It was the first day at work for the Chargers rookie players. The players spent the last few days taking their NFL headshots, trying on their jerseys, and getting ready for their first taste of action.
It also was the first day of coaching for Brandon Staley and his coaching staff. This was their first on-the-field coaching session. Right off the bat, Staley and his staff was to ease in the rookies and not overwhelm them. “It was a big goal of ours to show that to these guys, to get them off to a good start,” said Staley after practice. “We felt like we wanted to create a safe environment today. As you saw, we had no helmets on. We really wanted a more workout environment, where there’s a great pace, where these guys can really concentrate and focus and not have that pressure on them with pads or helmets.”

“The Chargers losing is as good as the Padres winning,” said a smiling Lopez while he stood in his Otay Ranch restaurant.
Giving away free food is a tough call, considering what Lopez’s restaurants and the industry endured during the pandemic.
“People are still reluctant to come and eat,” Lopez said. “We suffered to a certain extent, not as much as other restaurants.”
Lopez said he hoped the Tatis Tacos would celebrate something good in the community and build up more business.
“You got to spend to make money, and that’s what we’re going to do,” Lopez said.

It all started with an announcement Monday from the San Diego County Office of Education. The agency was seeking teachers who could support an educational program being developed for the girls ages 13-17, who recently crossed the border and are awaiting processing to determine whether and with whom they can stay in the country.
The girls are likely to stay here up to a month each and the shelter will operate out of the Convention Center until July.
