    I agree, that statement is WAY off. Tomlinson is a pure class act. He never talks trash, he never does excessive celebrations. He is the most humble superstar there is. He had the one outburst this weekend, but that was because he didnt like how they mocked Merrimans dance, or them stomping and dancing on their emblem. He admitted they were the better team.

    There's no doubt this kid has talent but he'll need to score more next year. If I read correctly, Florida is losing nine starters on defense. Now I'm sure they'll have quality backups but doubt they will be able to pick up where this year's team left off. (at least not for the first month or so) With that in mind, Florida will probably need to score more points which should equate to Tebow throwing more and running less.

    If that happens, then we'll see if he's a complete QB. He really didn't have to run the offense this year as most plays were designed for him. Will he be able to read defenses and make adjustments? Only time will tell. Hopefully we'll shut him down.

    I like LT and agree he's been a classy guy. I was referring to his comments this weekend. He's never had a problem with his steroid feak teammate acting like an idiot in their opponents' face but couldn't take it when his team choked. I just think that's hypocritical.

    I agree, it is very hypocritical. Especially considering Merriman was caught juicing.

    Still, I think during a game the dances and celebrations are OK. After a game though I do feel its classless. During a game I see it as just being emotional and letting it out. Almost everyone is accepting of their own, but dont like when another does it. Take this thread for instance lets look at this thread. A lot are complaining about Tebows fist pumping. Yet, no one complains when Landry talks smack after a big hit, which I often see from him. Its easier to criticize when its someone else.

    The lights out thing isn't even that bad, what LT was referring to was that the chargers never mocked the home team at their stadium after winning. There's a difference. when they blew out the patriots in foxborough they wished them well and were classy but you can't say the same for the patriots. like he said they already won 3 super bowls, act like you've been there before. but it basically just comes down to everyone(media) overreacting anyways.
