I get that the Patriots shouldn't be dancing on the Chargers' logo, but why is it wrong for them to celebrate that way as compared to Shawne Merriman doing it every time he gets a sack? So the Chargers can trash talk and celebrate, but they can't take others doing it? LT had a right to go after them after the game, but talking about it just makes him sound like a complainer.
I actually like the Chargers, but I lost a lot of respect for them because of their talking after the game. Is it just frustration from not knowing how to close out a game?

See, if the Pats had done it during the game then I would have been annoyed, but it was after the game. No penalties to call, they weren't doing anything illegal. So LT can go stuff his classy butt into his golf shorts and chill out already....
They were happy... they expressed it... does LT actually believe that he would have just stood there and shook hands, does he actually believe that he wouldn't have been going all crazy. That Steroid Merriman wouldn't have been doing his seriously lame dance all over the place??? Ugh, please.... And Belichek is one of the most classiest people who knows soo soo soo much about Football history, there is no way that he would ever ever disrespect the game by telling his players to do anything illegal.

of course it is frustration but look at it this way: it is ok to be dancing after the game and be happy but to go on the chargers logo and do shawne merrimans dance is another thing
if they would have been doing a different dance on a different part of the field it would have been fine
look at what happened a couple years ago with TO going on the dallas cowboys logo
a cowboys player then tackled him off of it and everyone thought great of him
i think was good that LT did not do that
and now people are saying that LT is a poor sport when in reality, after the game his words were: "we lost to the better team today"
think about that and tell me how that is a poor sport or complainer

Everyone needs to get off L.T.'s back. He is a humble and respectful MVP and his most important quote was, "We lost to the better team today." Given his demeanor and the respect he has for people, he was genuinely bothered by the Pats celebration and made a point to let them know how he felt.
The people in the media are the ones that keep asking him over and over about it. I don't fault the media either because they are just trying to find a controversial story to write about. But because L.T. responds to the media by explaining his stance he is viewed as being a whiner and complainer? Ask yourself this, do you think L.T. would have made a point to bring up the Pats' celebration if the media didn't ask him to explain why he was so angry after the game? I don't think he would have...

How many sacks did Merriman get this season compared to the number of times that he was blocked successfully by an offensive lineman? How would he feel if the OL danced every time they protected the QB?

Ladanian happens to be one of the most humble, polite, respectful and very much respected, players in the NFL.
It was a tense, hard fought game by both sides that came down to the wire, emotions were high and he reacted.
Nobody is perfect.

I agree with you, LT shouldnt be such a sore loser and he even took a shot at the pats coach, talkin about "lack of class", he's taking it way too seriously.

A players true level of class always comes out in times of stress and losing. Many talk of respect but when puch comes to shove we see the real deal. I guess we have seen the Chargers true level of class (or lack there of).

Chargers are all about the hype, all about the stuff beoofre the game. Patriots are all about winning and quieting the losers and their fans...
