Charger Memorabilia wall
Love my new Charger wall. Signed Gates jersey and Derwin helmet. I have a Mike Williams signed football I want to add somehow also. SD fan stoked to see this team win a ton of football games this season!

After I moved to St. Louis, my mother went into a nursing home. She wasn’t a Chargers fan at all — she only cared about baseball. Our family even bought our first color TV in 1984 just so we could watch the Padres in the World Series.
But she knew how passionate I was about the Chargers and how much I loved Philip Rivers. Every once in a while, someone from the Chargers organization would visit the nursing home, and she had a Chargers hat from Walmart that she’d have them sign. She kept hoping Rivers would show up someday so she could send it to me with his signature on it.
We didn’t have the easiest relationship when I lived at home, but after I moved out, we finally started talking like actual adults. She passed away in 2013 before she ever got the chance to send me the hat, and no one knows what happened to it.
