Congrats Pats

[greenroom]

TSA, what did you think of LT sitting on the bench with his helmet on, not cheering and encouraging his teamates?

Yea I agree LT is not winning new fans. He has great talent, but his actions are starting to make me think he is not a good teammate.

[san antonio spurs]

I'm dissappointed with Tomlisson,
1. If you're judged healthy enough to start a game, you've got to do whatever you can to stay in the game and have an impact,even as a decoy because of the attention his gets from the defense would free up his teamates

2. I've seen "leaders" of teams on cruches and unable to play involved on the sidelines and cheering and firing up their teamates.

3. I saw a injured Rivers play, an injured Gates play, and were both limping more than Lt who seemed to walk well after the game was over.

[san antonio spurs]

I think LT was upset he couldn't play, who wouldn't be

what kind of a leader is he? he talks about himself as being such a great leader, seems to condradict himself a bit there. No matter what, you've got to be involved somewhat in the biggest game of your life.

Unless the MRI he had wasn't accurate or if he tore a ligament on his first couple of touches, I don't get it. LT not playing and Ted Cottrell not blitzing were the two most disappointing things I saw today.

They said he did not reinjure himself.

The injury aside, the way he acted on the sidelines was pretty dissapointing. Not cheering up his teamates, not involved on the sidelines whatsoever. Sitting alone, waiting for somebody to come sit by his side to feel sorry for him.
that team needs a real leader.

Media: "LT, LT, LT.. Why did you sit out the whole game?"


























LT: "My pussy was hurting"

You know you were ting all that "chowdah" in your pants until the 4th.

even when tom throws 3 picks, you don't in your pants when the game is close. ESPECIALLY in the 4th.

Not with Brady at the helm. It's not like we have Chad tington playing QB for us.

tington? Damn, I need to buy that jersey.

[TheSanityAnnex]

people questioning the legitimacy of L.T.'s injury in a game like this? You armchair QB's are pathetic.

LT has sprained MCL; surgery for Rivers?

Whatever the speculation was on TV or the lie the Chargers announced to the media at Gillette Stadium, here's the bottom line from LaDainian Tomlinson:

"It's obvious that I couldn't play. If I could have played, I would have been in there.''

Tomlinson, who suffered a hyperextended left knee in last week's win over Indianapolis, got hit on the same knee on the first play of the AFC Championship Game and said he sprained the medial collateral ligament. The Chargers announced he could have returned to the game, but Tomlinson said that wasn't the case. Coach Norv Turner confirmed that after the game.

"It was just the impact of getting hit that first play, right on it,'' Tomlinson said. "I thought that would be the test, taking a hit on it. I don't know how I get direct hits on it ... it's just been two bad weeks for me. I usually don't take shots like that. It just happened.''

Tomlinson was in for a total of four plays -- two carries, a reception and one play where he stayed into block. He did not play after the Chargers' second series.

"LT tried to go and he just couldn't go,'' Turner said. "The pain in the knee, what he felt, he couldn't push off it and he couldn't go. ... The doctors and trainers said he couldn't go.''

Meanwhile, QB Philip Rivers confirmed he has a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in addition to a sprained MCL. Rivers said he "probably'' would need surgery.

[O-Factor]

Was this from todays game? Tomlinson has been kind of a to Rivers this whole season it seems like.

[Fillmoe]

no not from today.... tomlinson never took his helmet off today... LOL

[FromWayDowntown]

Asterisk smack is weak sauce.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

LT is one of the biggest babies in the game.... he was probably crying underneath the helmet

WTF was up with that Puss leaving his helmet on the whole game.

did he say why he was stoic the whole game, sitting alone and not cheering for his teamates or firing them up?
He's supposed to be a leader isn't he?

[T Park]

Rivers playing as well as he did, with a partially torn ACL is studly in its own right.

[slayermin]

I guess LT did get hit on the knee on the first play. That explains a lot.

[Fabbs]

Even though I admit Norv went conservative, he didn't miss the block on Seau on that 3rd and 1 in the redzone in the first half.

It was still a stupid call. Run up the middle twice. If you can't get a yard and one foot with that O line and Michael Turner up the middle then sit down. MT is much better up the middle then sideways.

Also cracks me up the media writing how Jr Meow "broke thru the line for the tackle".
