Serious Business: 2/24 San Diego Chargers Links

NFL wants blood testing for HGH | ProFootballTalk.com
Amid news that a British rugby player has become the first athlete to test positive for HGH, the league has reiterated its position that it favors the same blood test that caught the guy whose fish and chips were spiked with something other than vinegar.

LT ran out of gas in San Diego - Matt Williamson
What does Tomlinson have left and what is his value around the league at this advanced point of his career? My answer to that question is short and simple: very little.

LaDainian Tomlinson's Future - ESPN Video
Merril Hoge talks about LaDainian Tomlinson's future following his release from the Chargers

21 best memories of 21
As we celebrate LaDainian Tomlinson’s nine breathtaking seasons in San Diego, Chargers.com takes a look back at the 21 most memorable moments of the future Hall of Famer’s time in lightning bolts.

Mayock: Good draft for RBs - Casey Pearce
The Chargers will be in search of a running back this spring and NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock says the 2010 draft is a good place to find one.

"Sproles next?" by Bolts Bulletin
Darren Sproles could well follow LaDainian Tomlinson out the door and will at least be given the chance to do so.

Vincent Jackson DUI draws work-release time - SignOnSanDiego.com
Vincent Jackson will receive four days in a work-release program, possibly roadside trash pickup, plus a likely NFL suspension this fall, after pleading guilty to his second drunken driving offense since 2006.

PFT Daily: The death of the workhorse tailback | ProFootballTalk.com
Tomlinson's departure validates the trend away from using one primary guy in the running game.  (The success of the Saints and their three-headed attack helps put the workhorse concept out of its misery, too.)

San Diego notes - AFC West Blog - ESPN
"To me, I felt like we played too much zone," Cromartie said. "As we would say, we felt like we had two of the best corners in the NFL, me and [Quentin] Jammer, and we played too much zone coverage, rather than man."

The League Panelists: Like Tony Gwynn, NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson should have retired with San Diego Chargers
Wherever Tomlinson lands, there's going to be sacrifice. He is probably going to have to abandon the idea of being a starter and making starter's money. The team he goes to is going to have to figure out how to use him enough to make him happy, but not so much that his flaws hurt the offense. Personally, as a long-time Chargers fan and LaDainian Tomlinson fan, I would've preferred to see Tomlinson walk off into the sunset with bolts on his back.

Looks like MLB will do blood tests for HGH

Too bad

That there is still not a lot of evidence that they are performance enhancing.

There are a ton of other better performance enhancers that aren’t tested for that sports leagues should be focusing on before worrying about HGH.

At least MLB is trying I guess. That’s more than I can say for the NFL. NFL testing is a joke.

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.

To a certain extent

That is absolutely true.

Still holding out the selfish (team-selfish, maybe?) hope

that LT can’t find a job that would satisfy him and decides to hang up the cleats. I give it maybe a 1% chance, but fingers (and toes) are crossed. Don’t want to wish anything against him, but that would be most satisfying for me as a fan.

I agree

I’d prefer his entire career will be as a Charger, so I don’t ever have to root against him. If he goes elsewhere, I hope he doesn’t succeed.

I’d say it’s a good bit higher than 1%.
