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.

[electricrelish]

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]

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]

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!

[dope man]

Tip of the hat to LT, best wishes in retirement!!!

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.

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Have to see the class he is up against to decide if he is a first ballot HOF'er.

I'm really glad to see him retire as a Bolt. He'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer for sure.

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.

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.

It's fine with me if he is, and I think it more than likely that he will be.    I'll just wait to see who else is in the class.

[nuke'em ttg]

LT2, Preist Holmes, Marshall Faulk, i could never draft those guys in my local and they killed me every year. Hope he's healthy

[Big Ernie McCracken]

Ryan Mathews better hope it's only for a day or he might lose some reps to the old guy

He is the class.

He'll certainly be the class of the class.

When I see class and Tomlinson in the same sentence I remember him pouting on the end of the bench.


Helluva back in his day though

Unfortunately, we remember that as well. Regardless, its nice to see him come home.

When I say "class of the class", I remember his statistical body of work in the NFL.

[polksalet]

Bettis was better.

[Cunning Runt]

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.

I agree. I don't get the 1 day signings.
