"...no class at all. Absolutely no class."

11
Vote

by Theredking

As if LT didn't make himself look stupid enough by opening his big mouth after his playoff loss last season against the Patriots -- now look what his teammates are upto yet again. Notice the score to the game at the beginning of the video. The Chargers have proven over the past few years to be very unlikeable, at least in my eyes.

Merriman is a juicer and on top of that is one of the biggest show boaters in the league. When LT spoke up after their loss to the Patriots last year that was the first time I have ever heard the All-Pro act like a leader and what an awful time to start.

> "And I can't sit there and watch that. And so, yeah, I was very upset. And just the fact that they showed no class at all. Absolutely no class. And maybe that comes from their head coach. So you know, there you have it."

The Chargers had been jawing all week and during the game, but LT is going to take offense to the winning team celebrating a closely contended game AFTER the victory by doing YOUR teammates ridiculous celebration dance?

Needless to say that was when I lost all respect for LT. He should be a team leader with that talent but you never see him doing anything but padding his own statistics. The team has so, so much young talent but somehow the team just can't take the next step. It would seem to be a leadership and management issue because it certainly is not a personnel issue.

The only thing more atrocious than LT's attitude is the Chargers front office. Good thing the Cromartie gamble payed off big time because the overhaul of the coaching staff certainly has not.

It just seems like a very hate-able organization at this point. An organization with no direction that would seemingly be happy just winning the division. Which brings up the point why fire Marty then? He was achieving your organizations goals.

Yeah, I respect LT a lot as a player, but it seems like he just lost his marbles after the Bolts got beat in the playoffs last year. He comes off as a douche bag now, as do the rest of his teammates, at least to me as a Patriots fan. And last night certainly didn't help the Chargers' image as a team.

To be fair to LT and the Chargers, they're pretty much like everyone else in the NFL. They'll talk trash, they'll be cocky. Then when the tables are turned, they'll complain about someone else doing it. As much as I dislike the Chargers, this kind of stuff probably happens all the time with every team, it just isn't as clear on the sidelines, or as well illustrated on TV.

Sure, trash talking goes on in the trenches, but these guys just aren't smart about it and thats why they get portrayed this way. They carry it into the public eye.

This is quite a pointless article. That's a major rival they are facing and they are supposed to "play it nice"? What nonsense. Oh wait.....a Patriots fan....let it go.

They said during the game that Champ Bailey said he used to be friends with Phillip Rivers, but now he can't stand him. What is the reason for that?

I remember a few weeks ago the last time the Packers played the Lions and FOX opening up their broadcast with Nick Barnett and Dominic Raiola jawing back and forth in the tunnel prior to pregame intros. As staged as it may have seemed, it serves as an example that the trash talking happens a lot more in the public eye than you might imagine.

For this reason I don't think the Chargers are any more classless than the next team. Besides, did you see the Packers-Bears game this weekend? How many near-fights were there in that game (not including the Barnett-referee tussle)?

So let me get this straight: Your gonna use a clip from two rival teams, that are in game talking back and forth, out of context mind you, to prove a point about an incident that is a year old? Are you out of your freaking mind? Don't be so petty for goodness sake. This is beyond transparent and I'm dyed in the wool Charger hater.

Dude, if you don't like the Chargers and LT that's fine whatever. But your point isn't made by the evidence presented and beyond that your point when matched with the evidence is absurd. Talking back and forth between Jay Cutler and a couple of Chargers in the middle of a lop sided game makes LT classless and hateable? No the Vizio commericals make LT hateable, but I digress.

Warren Sapp got back-to-back-to-back unsportsmanlike conduct penalties this Sunday and I don't see articles written about his lack of class, no matter how apparent. So enjoy the tissues or cyring towel I'm going to send you because you gotta suck it up buddy.

I'm not buying what your selling.

The Chargers talk crap to their rivals when up 20 points...

The Patriots go for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter up by 30 points...

Lack of class has no weight, but if these has mass, they would be at least equal if not less classy to do what the Pats do. I don't have a problem with either team doing what they did, but don't call the kettle black if your the tea pot.

It's nice to see somebody tell the truth about LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers. I hate them both as a Bronco fan and a Patriots fan. They are not classy, they are a whiny bunch of jerks.

I was thinking the same thing LA. He's also a Red Sox Fan and a Rockies fan. That must have been a nice World Series for him.

Yes, it was a nice World Series, except that I wanted the Rockies to win. I also like the Indians, by the way, so my three favorite teams all made it to the LCS, and two made it to the World Series.

Anyway, it might be expected that I would hate the Chargers, but my point is still valid. If you lose, you have no right to whine if the other team mocks one of your showboating teammates.

Wow is this article humorous.

A) A Patriots fan calling another team classy.

B) A Patriots fan disliking a SD player because he is a "juicer."

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but if you dislike classless juicers so much, how on earth could you be a Patriots fan? I mean while the Patriots are clearly the "class" of the NFL when it comes to talent, no one is going to them "classy," certainly not after getting caught cheating. As for the juicer claim, I can't think of anything more moronic than for a fan of a team with Rodney Harrison to bitch that some other team's player is a juicer.

Just because LT is a great talent doesn't mean he should be a great leader... There are leaders that don't talk at all (Chase Utley ring a bell) and there are leaders who don't shut up (ex: Ray Lewis)... Guess what? Both type of leaders are necessary for a team's success... but just because some players are amazingly talented doesn't mean that they need to be leaders, its just a trait that either a person has or doesn't... I mean, (possibly the greatest baseball player ever) A-rod, how good a leader is he? btw, Luis Castillo... 'roids as well...

Absolutely true. One could say that Harrison was rehabbing an Merriman, I believe, was not. More importantly, Harrison is a proven leader and a team benefits greatly from him on HGH or off HGH.

Uhhh HGH is a banned PED in the NFL.

The team benefits from a cheater.

Rivers may be an idiot, but Cutler's actions aren't noted here. Before they game, he did just as much jawing as the Chargers. He spent most of the pre-game talkin' trash and couldn't back it up during the game. Both teams are at fault, but its part of the game. If you can't back it up, don't start it.

Why the hell are Phillip Rivers and Jay Cutler even trash talking in the first place?

Maybe if they spent less energy yapping and more focus on the field, these two idiots would play better.

I don't recall Montana, Young, Favre, Elway, etc. being noted smack talkers. Might be something to that....
