why was he so upset with the Patriot players, looks like they were celebrating because they just beat the best team in football, shouldn't he be mad at his coach for not sticking with the running game?

The Patriots were mocking Merriman and dancing at mid-field on the Chargers logo from what I heard. Not the most classy thing but I think LT was just mad that his team blew the game. Nice showing San Diego

He's not mad at his coach, he said he wants to play for him next season and he also said that the loss should be blamed on the team as a whole and not just his coach...I didnt see much on the celebration but what i did see was that the Pats did act like they had never won a divisional game before, I mean they have 3 super bowl wins...LT has class he didnt get angry in any interviews and i think he reacted the way he did because of a very tough loss on part of a 4th and 11, and punt fumbles, and INT then fumble on the same play...and yes they should have ran it more because he was playing like he had all season...

All the hype behind LT is BS he just had his bubble burst by a better football team. The chargers are overrated and so is LT

The Hatriots (I mean Patriots) stood on the field logo and mocked the Chargers by doing the "lights out" dance before the clock had even hit zero. (They did get a personal foul for it...) I agree with LT, it was totally immature and classless. Look, Lt can discuss the eight point lead that dissipated, and the running game with his coaches later in a mature fashion, but Bill Bellichoke and Tom Fraidy should have never condoned such little brat behavior...here is rooting for the COLTS!

Pointing at the charger bench, doing dances on the Charger logo shows a real lack of class. LT was justified in calling them on it. And I had thought the Pats were sportsmen, not punks like most of the NFL.

excuse me? the patriots were not "punching people in the head" if anyone, LT should have gotten that facemask penalty because he clearly had his hand on the facemask for more than 5 seconds.
and for the mocking merriman, tell me what team hasn't mocked the giants jump shot? its commonplace.
personally, i think hes just a sore loser and should stop whining. maybe if hes team didnt miss so many catches they'd actually still be in the playoffs.

When you are in the world of sports you have to take the good with the bad. LT and the Chargers lost and he had to blame somebody else. I think he has been hanging around Barry Bonds to much. "I blame my team mates for me taking illegal performance enhancing drugs." JUST CALL THEM STEROIDS already!

The Mike & Mike show took a poll today to see if LT should get the 'SHUT UP ALREADY' award and he won. The public voted in favor that he should shut up already, enuf is enuf, it's over & done.

it wasn't because they were celebrating, he was a little mad because the were mocking Shawne Merrimans "Lights out". And it was the way the Patriots played, Patriots were punching people in the head and what not and they didn't care about sportsmanship but about winning. Patriots really have NO CLASS.

LT was bitching because his team choked. He wouldn't be griping about class and proper decorum if the chargers had won. Of course, they would have won if they had a different head coach.
