Jim Rome on the sack dance - New England Patriots Forums

5 Rings for Brady!! · 01-15-2007, 12:17 PM

Jim Rome said 'Lost in all this is the fact that the Chargers lost the game.'

Ouch! I think he has hit on the truth of this whole matter.

The Chargers fans and team, and the media in general, was unprepared for the Pats to win, and their reaction en masse is to divert the topic and deflect blame.

As Rome mentions, if Merriman doesn't want to see other people do his dance, then he needs to stop doing his dance and nobody will have anything to copy.

Secondly, if you don't want them dancing on your logo, you need to defend your field.

Third, the Chargers dropped the passes and made the mistakes to lose.

I feel that this whole staged 'outrage' in the media and amoung the players is just a classless reflection on the Chargers. They don't even have a mechanism to deal with the fact that they lost, showing that they never really took the Pats seriously. That's what happens when you celebrate your victory before the game starts.

Grow up, Chargers! The outrage is that you lost the damn game!

Dear Chargers,

Make you a deal: Hold serve and we won't dance on your field. Losers.

Best,
THE WORLD

dan patrick said the same thing...defend the turf and no one will dance. and if its okay for merriman to do the dance then it should be fine for the pats to do the dance

True, true true.

But, I'll put out the challenge again: Which of the other three winning teams this weekend acted like the Patriots did when they won?

Chargers have to live with themselves and own up to their loss. Patriot players ought to admit they were relieved to the point of having gone a tad bit overboard.

Rome is spot on.

Not all fans are. Too bad pats fans can't register on charger sites to respond.. even more classy.

But.. none of it really matters, does it? I am almost to the "who cares" point

Hey Bolt-boy

I guess you weren't at Foxboro last year when SD acted like a bunch of clowns when they won here. Does this quote bring back any memories?

"*** New England and *** their fans" - anonymous.
