...Chargers to a franchise-best 14-2 record, and since they hold home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, which start Jan. 6 (the Chargers have earned a first-round bye), the Bolts are favorites to fly to Miami, representing the American Football Conference in the Feb. 4 Super Bowl...

Last week, a gentleman left a $50 bill next to an empty bowl of soup at SAME. Since opening, one man has regularly come in and left money on the counter without eating, stating "I was blessed today so I though I'd pass it on." He's homeless...
