People Are Watching
The graceless behavior of LaDainian Tomlinson after San Diego's loss to New England on Sunday was disturbing, but not because, as most reported, the usually classy Tomlinson applied the first tarnish to his golden image.
No, what bothered me was how much Tomlinson's "don't disrespect us in our house" rhetoric sounded so much like what you read in news articles describing some senseless act of violence in Philadelphia or another city that usually ends up with one young person dead and another incarcerated for decades. SI's Peter King heard it too (see second page).
Maybe some of the Patriot players did act like jerks. But Tomlinson has to understand that there are people out there who keep track of more than his statistics.
