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!
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.
One or two players talkin sh*t isn't "a bunch of clowns". Drayton Florence ran his mouth and shouldn't have. Yesterday he gave you a first down by acting like a punk. Between the bulletin board material and a free first down in the 4th quarter, he ought to be your favorite Charger right about now.
I remember well. The difference is that I only want to call out the players or coach at fault rather than put it on an entire team.
