s Bay in the Bahamas. Gozzer Ranch up in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho every July. El Dorado down in Cabo for a great member-guest every winter. Madison and The Hideaway out in La Quinta when I need to get in some practice when in the desert. Everything, and everyone, is first-class. 
 
As great as the Discovery crew is, the members are all solid folks, as well. I’ve made a lot of friends over the years and again, everyone welcomed me in day one. A lot of great in-season and off-season memories have been made at all the properties. Always looking forward to my next Discovery experience.
