A graduate of the University of Washington, Tom Spetter has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical sales industry. Beyond his work in pharmaceuticals, Tom Spetter is an avid football fan. In addition to following University of Washington Huskies football, he enjoys following professional teams such as the Seattle Seahawks and the San Diego Chargers.
In 1963, the San Diego Chargers established themselves as one of the most successful expansion teams of all time. Having already made consecutive championship appearances in their first two seasons as an American Football League (AFL) franchise, the Chargers rebounded from a disappointing 4-10 1962 season by reaching the AFL Championship game once again, this time with a different outcome. The 1963 Chargers had enjoyed an 11-3 regular season before squaring off against the Boston Patriots in the AFL Championship. With the league’s top ranked offense and defense, San Diego experienced no resistance whatsoever in the team’s third championship showing. Quarterback Tobin Rote put up 610 yards compared to just 261 yards for Babe Parilli and the Patriots. The Chargers won the game, and championship, by the convincing score of 51-10. San Diego would continue to exceed expectations as an expansion team, reaching the AFL Championship in both 1964 and 1965, making for five championship runs over the franchise’s first six seasons. Unfortunately, the Chargers failed to match these heights during the Super Bowl era, and ahead of the 2018 National Football League (NFL) season, the franchise relocated to Los Angeles.
