LaDainian - sore loser crybaby

Michigan

Come on LaDainian, it has been three days on Wednesday since you complained about a couple of Pats dancing on the Chargers logo
and you are still at it. Move on and forget it, I'll bet if the game was played in Foxboro and the Chargers won and danced on the Pats
logo you wouldn't be complaining about it.

In all fairness, it's not like he has a game this weekend to focus on. He's probably just bored.

Lets get one thing clear here. Just because LT went overboard and made himself look like a jerk does not excuse the Pats. Doing a dance the other team always does at the other teams fans is pretty poor sportsmanship as well. In the same vain as the analogy above, why is it okay for the Pats to do it, but TO gets vilified for doing the same thing. Not that I am defending TO. He deserved what he got. The Pats should be getting similar treatment, if for not other reason than so kids see that it is wrong. I want to re-emphasize, this does not excuse for what LT did. They should both be getting the same treatment. But everybody is so in love with the Pats that they can do no wrong. This is a shame as it is sending a lousy message to the kids.

It's a logo on the field... you know, the field that the game is played on. Who cares where the winning team chose to dance? I don't care about the TO thing either. I personally thought it was hilarious, but then again I hated Dallas. Endzones also have team names in them, so should players not be able to dance in the end zone either? It's all silly as hell and Tomlinson is being a baby. Again, the dance was done on the field where the game was just played. Who cares what kinda dance it was either? If the 'roider Merriman was offended, he should consider how it appears to others when he celebrates in this fashion.

kcballboy

For one we don't need to say the Pats like 53 players and 10 coaches were out there doing a dance. It was 2-3 players.

So the next time Merriam gets a sack on the road at midfield and is doing his little jig and happens to be on the other teams logo, he needs to get beat down while LT watches, unable to say anything because it is obviously a sin to dance on a logo, and his classy, convicted 'roid user, teammate should've known better.

This whole thing is stupid. It was a celebration.

LT, just drop it allready. You lost, go home. Crybaby's aren't classy.

He wouldn't have been that classless. No one on the Chargers did it earlier in the season. I agree with Reiny(and I've stated this before) those Pats should've been knocked like TO was knocked when he posed on the star in Dallas. Personally, if I was a member of the Chargers team I wouldn't care what fine was levied against me, that's what I would've done.

"So the next time Merriam gets a sack on the road at midfield and is doing his little jig and happens to be on the other teams logo, he needs to get beat down while LT watches, unable to say anything because it is obviously a sin to dance on a logo, and his classy, convicted 'roid user, teammate should've known better."

They didn't do it during the game, as Merriman does. They didn't have the cojones to do it during the game.

The only thing I disagree with, is the talking that went on after the incident. In my mind, it shouldve been left on the field. If the Chargers took that much offense to it, then deal with it when it happens, don't talk about it in the dang press conference. There are classless individuals in every organization, and those few showed up for the Pats after the game. Clearly, it's not the whole organization. But to say there aren't some classless guys on that team, your fooling yourself. Merriman wouldn't do that dance postgame to oneup his opponent, he'll do it during the game.

dallasactuary

I wonder how much LT has to pay the guy who holds his purse while he gives these interviews?

MPeter

His mouthguard is probably a baby nipple!!! Anybody check to see if that's a jock under his uniform or a diaper?

When the visiting team in baseball or basketball wins a huge game, they celebrate on the field/court without the uproar.

<< <i>They didn't do it during the game, as Merriman does. They didn't have the cojones to do it during the game. >>



So it's classy if done during the game but not classy after the game?

I would think it would take more cojones to do it in the onfield chaos after the game. The other team isn't worried about getting a 15 yarder. Their season's over. There's no ref to uphold the law. If a guy is getting beat down in a large crowd of people after a game, would that not be harder to find than if it was happening onfield during the game?

Yeah. If David Ortiz jacks a game winner in New York, are they insulting the Yankees when everyone goes to celebrate and jump up and down when he crosses the plate.

Afterall, it is the Yankees plate.

I guess that's the tradeoff, football players get to fail drug tests, and baseball players get to celebrate on the road, all without backlash.

As I understand it wasn't just that they danced on the logo. They did the Chargers dance, or at least, a dance that one of them does after sacks. Could be Merriman I did not hear who's it was. The point is that every Charger knew darn well what they were doing. I would imagine some of the fans did as well. It's not as if they were merely celebrating. They took a deliberate shot at the Chargers on national television. I really do not care myself, but it sends a bad message to all the kids watching when nobody says its wrong to do that. They were all in the wrong. One other thing, I do not want my previous TO comments, "In the same vain as the analogy above, why is it okay for the Pats to do it, but TO gets vilified for doing the same thing. Not that I am defending TO. He deserved what he got. The Pats should be getting similar treatment, if for not other reason than so kids see that it is wrong.", to imply in any way that I like the Cowboys. I am a Redskin fan and cannot stand the Cowboys. It's just that the fact remains the Pats' players did pretty much the same thing he did, but did not get criticized for it while he was vilified.

Homeplate=Endzone. Come on now. The correct comparison is if Ortiz knocked a dinger for the game winner, touched home and then went on the Yankee insignia behind home plate and danced. I know you don't get to see many game winners from KC, but think before you reply.

I THINK it is a reasonable comparison and I also don't THINK you're showing much class by knocking the quality of the team that I root for.

Obviously I touched a nerve since I was only reiterating what Stown said and you chose to attack my comment and my team. I was only using the Yankees as an example that everyone could relate to. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, OK LT junior?

