It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I can't be bothered to look up why the Pats did this, but didn't the Chargers start it by doing this to somebody else, and/or the Chargers celebrated after every sack, or something? These days the Pats are portrayed as having "started it," but I remember it was a reaction to something the Chargers did first.
Ahh yes, the Merriman sack dance. That's what started it...Then they cried like babies when they got a taste of their own medicine.They were extremely arrogant before the game. A lot of them were talking trash saying our dynasty was over (Vrabel commented on that) and Merriman in particular thumped his chest at a pre game pep rally bragging that he was going to punch Tom Brady in the face or something like that.
They had it coming imo.
I could be wrong but I think the Pats did start it. I don’t know if it was Reche Caldwell who started it but I know he was involved and was a former Charger. To be fair Merriman’s “Lights Out” dance was stupid.I can't be bothered to look up why the Pats did this, but didn't the Chargers start it by doing this to somebody else, and/or the Chargers celebrated after every sack, or something?

They absolutely had it coming. Bunch o punks.They were extremely arrogant before the game and just a ****y team in general.

On top of that, I think the Pats were still peeved at the Chargers running their mouths when they beat the Pats in the 2005 regular season game -- I think the dynasty being over comments stemmed from that postgame, not specifically prior to the 2006 game.They were extremely arrogant before the game and just a ****y team in general.

LOL
Funny seeing Colvin and Warren talking trash near the SD locker room and Wilfork mocking the lights out dance

One of the greatest post-season wins in team history.

Oct. 2, 2005: Chargers 41, Patriots 17
(from the previous story posted)The sideshow: Walking off the field after the game, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips yelled to no one in particular, “That's an (rear end)-whippin' right there.” Cornerback Drayton Florence poured gasoline on the fire by adding, “(Expletive) New England and their team. Get the look of shock off your faces. We beat your (rear end).” Those quotes weren't widely reported at the time, but the Patriots would recall them 15 months later.
Other teams aren't dumb enough to celebrate on the Gillette field, anymore, either.We were different back then. Nowadays, I think we show too much respect for other teams, especially when the other team trash talks us all week leading up to the game.
PainfulI didn't like it at the time. I don't care who or what started it.
I also didn't like the Pats mocking the Jete flying routine after the regular season 45-3 rout in 2010 either. That one came back to bite them big time in the playoffs.
