Serious Business: 2/6 Chargers Links

Playoff perseverance - SignOnSanDiego.com
In his final team meeting nearly three weeks ago, the day after the Chargers were stunned in the playoffs by the New York Jets, head coach Norv Turner reminded his players who it was that knocked the Indianapolis Colts from the previous two postseasons.

Coryell’s big imprint ingrained in football - SignOnSanDiego.com
Just let me say at the top that Don Coryell is, in my mind, the most important football coach since Paul Brown. Because he isn’t going to go away.

For Tomlinson, all that's left is the goodbye - SignOnSanDiego.com
LaDainian Tomlinson has taken his bows and taken his lumps. Now it is time for him to take his leave.

Points for Carney as mentor - SignOnSanDiego.com
To hear the Saints now, he is currently serving in an even more important role — as a kicking consultant helping second-year kicker Garrett Hartley in every facet of his game.

LT Says He’s Leaving The Chargers
Craig and Chris agree that the time has come for the Chargers and L.T. to part ways, but in their latest podcast, the 619 Sports guys wonder if the split could have been handled better, and if Tomlinson is taking enough responsibility for his reduced production:

As far as LT goes...

I am not in the feeling sorry LT didn’t get a ring camp. Sure, he’s been one of the 2 or 3 best players ever to put on a Chargers’ jersey, but I don’t feel any worse for him than I do for Fouts or any of the other Chargers greats. Tomlinson will be a HOFer, and I’ll always cherish the memories. If he plays elsewhere, I will not root for him. I’m a Chargers fan, and thats it. I cheered for Brees, Seau, and Harrison when they were here, but they left (and I don’t care whose decision their leaving was made by). I’m not rooting for Brees and the Saints tomorrow any more than I’d root for the Patriots under any curcumstances.
Thank you, LT, for the memories. I hope you never get your ring.

Rec'd

I’m pretty sure I agree with every single word of that.

I agreed with you up until “I hope you never get your ring”.

If he’s not part of the Chargers, why would you want him to get a ring?

I'm indifferent.

Just as I am with Bree’s today. I’m not rooting for or against the Saints but I’ll be happy for Drew if they win. I’m just never going to say I hope Bree’s and LT never get there rings just because they no longer play for the Chargers. Now if LT and his new team are standing in the way of the Chargers next January? I’ll be hoping for a lot of LT on the ground or on an exercise bike.

So you root against him until the Chargers aren’t in the running?

If he gets one thats another year the Chargers don't

Why would I want that to happen? I want Rivers and J Williams and Jammer to get theirs. LT won’t need me rooting for him to get a ring, he’ll have his new team’s fans to do that. I’ll cheer him again when he goes into the Hall.

That's cool

but you don’t have to root against him. He gave everything he had for this team for the last decade. It’s a shame he won’t get one as a Charger but if he happens to get one I’ll be happy for him. I’m not actively rooting for him to get one or “hoping” he never does.

Mutually exclusive

If LT is not a Charger, he must not win a ring. I’d rather the Chargers win rings until long after LT’s gone, but it seems like you’re okay with the bolts just winning next year and yielding to your favorites after.