Let me try a different example and maybe you can catch on this time. I will even pull one from real life that doesn't affect your Yankees. When the Cardinals beat the Tigers in Detroit to win the World Series last year, they were celebrating on the pitcher's mound which, if you are familiar with a baseball field, is in the center of the field, which would be comparable to the fifty yardline in football. True there isn't a logo, but what is a logo? Painted grass. It's painted grass and that's it.

Why does no one complain about endzone celebrations when almost every single endzone has the name of the home team painted on the grass? What is the difference?

The bottom line is that LT is being a huge tool by not just shutting up. I have always respected LT and his actions have caught me way off guard. It is time for him to drop it.

dirtmonkey

It's a logo, it's a silly dance. Who really cares... other than a crybaby? To me, it's more disrespectful to celebrate & dance (like Merriman) in a guys face during a game than it is anywhere on the field after the game. Don't get me wrong, if the Patriots intent was to disrespect the Chargers than their lack of sportmanship shows a lack of good character. But Tomlinson whining for days afterwards is pathetic and he is the only one looking bad after his comments.

ToppsCo1lector

Oh, now Mr. Sensitive comes out. Look, you used my team for a comparison; when in reality neither the Chargers nor the Patriots can truely compare with the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry. I'm sorry your team sucks, the Yankees sure siphoned off a helluvalot of talent from KC back in the old days.

First you compare home plate, then the pitchers mound, and now the endzone to the 50 yard line. Are you going to just keep throwing out a whole bunch of different comparisons(that, in each of their own rights are equal comparisons)? Like I said homeplate=endzone. 50 yard line equates to the large hometeam logo behind home plate. Not the pitchers mound. Come on now.

"I THINK it is a reasonable comparison and I also don't THINK you're showing much class by knocking the quality of the team that I root for."

Hey, you brought my favorite team into the fray. Is it no suprise that I'd bring up the lowly KC Royals into this banter? Relax, you're the one talking like Tomlinson.

stown

<< <i>50 yard line equates to the large hometeam logo behind home plate. Not the pitchers mound. Come on now. >>



Sorry but I have to disagree with you there. The pitcher's mound is more like the 50 rather than behind home plate because it's the center and focal point of the field.

I saw 1st hand the White Sox doing it after winning the World Series. I didn't like it but it's not like I lost respect for them as an organization. I just turned my head away and moped out of the stadium

And to no one in particular, let's lay off talking trash. This discussion has nothing to with "my team is better than yours"

kcballboy

What does it matter what teams I used as examples? Are the Yankees that high and mighty that they can never be used as a losing team in a HYPOTHETICAL situation? Let me try again.

If Billy Butler jacks a game winner, on the road, against an imaginary AA baseball with no ties to the Yankees, are they insulting said imaginary AA baseball team with no ties to the Yankees when everyone goes to celebrate and jump up and down when he crosses the plate?

You're acting like (a random booted member) with your stupid trash talk banter that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Just because someone mentions the Yankees doesn't mean they are attacking you and you have to give some juvenille comment about my team. I'm sorry that my Royals aren't competitive enough for you. I thought the Royals and Yankees had a pretty good system worked out. We develop the talent and you give us $25 million a year in luxury tax.

Edited; I'm done now by the way.

ToppsCo1lector

So which comparison is it gonna be? The home plate, the pitchers mound, the end zone? Come on, pick one and stick with your arguement. Hey, if you are content as a fan that your owner would rather pocket the money that the luxury tax is; then actually invest in your favorite team, more power to you. I couldn't support a team that had an owner like that. I guess the Yankees only buy talent right? uhhuh.

Show me where I said that. I think you have become so paranoid as a Yankee fan that you think every small market fan hates you. I don't care about the Yankees or what they do, just like I don't care about what any of the other teams do.

If there is a question of less importance, I can not even imagine what it might be. I never thought twice about LT before this but I now know he is a whining tool; and he is a whining tool no matter which irrelevant comparison we decide to settle on. And unless you're the guy LT pays to hold his purse, I don't understand why anyone would get so worked up defending him.

The Chargers deserved the Pats sticking it in their face, cmon they had plans for Super Bowl parades and other festivities before they even played the game. The Franchise was not even making tickets available to New Englan fans and if they dominated the Pats the whole stadium would have yelled and screamed us off the field just like anyother team would have. San Diego needs to tuffen up and realize The Patriots as a whole are not classless, maybe a few guys took it too far but you asked for it. And again as far as LT goes how many TD's did he plow in late in the 4th quarter of games already decided? Thats good sportsmanship putting your best player in to score after the game has already been decided? Im sure if the Chargers were beating us up LT would have scored relentlessy if given the chance.

I was requesting that you show me where I said that the Yankees only buy their talent. It seems to me that you are overly affectionate for LT because you have some anti-Boston resentment that prohibits you from having any rational thoughts when one of their teams is involved.

Actually, I put my money on the Pats. Can't bet against Brady, they just get it done. I don't mind Boston in the least, us Yankee fans aren't the ones with the inferiority complex. I thought you were done? Or do I need to keep pointing out your flubs?

LaDainian = sore loser crybaby?
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a freakin' loser!"

LT is frustrated because his superior team lost to an inferior team.
Can't blame him. The ball just bounced the way of the Pats on that particular day.
It happened to be a play-off game. Same thing happened to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl last year.

That's why they play the games. You just never know when one team might end up getting all the luck ...
