I am no one to hold athletes up as role models, but LThad always seemed to be a classy, humble guy (big diamond earrings notwithstanding). Even bought my kids LT jerseys for Christmas.

I was a little disappointed in his post game comments, knowing he is not the kind to "celebrate" or show off when achieving something onfield. I greatly dislike anytime of on field celebration when the game is going on....esp the Shawn Merriman dance, in light of his...ahem..past.

A classy person would have not answered the question posed to him (What did you think about the post game celebration by the Patriots), or would have answered differently, and not dissed the head coach of the winning team. Sour grapes, IMHO. Having thought about it for awhile, I know LT was just upset at having lost, when the Chargers should have won, uspet at perhaps not having carried the ball and the team as much as he is used to.

Someone upthread already said it,but ...Poor form to complain about the other team celebrating with a "victory dance" (on your home field) used by one of your teammates when you say nothing to the teammate when he does the dance on an opposing team's field.

All that being said, when Marty threw that challenge flag, my husband and I turned to each other and said:"Nice going Marty..and thanks!"..we knew this one would come back to bite the Chargers in the butt later on. That timeout would have helped alot on that final drive. Can't fault Kaeding on that..poor kid.

If anyone blames Kaeding then they have no football brains at all.
