L.T. proclaims he's "the best back"
Posted by Tom Curran on September 2, 2009 9:13 AM ET (PFT)

The fact that he has turned 30 doesn't mean LaDainian Tomlinson's too old to engage in a little "neener, neener, neener."

Speaking to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, Tomlinson flashed jealousy about a recent Sporting News article in which Jim Brown interviewed Adrian Peterson.

One question posed by Brown suggests that Tomlinson is overrated.

The article, in which Brown says he believes Peterson is "the most complete back he's seen in a long time," was given to Tomlinson by a Chargers staffer.

"I was sitting there reading it thinking, 'Wow,' " Tomlinson told Farmer. "The difference with me is you can put me out on that field and there will be nothing I can't do. I won't have to come off the field. Adrian has to come off sometimes on third down. Running routes, he's still not there yet. Great downhill runner, powerful, fast, all that stuff. . . .

"But anything on that field you want me to do -- throw it, block -- I can do it. That's what I pride myself on is not having any weaknesses. And that's what makes me the best back."

It's a predictable response from Tomlinson. In 2006, he was being touted as the heir apparent to Brown. Two injury-marred seasons later, and Brown's prodding Peterson to call L.T. overrated while they sip lemonade on the veranda.

Given the pride Tomlinson takes in his craft, making sure L.T. read all about it was, in the short-term, a wise motivational move by the Chargers.

But if it causes him to push too hard from September through December, leaving him used up and/or injured come the playoffs, the smarter move might have been to put the thing in a box marked "Do not open until Christmas."

I agree with this.

Of course, LJ faces the Raiders and LT faces the Ravens in Week 2.

It'll even out.

LJ won't make it to the Turds game. He'll still be kissing his boo boos.

Look, Godzilla isn't breathing my name in a fiery torrent, so I'll just shut up. I can't compete with that.

I'm sorry for the double post but you knew that was Josh Lewin? That's pretty ****ing cool. He is a good, young announcer. I didn't know he did Ranger games. That's crazy.

And whoever said he is annoying or w/e obviously is very upset, emotional, and captured feelings from that LT run.

He's a great announcer. I couldn't believe it when I heard he was doing Chargers games. I think it's pretty rare to be the play-by-play guy for two major sports franchises in big cities, so he's got it pretty good.

Do you listen to sports talk Radio?

I think the thread title is kind of funny.

oh. Never really listened to them. Saw em on TV.

JT the Brick is alright IMO but his sidekick Tom Looney is a ****ing twit. They come on late at night though. They play some enthusiastic clips so might not be your cup of tea.

Who on earth can be enthusiastic at night? That just ain't right.

Oh, and I hate tea, too. But not that Passion Tea they have at Starbucks. That's actually some pretty good stuff. And not sweet tea, either. I love that shit.

True. Come to think of it, it is pretty late to get whipped up in the frenzy they do...but they do it none the less.

Agree on the starbucks passion tea. I rarely go there but that drink is on my short list.
