It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Remember He said if The Chargers and Patriots played 10 times The Chargers would win 9.Well,wrong again LT .No brains ,no spine ,no balls,and no heart,Nice disguise on the sidelines.
Tomlinson is a great player, a lock HOFer. He obviously has a bum knee, gave it a go and knew he couldn't help the team. I think it's juvenile that some Pat fans are kicking him when he's down. It's enough that our team won this game. We don't have to spit on the competition. SD played nobly in defeat, and the fact LDT was hurt doesn't diminish him as a player.
Tomlinson was not there today for his team mates. He sat on that bench with his shaded helmet on his head all wrapped up in a paraa. Why wasn't he in a stocking cap, leaning on crutches, shouting encouragement to his team, and helping coaches with intel and spotting.Tomlinson is a great player, a lock HOFer.

I think you're a bit wrong. This is not High School. LT was up on multiple occasions also. It added drama to show him sitting down so you ASSUMED that he was sitting the whole game. How many times did it show LT sitting? twice. Plus, pros aren't forced to stand on the sidelines and cheer on their teammates like HS players are. The bench is packed full of players and coaches in an NFL game.Tomlinson was not there today for his team mates. He sat on that bench with his shaded helmet on his head all wrapped up in a paraa.

LT may be a great running back, but I have rarely seen him provide much leadership. Today, seeing him sit on the bench in full armor was tragic and pathetic. His team needed him...if not in the game..on the sidelines letting them know he was with them not pouting about himself. Class? Right.
Bleichick would have sent him packing if he saw that.

Pony,
You are correct. However, we are diminishing him as a person. He talks a big game...loves the podium and always is good for a soundbite. In the end, this year ended the same way last year did...with slumped and said and coming up short as a player and person. The Heck with him!
I'm going to give LDT the benefit of the doubt here. He's been a warrior for alot of years in the NFL, playing a full season on a torn groin. He was probably devastated he couldn't help his team on the field.
The bench is not loaded with Ladainian Tomlinsons. I understand your defending your guy, and I can appreciate that, but from the time I watched LT sit out the pre-season, have his hissyfits on camera with Rivers, through his press interviews and his TV appearances, I have just become more and more convinced LT is about LT not the SD Chargers.I think you're a bit wrong.

thanks a lot but that doesn't fill in the hole in my heart lol. you guys deserved it man.The bench is not loaded with Ladainian Tomlinsons.

That's a personal perception, and I'm not saying it is accurate, but that's the way it appears to me.
BTW...I really think you guys have enormous amounts of talent and depth. I wish you guys the very best for the 2008 season. You have been worthy adversaries, and I have never sweated playing any team this year as much as I sweated having to play the Chargers in the AFCCG.
Like I said, ESPN has really set out to make the Chargers as a team look like hypocrites. LT calls out the Pats, thus ESPN has to call out the Chargers. Rivers' antics are nothing that every other QB in the league does, they just focus in on him. Why do you think that you see more of the Chargers' sideline than any other team also? It's because it's turned into a big, drama filled soap opera, or at least that's why ESPN wants you to think. Players get upset with each other, it's football. Players talk smack, it's football.
The "nine times out of ten" thing sounds stupid because nobody has beat the Patriots that consistently, the only team that really even comes close was the Broncos before they started to stink. Brady doesn't become the youngest QB to beat all 32 teams by losing nine times out of ten. If you're not gonna respect what the Pats have done through this decade, the least you can do is realize that it can happen to you if you don't bring your A game (or play more than two drives).
Hating somebody doesn't add up to much if you don't make it happen on the field.
Well when your team becomes a media fixation, you know they are moving up in the food chain. Welcome to the club, it doesn't get any less annoying.
