Not bragging about the win at all. I was enjoying your loss. The win did nothing for the Chargers disappointing season. But it ended yours. And that was nice. And don’t try to act like you wouldn’t enjoy your raiduh team playing playoff spoiler to a division rival.

No, I didn’t see any Lion fans bragging about knocking us out of the playoffs, but they’re not hated division rivals either.

You raiduh fans crack me up. A nation of bandwagon riders that talk and act tough but then whine and pout when people talk smack.

And I agree with another poster. LT needs quit doing the interviews and saying stupid things. Of course he wanted and played for a championship. He’s just trying to make himself feel better for not getting one.

You’re so silly Joe, thinking fans care anything more about regular season when other than a springboard to the playoffs.
Oh..right. You’re on the raiduh bandwagon. You have to win in the regular season to care about regular season wins. Raiduhs haven’t done too well with that lately. Especially their last game of last season. Man, that was an important win for the raiduhs. That sent them to the palyoffs…..oh…right.

You just proved Joe right. The Raiders had a terrible season last year. Owner died, first year head coach, lost their starting QB and RB for the season, the defense was a disaster, and they still won as many games as the Chargers. You don’t see Lions fans bragging about knocking the Chargers out of the playoffs last season. But here is Charger fan, bragging about a regular season win.

Shoulda said: “The HOF is great, but I wish I had a ring to go with that yellow jacket. If only we hired a coach with balls in SD, we mighta had one.”

But let’s be honest LT, you said over and over during your Charger days (especially after 2006) that the ring meant more to you than the HOF.

You’re changing your story after the fact.

Still love you buddy, always will… But you might want to take a break from doing interviews for a while ’cause you are saying some kinda’ foolish stuff lately.

The raiduh hate, I can understand. He owned them. Ran, threw and caught touchdowns against them. Sometimes in the same game. So I can totally understand the raiduh hate.

You’re so silly Joe, thinking fans care anything more about regular season when other than a springboard to the playoffs.

Oh..right. You’re on the raiduh bandwagon. You have to win in the regular season to care about regular season wins. Raiduhs haven’t done too well with that lately. Especially their last game of last season. Man, that was an important win for the raiduhs. That sent them to the palyoffs…..oh…right.

LT, u had a HOF career with SD. U joined the Jets the last 2 years seeking that elusive Super Bowl win. It didnt happen for u. Would u give up ur HOF career with SD if u were guaranteed a Super Bowl win with the Jets?

As a Charger fan, how would u want him to respond?

It is exactly the same question as which is more important, SB or HOF

if u can guarantee me a ring this year with the broncos as a backup, Id gladly give up all those great years with SD. The MVP year, all of it. Id give it all up, to win with Peyton as his 3rd down back.

Is that the better answer u guys r looking for?

obviously personal achievement was always more important to this former dolt than winning….

However he does brings up a good point about the relationship between individual talent and Championship rings. Of every sport on the planet, Football has the least correlation between the skill of an individual player and the number of championships he wins (especially excluding the quarterback position). Tennis and golf are more or less exactly correlated: the better the player is, the more he will win. Basketball is slightly less so: an amazing individual player can carry his team to the finals (LeBron and the Cavs in 2007), but cannot win it until he gets an actual team around him (LeBron and the Heat in 2012).

Football is polar opposite of tennis and golf in the sense that it’s extraordinarily difficult for one man’s contributions to win a team a championship. Football requires two complete teams (offense and defense), coaches to run both those teams, a GM to build both those teams into championship caliber units, and a coach to run the whole show, as well as maximize the talents and contributions from all of those players the GM has picked.

One man shows don’t win in the NFL. That’s why Peyton has only one ring, Bill Polian was unable to build and maintain a complete team around his star player.

For the same reason, LaDainian Tomlinson should not be faulted for joining the ranks of world-class players with no rings. While Dwight Howard or Derrick Rose may be forgotten if they never win a championship, no one can say LT didn’t play his heart out every game and do everything he could to win his team a Super Bowl. And that’s LT’s point, considering how hard he played, and how much he loved the game, at this point, if Canton is all he gets out of his career, he’ll be satisfied.

Gonna be funny when he doesn’t get in on the first ballot.

So when exactly was LT supposed to win a SB? The dude never had a chance.

By the way John Riggins has both a SB ring and a tan blazer and has said that the HoF meant more. I have heard other players that have both the ring and the blazer say the HoF meant more!
