Has anyone else noticed that Merriman has an abnormally pointed head?
Well for one, I am disappointed. One LESS thing to hate SD for. Really, its kind of impressive, and as an old school guy I'm glad.

Just heard on an interview with Shawne Merriman on Sirius NFL Radio that the Light's out dance he is noted for doing after a sack or big play in the past 2 years has come to an end.
He said the team wants to be focused on 1 thing this year and that is a championship, Shawn states he does not want to be singled out for anything and that the team is going to get serious in their quest for the title, nothing like the dance is to stand in the way of what is done on the field he claims.
Since he vows there will be no more Light's out sack dance anymore, I guess we will see if he is a man of his word. If he is and he has quit steroids he might become respectable in time.
I do think there is a decent possibility of him breaking the all-time single season sack record this year.
IMO individualistic displays of on-field joy are part of the fun of football.
I can't believe how everyone is getting so soft on Merriman. Where's the vitriol that I've come to love and expect from patsfans??? This guy is a cheating, showboating, boastful thug. So he's a good, LB; who cares? He's still a big time schmuck in my book. If anything, I hate him more now.
And yes, I've been drinking.
Except that sack dances such as those of Merrimoid and Ray the murderer (allegedly) Lewis have nothing at all to do with joy. Rather, they have everything to do with disrespect, intimidation and selfishness.
Group displays of on-field joy, OTOH, can be fun, in a somewhat sophomoric fashion. The league office should have penalized individual displays, and allowed group displays - to a point.
Yeah, well, Hobbs is "the sorriest corner in the league" (Rivers quote.)
Hate what you want about him, I think he will have a Hall of Fame career if he stays in San Diego where I think he is made for that defense. I simply cannot believe San Diego was lucky enough to get Merriman and Castillo in back to back picks.
I do not like him either but to be off on suspension for those several weeks and still have like 15 sacks on the season is downright frightening to opposing offensive lineman.No he will not get sacks every game but he is a dangerous weapon of the other side once that ball is snapped.
