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.
