OT: Merriman: Broncos were incredibly disrespectful

[carolinatony]

I guess the Broncos have no Class as well as us in the Chargers eyes


Tom Sheridan and Scott Bair of the North County Times report Monday night's clash between the Chargers and rival Denver got started a little early. A pregame jawing session turned into a full-scale war of words between the squads during warm-ups.

The Broncos walked on to the field en masse, traveling right by a few stretching Chargers players. It's unclear exactly how the fracas began, but outside linebacker Shaun Phillips and Broncos defense lineman Kenny Peterson were at the center of the scrum.

That attracted players from all over the field, including several Chargers impact players. Shawne Merriman removed Phillips from the middle and took over as chief "negotiator" along with inside linebacker Stephen Cooper.

"They came out and were incredibly disrespectful," Merriman said. "We couldn't just let it go. Not in our own building."

Well, everyone knows the Chargers understand what disrespectful means. After all, they're the gold standard for it.

I guess Coach Belichick taught Josh McDaniels well.

Hoo, boy! Merriman better not watch NFL Live today, because Dilfer anointed the Broncos as the "Classy" team of the NFL. So sorry, Chargers. Looks like the Donks come into your house and took away the game, your hopes for a division win AND your Classy Awards all in one night! OUCH!

San Diego still hasn't figured out that their window of opportunity has already closed.

My favourite quote from this article. Hey Shawne.. you could have tried beating them to counteract this disrespect.

If Merriman thought they were so disrespectful, he should have actually done something about it. As far as I can see, that guy was invisible throughout the entire game. I kind of like it that way though. If he's invisible, that means that we don't have to see that ridiculous dance.
