It’s not that I have anything against LaDainian Tomlinson, or that I think he won’t be a good addition to the team’s front office, but I am tired of him trying his best to please everyone all the time instead of speaking the truth.

However, in the eyes of the San Diego Chargers fans, this is going to hurt LT more than it’s going to help the team.
