SAN DIEGO — In a friendlier world, NFL payments would soon reach San Diego zip codes — NFL money serving as a token of appreciation to select local schools.
Led by Kevin O'Connell, the poised graduate of La Costa Canyon High and San Diego State who stands 9-2 as a rookie head coach, San Diegans have lent sparkle to this NFL season.
The Minnesota Vikings are more watchable with O'Connell and staff moving the offense's chess pieces, much as the New Orleans Saints are more bearable with graceful Chris Olave (Eastlake and Mission Hills) catching rainbows and the San Francisco 49ers are more capable with All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, the Seau-trained former Mission Hills star, directing their third-ranked defense.
