UNhappy L.T. 

In a radio interview Monday, Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson made three things perfectly clear (everything else was up for interpretation):

One, he wasnt happy playing for the Chargers last season.
Two, he wants to return to San Diego, the place he has called home since being drafted in 2002.
Three, if he does return to the Chargers, it wont come at a reduced rate.



Alright, I heard about this (there was more to it) on Mike and Mike this morning. I don't take everything they say to heart on that show, but this sounded like L.T. after I had watched his "Vizio Profile" way back.

The guy is a family man and a true football player. Mike and Mike put it perfectly when they said L.T. is upset because it seems more players are carrying brief cases into the locker room than gym/duffle bags (hope you get the point).

I like him a lot and say what you want about his past performance, but he was coming off injury, his o-line blows at run blocking, and Norv turned the Bolts into a passing-first team, which limited his carries and production. In the end, I hope he ends up somewhere and begins picking it up again.

My view, Chargers don't meet his "needs" and he ends up with the New York Jets. LaDanian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene. Just my view since he wants a championship.

We don't really need a HB ... LT = big contract in which Ted Thompson would be against. We got Grant a 1000 yard rusher. Defense more important this season and o-line.

Grant will get more yards than LT in '10.

Anyone want to say otherwise and lose $100? OK, gambling is illegal. I mean in principle.

Hey Zero is there any way to stop "Packers Finland" (Tuomas) from reading this thread

He would have multiple orgasms if he even thought LT would play for the Pack.

Chat during gameday would implode due to the man love!!!!!!!!!

Too late... I think LT should take a pay cut and stay with the Chargers though, he will only tarnish his image by playing somewhere else, and not on the level he used to.

If he's not going to take a paycut, he'll go down the Shaun Alexander road. He most likely thinks that he can still play, end up as a 3rd string RB on some roster, get a rushing attempt or 10, mostly near the goalline, as he can still plunge it in and will be totally out of a job the year after.

I can't imagine that any team would sign him for any reason besides his name. Especially if he wants big money, he'll be out of a job for quite a while.

Yeah, I posted it in NFL Discussion because I don't want him to be talked about coming to the Packers because that is more unrealistic than Merriman coming here.

I think he still has gas left in the tank though and would succeed somewhere with a good offensive line (why I mentioned the Jets) and with a running back countering his running style (why I mentioned the Jets, Shonne Greene).

I like Tomlinson because he is one of those "players" left in the league. He still carries a duffle bag into the locker room, although...with this article it seems like money is the issue but he isn't asking for more, just saying he won't take a cut.

He's finished. I hope he has the prideto just say good bye. It's sad to watch him fall all over himself and get knocked to the ground on first contact EVERY time. Just sad.

Color me as a guy that would answer the phone if he would be open to a incentive based fair contract.. because if he is cut loose from SD he is going to be an angry runner..

Are his days past.. probably... but so where Ahman Green's and he was a welcomed addition to the club.

Right deal... certainly... looking for big money, which is reality.. pass please.

Much like his teammate on defense... team favored prove it deal.. great.. anything else.. pass.
