He strikes Bill Belichick at that the end of the game and says "and they showed no class at all and it maybe comes from the head coach"

Don't you think that's being a little bias there Patriot fan? He didn't hit Belichick did he? He was trying to get the hell off the field.

If he's an idiotic moron, then so is everyone else in this world at some time or another. He felt some players disrespected the team and the fans by dancing midfield on their team logo, and it didn't set well with him. I have (and I'm sure I'm not alone on this) been guilty of similar myself. I'm not a poor sport, don't mind losing, and I've been in big important games and lost. But there are also poor winners.
The Pats and Chargers are my 2 fav. teams. LT & Brady are my fav players and Belichick is by far my fav coach (and the best in my opinion). I wouldn't think that coach would have done anything to make LT mad, then again I never thought I'd see LT act the way he did. Those are 2 of the classiest guys I've seen in the L. I'm sure Belichick regrets grabbing that cameraman last week and shoving him out of the way.
Point I'm trying to make is, it happens to everybody. You take something the wrong way and you may do, say, or act in a manner you regret.

There are two reasons for what happened.
#1. LT lost his cool at the end over the loss. The Chargers were so close to tieing the game at the end and send it into overtime. Plus, early in the first half the Chargers elected to go for it on 4th and 11 instead of kicking the field goal, so he probably had some pent up frustration over that, the other mistakes made in the game, and not being able to lead his team to victory.
#2. A few Patriot players were pulling their own version of TO by dancing on the Chargers logo at mid-field at the end of the game. From what I read, the Patriot players were mimicking Shawne Merriman's sack dance at mid-field and one of the Pats players who happened to be a former Charger held LT back.
Personally speaking, I have no problem with what LT was saying because if the head coach can't keep his players from dancing at mid-field at the end of a play-off away game, then he has no business complaining when a team comes into his house and does it. Belichick lost control of his team and in the end, if you want to play it fair, they were all idiots, LT and the Patriot players.

LT is absolutely correct. The patriots are one of the dirtest teams in the NFL. They just get away with it because they always win. Last time i checked belichick shoved a camera man. I've never seen LT do that. People have always thought that about bill but noone called him out. Now one of the most respected men in the NFL calls him out and now hes a moron. Also, i remember the chargers beat them 41-17 and noone was dancing on their mid field logo. Go figure...

LT IS A CLASS ACT. ...... You have to know if LT says something than it really bothered him and it was really wrong. And I agree with him 100%. That Pats player was taunting him as he was trying to walk off the field. I think they even had a hold of LT for a moment. I saw it and was so mad at that Pats player for treating LT that way. You would think a three time Superbowl team would know how to act. I feel sorry for Tom Brady that some of his team acted so disrespectful. They better learn how to act with the gentlemen like class that Brady has always had going for him. . They showed no class. That is why they were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct... Its one thing to jump out on the field and celebrate with your team mates but its totally unacceptable to flat out taunt the other team like they did. To do the lights out dance is taunting and its NOT ACCEPTABLE. And at midfield is like what TO did to the cowboys....The Chargers will never forget that and next time they face each other the chargers will be out for blood...

LT is not a moron and is a classy and humble guy. im no chargers fan but he was right. belichick is classless, remember when he shoved the cameraman out of the way to give mangenius a pity i beat your @ss and your team sucks hug? only to apologize an entire day later only because his PR man wanted him to. the pats mocked merriman and did his lights out dance at midfield in front of the san diego crowd that is very disrespectful and classless you know you won so just shake hands and leave. if it was at new englands its more understandable. the patriots just wanted to rub it in the chargers and their fans face that they got lucky and didnt win the game but that SD just beat themselves. yes its true, brady threw 3 picks(brady doesnt win when he throws 3 ints) and SD just made stupid TO after stupid TO and pats got lucky on them(parkers fumble and mcree got the ball strip all he had to do was sit down and the plays over, and whoever it was that headbutted hobbs to keep the drive alive). LT was upset that he was the only one to play good enough to win but his stupid @ss coach that it was better to throw a bunch of times rather than use the leagues MVP and best running back to control the clock and possession.

The Patriots are a classless organization, and it does start with Belichick. He doesn't show any emotion, which is probably good because it would most certainly be a negative one. LT is one of the classiest guys in the NFL, and many many experts agree with that statement. Your bias has obviously tainted your perception, but what should we expect from a PATS fan.

The Patriots are morons. Next time they should save their celebrations for the locker room. They have no class, LT was absolutely right.
