After the game concluded yesterday L.T. refused to shake hands with any of the Patriots because of two of them celebrated at the end by doing the "Lights Out" close to midfield. He also proceeded to go after one of the Patriots and then afterwards proceeded to take shots at the coaching of the Patriots. In the long run... all it is is a team celebrating a hard fought victory that not many gave them a chance to win. Shawne Merriman does his "Lights Out" salute after every sack/hit... shouldn't be too upset that the opposing team did it for 5 seconds after hard fought victory. Just seems the MVP was a little bitter & some of his true colors shined through. You always shake the other teams hand after a game... not sulk about a loss that was hard fought through and through and make excuses to why you didn't shake hands... he maybe MVP, but he's a sore loser & that's reall unfortunate... and this is coming from one of L.T.'s biggest fans.

He hides under that visor of his for a reason. He is an angry man.

I have a hard time believing you are "a huge fan of LT" if you let his actions after one game make you mad enough to talk about how bitter he was. Hell I would be bitter to if I had worked my a** off all year breaking records right and left and then have my team do bone head things like Florence head butting that NE guy to give the ball back to NE, or your dumb coach challenging a play that cost you a timeout, or having Parker not be able to hang on to a ball if his life depended on it. I'm sorry but he is a real person not some superhuman who never gets mad. He let his emotions get the best of him after all the hard work that he put into that game. I think it was tacky the way the Patriots acted after they won. I know they deserved to celebrate they won fair and square but they should have done it with some class. I dont think LT is a sore loser I think the Pats are sore winners and LT was just reacting how anyone would if put in the same situation. And if you wouldnt act that way if you were in his shoes then good for you, you must not have any emotion which is sad.
I am not condoning that what he did was right but give him a break he had one bad judgement call. Forgive him and stop complaining about it. Other players do it all the time. It happens in sports and that doesnt make him any less of a great player because of one slip up

Let's get this straight, L.T. is NOT at all a sore loser just because he didn't shake any of the Patriots hands. Chargers have worked their way up, and Patriots didn't care, all they wanted to do is win, they don't think about anything but winning. They make fun of Merriman because they were probably laughing at the Chargers because they lost they're chances to going into the Super Bowl. PATRIOTS HAVE NO CLASS.

I'm surprised at L.T. He always seemed to be a pretty classy guy.
He usually hands the ball to the ref after scoring, which is how it should be done. Maybe he should talk to Merriman about his "Lights Out" dance which he does after every play, and this wouldn't be an issue. Make the play, and go back to the huddle, and people won't imitate you after you lose!

I agree, L.T. made a bad character turn at the end of the game. He called himself a classy guy and that seemed conceited of him too. It was a tough loss but S.D. did it to themselves, too many mistakes. Tomlinson played a great game and must be very frustrated but he should have kept his mouth shut. That would have been the classy thing to do.

I truly haven't any project with genuine followers of a team. Infact, I appreciate them a lot because they stick by using their team by skill of thick and skinny. i will inform a real Pats fan from a bandwagoner. Bandwagoners leap from team to team and characteristic little understanding of the game. you observe them ask stuff like "Why did he get a holding penalty? are not you meant to carry onto the football?", "i presumed a landing grow to be nicely worth 7 factors, notwithstanding it truly is fairly 6?", "what's a 2 factor conversion?", and unable to carry an smart football communicate, only speaking trash like "My team made the playoffs, so that they are more suitable constructive than yours". earlier about 2004, there have been infrequently any Pats bandwagoners. those are the folk who were Cowboys followers in the 90s. round right here in Pennsylvania, you had a set of genuine-blue Steelers and Eagles followers, and a set of bandwagoner Cowboy followers. i wager it truly is genuine, notwithstanding, that there'll always be bandwagoners who do not recognize a element about football. and those self same fake Pats followers who were speaking trash are literally saying "we do not help cheaters".

Tomlinson proved one thing he is a human being and he got emotional after the biggest game of his life.
He will apologyize and move one. Don't tell me you wouldn't be the slightest bit irratated after a loss like that.

Sorry but Lawrence Taylor (the only real L.T.) retired some years ago and didn't play in yesterday's game.
