Last week after a loss to the New England Patriots, NFL MVP and Charger's running back LaDainian Tomlinson said that the Patriots were classless and attributed some of that classlessness to the Patriot's coach. And no sooner than he said it, it was criticized and dismissed as LT being emotional after a loss, that his team should not have suffered. Nonetheless, after a mere twenty four hours, Tomlinson stuck with his original statement and continued to call the Patriots classless and this was after some Patriots expressed their disappointment with Charger fans and the fact that they felt that the Chargers overlooked them and was preparing for Colts. With that notion, I agreed with the Patriots and believed that LT was wrong for being upset that a couple of Patriots performed the "Lights Out" dance. Hell they saw Merriman perform it on two ocassions, usually three yards from where their quarterback was either on his kness or back. LT overlooked the fact that a dance after a sack is showing up the offensive line and the quarterback...So why not a little jabbing from the Patriots? Especially if they did the unthinkable? They came in pillaged the village and punked your team, after a serie of crucial mistakes.
So having said all that, maybe LT has a little point. After the Colts-Patriots game, New England QB Tom Brady was seen making a B-line towards the visitor's locker room after his team gave up 18 unanswered points in their loss to the Colts. What happened to sportsmanship and being a good loser. Dungy and Manning had to swallow disappointing loses to these Patriots and meet Belichick and Brady in the middle of field and shake their hands. So why the slip from Brady and the abruptness from Belichick? Isn't that classless and bad sportmanship?
Maybe LT is right and deserves a little reprieve....
Just a little.
