OK, I don't want to beat this into the ground or anything, but the Chargers were really pissed at us for having "no class" after imitating the Shawne Merriman dance. Well, take a look in the mirror, because this is a video of Merriman leading a "Brady Sucks" cheer after saying he's going to "Hit Tom Brady right in his mouth."
For good measure, here's Wilfork doing the dance:
OK, and I promise that this is the last time you hear about this "classy" Chargers team on this page, at least until they get back from golfing.

When saw Tomlinson's press conference after the game I wasn't surprised that he lashed out, it was what he actually said that surprised me. The telecast showed him getting into it with a few Pats players at the end of the game so you knew the guy was upset at losing such a close, and hard fought, game. His comments about the Patriots' behavior being a reflection of their coach was as unclassy as the celebration might have been.
Did the Pats need to mimic the Merriman sack dance at midfield? No, but an emotional game triggers an emotional response. Personally, I prefer our team maintaining composure, that is hwat this team has prided itself on for years.
I think Tomlinson needs to look at his own teammates and call them out for being without class. Do a sack dance when you sack the QB, not when you get some pressure in the 1st Q and Brady throws it away. I believe we picked up the first down the next play anyway. That headbutt and taunting from the DB on Daniel Graham was uncalled for.
The Chargers also had many off the field problems since the end of last year as well as the suspension of Merriman this year for steroid use. LaDanian may be a great player but he needs to look at his own locker room before he goes overboard with sour grapes.
