Are you kidding me? 2 years in a row and he watches his teams playoff game from the sidelines?

    Is it just me, or did he look a little envious or angry after the game, especially with the 'little guy' scoring the game winning td on a run.

    At least this time he didn't sit on the end of a bench with his head covered by a jacket hood.

    Actually, as I recall, he even had the helmet with the dark visor on, too...image

    He definitely did not react the way you'd expect a teammate to react after winning a playoff game in OT...as Vito said, all this sucess by Sproles kind of relegates LT to the background during this playoff push and that can't be good for the legend of LT..

    I made the exact same point in another thread. LT is selfish with a capital S.

    Some unbelievably talented players have legacies of coming up flat in the postseason. It happens. Maybe he's one of them -- but in fairness he hasn't been terribly healthy for them, either. But it's not the injuries or the performance that dismay me as much as apparent attitude. It's as if he wanted Sproles to fall on his face to prove he's still "the man," even if it meant losing...

    I have followed L.T. since he first showed up in San Diego and he was certainly a great running back and he has helped his franchise. He's not a team leader, but he is respected by his teamates if you have listened to interviews from other Chargers. However, I don't think it's fair to blame L.T. for being on the sidelines yesterday. After all, he really shouldn't have suited up being he does have a groin injury and there have been many reports in the last day or two that he actually has a tear. That being said, I commend L.T. for suiting up and trying to give the Chargers some yards and to help them get going, but it didn't do any good for him to be on the sidelines if he knew he wasn't going back in the game or if he wasn't rooting for his team.

    He refuses to play in the postseason!

    Maybe his groin/toe/whatever is still sore but the bottom line is he is not someone who's greatness ever amounted to much except incredibly good regular season #'s


    I just dont have that much respect for him like I did a few years ago.

    I agree Brian. He really never was

    I know one thing for sure, he is NO Emmitt Smith!

    I believe Sproles is a better choice to play now than LT
