tazinib1 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 the Chargers. I'm very pleased to see this as I was not sure if the bridges burnt were beyond repair. Glad to see LT retiring as a Bolt. News conference should be tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricrelish Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 After all the crap that AJ Smith talked, I'm surprised by this move. Why does anyone care what team he retires with when we all will remember that his last team was the Jets. When LT goes into the Hall of Fame, it will be as a Charger because that's when all of his HOF stats were made. Why buckle down and do anything with that prick AJ Smith?

Ditkaless Wonders Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 An impressive back. Perhaps one of the last workhorses we may see for a while with the NFL seemingly evolving away from that style of play. Here's to hoping his next Act in life is productive and successful.

rebdog Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 terrific years with the Chargers. so fun to watch. only wish there could have been more team success during that time. and quite honestly, he'd be a better pickup as a backup/3rd down RB than Ronnie Brown. thanks for the memories LT2!

kcmast Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 ESPN has a poll asking whether LT is a Hall of Famer. 16% have voted no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 ESPN has a poll asking whether LT is a Hall of Famer. 16% have voted no. They are idiots. He'll be a first ballot HOF in 5 years. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm really glad to see him retire as a Bolt. He'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Have to see the class he is up against to decide if he is a first ballot HOF'er. Eh? 5th All time leading rusher 3rd All time rushing TD's NFL record 28 rushing TD's 2006 MVP That doesn't include his receiving stats. I'll stop there. 1st ballot HOF'r. Take it to the bank.

bushwacked Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ESPN has a poll asking whether LT is a Hall of Famer. 16% have voted no. That's an incredibly low percentage. Not trying to make this political but there are probably more people who think that George W and Obama conspired to fly jets into the world trade centers.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 He'll ceertainly be the class of the class.

Cunning Runt Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Dude averaged like 3 TDs a game toward the end of the year the year he broke the record. I was fortunate enough to ride him to our FF champioship. Great back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
