it's not HS. Starters go to the bench when they're not on the field. Not everyone is standing up and ra-ra about the team. I know he was upset though. The biggest game in his career and he couldn't play.

Yeah, regardless of what his injury was or wasn't, Tomlinson should have been at the front of the sidelines shouting encouragement and support to his team mates...he could have used crutches. He puncked out in other games this year refusing to sit beside Rivers and showing attitude a number of times....like last week.

LT lost a whole lot of his self-proclaimed class this year. Rivers played like a top shelf quarterback most of the year.

Ummm..... he was cleared to play. He did play. And, after making a token appearance, he sat on the bench to film his next commercial. At least this time he didn't have to look in his closet to find a helmet and watch the game, huh?

He also uses Vizios. I mean, they're fine budget tvs, but if you're got a Vizio with an NFL player's salary, clearly there's something wrong with you.

I have seen many injured stars help out any way they can, by helping the coaches or just cheering on their teammates.

That was a weird thing he was doing.

This post speaks volumes........A real leader leads, whether he's playing or not. And yeah you're right, this isn't HS. Maybe someone should clue your star RB in on that fact.

I used to think Rivers was the Bolts problem. I now know otherwise.

Ridiculous. I have seen many starters off the bench firing up their team, especially when they are trailing. I've seen many even on the bench telling the guys they are doing great and giving oral support. LT sat there with his helmet on the entire time doing nothing. Who cares if he was upset? If his entire team was upset from losing he did nothing to try and curb that. So what if he can't play. Don't sulk and be pissed when your team is trying ther damndest to get you to where you want to be. He didn't do his job as a leader.
