Whoa. Really? He said that?LT in the press conference:"You guys know me. I'm a very classy person. Shawn Merriam [was disrespected]. They [NE] have no class. NO CLASS. Maybe it comes from their head coach, I don't know."![]()
Right on LT - testify!!!!!LT in the press conference:
"You guys know me. I'm a very classy person. Shawn Merriam [was disrespected]. They [NE] have no class. NO CLASS. Maybe it comes from their head coach, I don't know."

Maybe Mike Ditka was right! LT certainly couldn't be wrong. He's a revered athlete.LT in the press conference:"You guys know me. I'm a very classy person. Shawn Merriam [was disrespected]. They [NE] have no class. NO CLASS. Maybe it comes from their head coach, I don't know."
Driving home from the Bears game! Bear Down!Why would you miss the first 58 minutes of the game in the first place? Especially this game?
LT in the press conference:"You guys know me. I'm a very classy person. Shawn Merriam [was disrespected]. They [NE] have no class. NO CLASS. Maybe it comes from their head coach, I don't know."
Wow, all I've heard all year is what a great guy as well as player LT2 is, and then he pulls that crap after the game not shaking hands, and then pissin' in the press conf. Easy to be classy after wins, true colors after a loss? I'm surprised he's acted this way.I just watched the press conference on NFL Network.LT is a classy MVP RB.He's wrong on this issue though.
Thought it was worthy of its own thread. The Chargers blew the game, but I still can't believe LT is acting like this.
i don't think they'd put on a hoody and start pushing around cameramen. noSince when was celebrating a pressure packed playoff game a crime!? If SD had won they would not have celebrated?![]()

This stuff is too much. If LT would have been s*****g and grinning with some guy in the middle of the field, there would have been a thread on how he did not care about winning. The guy just played one the great alltime indivdual seasons in histroy and no other player on his team stepped up to help him during that playoff game. That's enough for the guy to freaking pissed.

I think what irked him was that after the miss they're standing mid-field imitating "lights out" (as a group).... guys imitate celebtrations all the time (see Houston vs. NYG this year with the jump shot as a clear example) - This one is after missing the field goal when the players really did nothing to cause the miss... the group celebrates "lights out" midfield sent him wild.Clearly, the fact that he didn't get the plays called his way in the second half is also on his mind...I'd be pissed too if my team/coaching staff squandering my MVP performance.But was he really calling Pats classless for imitating loudmouth/showboat Merriman's celebration after the win? Please. I'm supposed to feel sorry bc my team mocks a guy who sends Lights Out paraphernalia and bag of popcorn (so he "can watch us in the playoffs") to Jason Taylor?I hope he only sent Taylor one bag of popcorn, cause that's all he needed![]()
Stuff like this (both the Pats celebration and LTs reaction/comments) are so blown out of proportion by the media and fans. You play a game that is driven by emotion for 3 hours, but you're supposed to be 100% rational and under control as soon as it ends? That's crap. It's called being in the heat of the moment, people. Move on.
Just saw another clip on TV, he said the Pats imitating Merriman's celebration dance is classless. So his teammate Merriman is also classless for doing that dance to show up the QB and O-Line of the team he just sacked, right? or is it OK only when his team celebrates something?

He is being a sore loser. And you know what, I don't blame him. He was THE thing that was working for t hem all day long and on their 2nd to last drive they call his number once? ONCE?!?! #### me, they have the Michael Jordan of football and on their most important drive of ever they throw a 7 yard out to Parker who has ####ed it up all day against Samuel? I don't care if it was called for Gates, on 3rd and 4 of the most important drive of the season you get the ball to the best player in the game. You're damn right he's sore - at his own ####### coaching staff. But he can't come out and blast them so he takes it somewhere else. Low class? Yeah. Understandable. YeahSounds like a sore loser to me...
Tomlinson said he was upset that some Patriots were dancing on the Chargers logo at midfield after they had silenced the record crowd of 68,810 at Qualcomm Stadium and wrecked the Chargers' season.
"I would never react in that way. I was very upset," Tomlinson said. "When you go to the middle of our field and start doing the dance Shawne Merriman is known for, that is disrespectful. They showed no class and maybe that comes from the head coach."
Merriman did a spasmodic dance to celebrate each of his NFL-high 17 sacks.
That's saying a lot when the dead rise from the grave and mock you.....oh wait....has James Brown been buried yet?LT in the press conference:"You guys know me. I'm a very classy person. Shawn Merriam [was disrespected]. They [NE] have no class. NO CLASS. Maybe it comes from their head coach, I don't know."Maybe it is just me. But i dont want a drug using thug to be respected. Or even semi-respected. What I want is every hard working player to call him a cheater and DISREPECT him.Cry more LT. James Brown is about to laugh at you.
Low class? Impossible. He said it himself -- we all know he's a classy guy.He is being a sore loser. And you know what, I don't blame him.

Interesting comparison gr00vus.Jordan played a part in getting rid of Doug Collins.We'll see if LT helps escort Martyball out of town.#### me, they have the Michael Jordan of football and on their most important drive of ever they throw a 7 yard out to Parker who has ####ed it up all day against Samuel?

Its amazing how some people expect these athletes to be perfect every minute of every day. Have they never gotten frustrated when something didnt go their way, said something stupid, done something stupid???? We all have and we all will do it again. God knows if I had a camera in my face all the time you guys would eat me alive and I am willing to bet the same is true of all the people ripping players like LT and others all the time. Move on!Stuff like this (both the Pats celebration and LTs reaction/comments) are so blown out of proportion by the media and fans.

but I agree that the PAts lack class. After they beat the Eagles in the SB they were shouting "Make room for the winning team!"
Nah. I can't believe he'd do that. Just my opinion though.Shawn Merriman sent Jason Taylor a "Lights Out" T-shirt which is his little slogan in SD...and he threw in a box of chips in the box for Jason Taylor. I have no link but i am sure others on here can verify this. (Low low low class)
You think Taylor might have called the Pats this week who he probably hates but has a great deal of respect for since they have 3 rings...you think he might have called those guys and said if you win, please do his dance on the 50 for me.
I'm just saying...
I understand LT's frustration but he has the power to run Marty out of town...LT will never do this though as Marty said he was the best he ever coached.
