Football Merriman must be training for a comeback.

Consistent1 · 06-10-2013, 10:35 AM

The best part is that he went right back out to a club. What a dumb-ass, and I used to respect him to a degree.

Merriman sure got a lot of attention for not much production. He got 10 sacks his first year, then 17 and 12.5 the next two years. After that, he totaled 6 sacks in the next five years. He was much ado about nothing.

Yeah... well... I think he stopped roiding up to become a loser.

I mean he got popped for PED"s and after a year his body completely started falling apart and he became a non-factor.

I don't think it's a reach to assume he owed a lot of his success to PED's.

well 17 sacks was pretty badass

I think the going right back to a club and hitting up Twitter about a stained shirt and lost sunglasses right after getting out of the hospital may be more impressive.

I'll spot him that season. But otherwise he was pretty meh. I wonder how much money he made those last five seasons when I had almost as many sacks as he did.

I agree. He was the greatest thing since sliced steroid-infused bread.

I remember seeing him and Trent Green together on some show related to the draft or something. Trent's not shrimpy by any means, but you wondered how a reasonably normal guy like Trent Green survived out there getting hit by monsters like Merriman. The guy was absolutely mammoth, and was nominally just a linebacker.

Back in 06 and 07 I used to sell alcohol in the gaslamp district in SD. He used to go to this beach bar at the Hard Rock called Intervention. Up close he is a massive individual and looked more like a LT than a LB. He was always surrounded by an entourage of Ho's and pissed out of his mind.

Hootie · 06-10-2013, 11:37 AM

he was definitely one of my least favorite players ever

I remember when Eli started slow and the Chargers got Rivers, Merriman and Kaeding for Eli and everyone was all like 'oh man what a great trade!!!'

Yeah I'm thinking the Giants won that one.

That might be a good order to take them in. Personal preferences I guess. But the xanies must bat in the three hole either way. ha
