By Andy Nesbitt, FOXSports.com The San Diego Chargers prepared for their final preseason game of the year by holding their walk-through on the deck of the U.S.S. Ronald Regan. Now that's pretty cool, and so are the photos from event. The team's general manager, Tom Telesco, explained to Chargers.com how the idea was born:
“San Diego is a military town and the Chargers are a part of this community,” said general manager Tom Telesco. “So to come out and thank everybody from the sailors to the navy community, for us, is rewarding. When I first arrived here in January, Vice Admiral (David) Buss invited me over to his house for dinner with his wife, and it was a really nice gesture by them to welcome me to this city. I told him at the time if there was ever a way to do anything for him, I'd do it, and I knew the Chargers in the past had practice on an aircraft carrier. So it was a great idea, and it’s a way to thank them for their support.”
