Chump Change Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Here's a nice article on the new Chargers GM, Tom Telesco who was raised in the Village of Hamburg. The dudes fives years younger than me and while I never knew him, it's kind of cool that he and I grew up 1/2 mile from each other. I've been in SD since 1987 and have never been able to bring myself to root for the Chargers, but that may change now. I sincerely hope he does well. http://www.utsandieg...-pack-pedigree/ Edited January 14, 2013 by Chump Change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 And the last GM was A.J. Smith who worked for the Bills. Somebody in S.D. likes western New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) My home town, well the town of hamburg not the village. Although I did live in the village for a few years, don't recognize the name however. Wonder if he attended Hamburg High, most likely not frontier since he is from the village.

NoSaint Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) ill copy this post i wrote from a thread about london fletcher but how crazy is this set of connections: Also of note: I didn't connect the dots that London was a college teammate of josh mcdaniels (wonder child 30 year old head coach, current pats OC), and Brian polian(Stanford special teams coach, polian namesake) and nick caserio (pats dir of pro personal by about age 32/33) . Also just missing overlap with Chris polian (polian namesake, colts former GM), David Caldwell (One if the hottest names for GM interviews), Tom telesco(top dog with the colts), and Greg roman (harbaughs OC in San Fran). Depending on how outgoing seniors and incoming freshman/recruiting played out its possible little John Carroll had all those major football role players in one room for some meetings (might've missed by one year on chris polian but don't want to double check). Odd tidbit for JCU in 1994. Edited January 15, 2013 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd tidbit for JCU in 1994. JCU is not Notre Dame but their education system far outweighs the football team. My brothers best friend attended JCU. He was my hero growing up. It was 97/98 that he went there, then dropped out as his bipolar issues arose. He tookhis life shortly after. His brother Joe went on to Penn State and became the first true freshman walk on to start for Paterno, and bounced to a few teams in the NFL a while.

HOUSE Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If he learned about football living in Buffalo, the Chargers will finish 7-9 for the next 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWest Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I live in San Diego too and work for The Padres-You just know deep down inside Telesco is a Bills fan-You cant change that-He was a ball boy from 90-94, and was friends with Polian's son! ...You say you may be able to root for The Chargers now? Come on!-They once had: AJ Smith, John Butler, Doug Flutie, Marcellus Wiley, Steve Christie and Doug Flutie here...If that wasnt enough to get you to pull for them , I doubt this new GM will get you excited-They are following a simlar blueprint to Buffalo with the young hires of GM and coach.

Chump Change Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have never had it within me to root for any other AFC team than the Bills. I've never been a big fan of the Spanos family, but I'm suffering from Bills fatigue. This is from a guy who went to my first game at the Rockpile waaaay back when with my dad.

ronnieroscoe Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I literally lived around the block from him...I'm about six years older and clearly remember him being about ten and playing basketball in his driveway with his father who was pretty long and lanky.....while the rest of us bigger kids played street hockey or tackle football...and he went by Tommy then..I went off to college so never saw him since he was about 12...also to clarify not village but town of Hamburg off Taylor rd...

BillsFanNC Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I grew up in the village and I'm one year older than him, but I don't recognize the name. I'm assuming he went to St. Francis with Polian's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
