Time to empty the notebook from my recent chat with former NFL guard Steve Neal, a San Diego High alum and Poway resident.
The topic this time was San Diego sports fandom, and Neal’s Quixotic desire for San Diego athletes to someday enjoy the home-crowd support akin to what he enjoyed in New England with the Patriots.
Neal, 41, was a Super Bowl champion with three Pats teams. As an amateur wrestler, he was a world champion.
He’s a longtime fan of San Diego sports teams, another extreme form of sports labor .
