The Sound of Silence is Sweet

Not too long ago, the San Diego Chargers were "riding high" coming into the 2007 season, inwhich they felt it was "their" year. After the Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears, the Chargers took their words to the media. Linebacker Shaun Phillips was one of the more noticeable players in the media. Calling Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson "soft" following the Chargers win.
Now.. sure, it could be true, and the "Bears are who we thought they were," but was it really necessary to say? Apparently.
Then, after the spygate scandal, Chargers running back LT commented on Belichick and the Patriots by saying "I think the Patriots actually live by the saying 'If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'" Of course, LT must not have been around last year when Chargers linebacker Shawne Steriman.. sorry, Merriman was suspended for 4 games for using steroids. If LT didn't think that quote would be locker room material for the Pats, then he must live in a black hole. Of course, the Patriots crushed San Diego 38-14 that Sunday night.
Apparently the Patriots had bad character and bad taste last January, after Ellis Hobbs imitated Shawne Merriman's sack dance "Lights out." I guess it's okay for the Chargers to dish it out, but they can't receive it.
Now, after 3 consecutive losses to New England, Green Bay and Kansas City... there is no talking. Infact, the only sound coming out of San Diego is the sound of tears... and the chant of "Marty, Marty, Marty"
Way to go San Diego Chargers... your 1-3 record sure looks good on ya!!!
SILENCE IS SWEET.
