BFTB After Dark: June 18, 2012

Now that I see what Philip Rivers was wearing to LT's retirement press conference today, I'm certain that was him taking his seat when the NFL Network cut in to the live feed to promote the press conference.

I thought the San Diego Chargers, and Dean Spanos, did a wonderful job with LaDainian Tomlinson's thing today. The media also lived up to it's San Diegan reputation of not being too crazy when the floor was opened up for questions. I thought Eric Weddle asking LT a question, his former teammate, was a great moment and a true sign of respect.

Now, with Tomlinson back in the Chargers family, I'd like to see the man at Chargers Park a few times in August working with the running backs, especially Ryan Mathews. They have much to learn from him and he doesn't have to feel threatened by their success any longer.
