Chargers' Wiley Happy in Carson

[Gunzlingr]

Defensive end Marcellus Wiley walked onto the picture-perfect green practice fields at the Home Depot National Training Center on Tuesday afternoon and tried his best to explain why the San Diego Chargers were in Carson and not their traditional training camp at UC San Diego in La Jolla.

"I don't have my politics hat on today, so I don't know what is going on behind the scenes," said Wiley, who grew up in Compton, less than a 15-minute drive from the Home Depot Center. "It's a five-year plan for us to be up here, and I think it's to extend our market. San Diego is our home and I guess this is our guest house."

After spending the previous 27 years at UC San Diego, the Chargers will hold their first official practice at the Home Depot Center today when Coach Marty Schottenheimer puts rookies and selected veterans through their first workouts

The Chargers are coming! The Chargers are coming!

Are the Chargers coming?

Actually, a two-part question.

The answer to the first part is, absolutely.

For the first time, the Chargers will open training camp today with rookies and selected veterans at the new Home Depot Center in Carson.

The answer to the second part gets more interesting, but is looking more likely by the day.

In just two weeks, the Chargers will probably learn a new stadium deal in San Diego is a no-go and can begin focusing their attention on moving to Los Angeles.

Yessiree, we're talking Los Angeles' original lost athletic son, returning to its home of one season after a little 43-year stayover down south.
