After signing a contract with the Padres he said in an interview, “The Chargers left, and I signed right after that. The more I thought about it I was like, ‘Crap. This is crazy!’ Not to sound all arrogant, but it’s kind of like I’m the face of San Diego sports now." 

Quote about Mexican food in San Diego: "I've said this on a couple occasions, and people get really mad at me. I enjoy East Coast Mexican food a little better. Yeah, wow. I grew up on it. That's just what my taste is, but there's nothing wrong with San Diego Mexican food."
