Well, you only have yourselves to blame, Chargers fans. Linebacker Shawne Merriman tweeted today that he didn’t do his “dance” last night when he entered the stadium because there weren’t enough of you in attendance.
“I didnt do the dance when i came out the tunnel last night because it wasnt enough people there remember i get my energy from YALL!! …it was was 46k people there and Our stadium holds over 70k”
One presumes Merriman was referring to his patented “Lights Out” dance, the one that looks more like a man miming electrocution than turning off the lights. But what do we know?
The more important question is, why were the Chargers fans who did show up punished so severely by Merriman? Isn’t it important – nay, VITAL – that players understand the economic constraints we’re all feeling and not act so rashly.
The loss of the Lights Out dance, of course, is the most penal aspect of decreased attendance at NFL games. That and local TV blackouts. They’re right up there together.
Merriman is a douche
Well at least he did the “Who’s a douche bag…THIS GUY!” tweet.
Newsworthy.
What High School newspaper did Florio get you from?
Oh. We thought maybe he just grew up.
He can always audition for “Dancing with the Stars” if it’s so important to him.
Yes.., the fans, I’m sure were really left disappointed, after being refused this water-down, Ray Lewis, wanna be dance.
Isn’t this supposed to be about football? Who gives a shiiiii, if he does or doesn’t dance. Judging from what I’ve read about Chargers attendance.., it looks like it will be more “Lights Off”, then “Lights Out”.
Do these morons actually think people like to see them “dancing”?
Michael Jackson they ain’t!
Save it until DWTS calls.
Class act, that guy is.
Yeah, I’m sure those in attendance went home pissed cause this jackass didn’t do his juvenile dance……Just shut up and play football…….NFL egos are astounding at times……
“I didnt do the dance when i came out the tunnel last night because it wasnt enough people there remember i get my energy from YALL!!”
That and steroids.
SHUT UP MERRIMAN! No one gives a rats ass if you do your dance or not. Not everyone makes millions of dollars a year, you jackass. This is what is so disgusting about pro athletes. Maybe instead of doing his dance, the stadium could show replays of Maurice Jones Drew doing his impression of “Lights Out” on Merriman.

Now that’s my kind of sarcasm. LOL.
You all sound like a bunch of Merriman’s bitter ex-girlfriends, for real. Newsflash morons, virtually every DE/LBer celebrates after getting a sack. Get over it and quit crying like a woman.
Charger fans probably too busy getting pedicures and surfing lol. Btw Merriman looks like he misses his Steriods.
Curran, you left out the on-air broadcasters for all these teams. You’d think they’d think, too, (oxymoron, I know) about who butters their bread. But no, all this faint and not so faint on-air sneering they do at fans…well that’s clearly one of the big penile things, too, that they do.
Oh. Did you say penal?
@ T3d strik3r……….Newsflash moron, nobody goes to games to see a freakin dance…….You sound like you wanna be Merrimans girlfriend……
@EskinSux
Hey retard, learn to read. I never said people go to games to see a dance. (WhereTF did that come from?) I just said all players do it, and whiners like you sound like 11 year-old girls. Thanks for proving my point though douchebag. Now go watch TMZ or play with your dolls or something.
T3d Strik3r
Did you even read the article? No sh!t De/LB dance when they get a sack. The article was because of some douche openly admitted to ‘not giving the fans their money’s worth’ and then openly said why he didn’t thinking we’d care. Damn, I should start up profootballtalkfordummies.com, I know I’d get at least 1 hit.
@T3d strik3r
Far be it from me to argue with anyone that takes the time to give EskinSux the business, but not every pass rusher celebrates like he’s the second coming of Mark Gastineau. Merriman is the Chad Johnson of NFL defenses. Guys like him just talk too much, and after awhile they start to remind me of pretty girls that can never get enough attention.
THAT was dancing? Are you sure he wasn’t just trying to shake loose his tampoon?
Heard Tila Tequila taught him his dance.
