Hard to quibble with a mom

BUT:

- He’s LDT, not LT. (Unless she has another son named Lawrence Taylor?)
- Thought you had to have a ring to be a champion. (Unless she’s talking AFC West?)

I hate most everythinig about the chargers....

But LDT is a class act and I respect him a lot. As a fan of the game He is a champion in my book. And he is the apple of his momma eye. He is a good role model for what an nfl player should be.

Thanks for the fun story NYC.

My image is the Circa 1960-’61 Broncos home uniform sock. Some what folk lore to me ... but referred to as the clown sock by my Dad.

Good stuff NYC

Glad to see some of the boys giving some love to the military. It was clear it meant a lot to the airmen and to Orton, Stockly and Rulon. I am really impressed with Rulon as a young man and am pulling for him to have a great camp.

I loved when LTD got all bent out of shape when the Pats did the lights out dance on the San Diego logo after their 2006 playoff fiasco. Did that idiot bother to voice his displeasure when Rivers and his fruity band of brothers were doing the Mile High Salute to mock Denver just two weeks before San Diego blew their best ever Super Bowl shot?

Pot meet Kettle. I agree with trumanj, I’ve never liked LTD since..

The Pats knocking off a 14-2 Dolt team in the playoffs when the Dolts had what was easily the best team in the NFL, was classic San Diego Super Choker. Seeing the agony and displeasure on Rivers and LTD’s faces was almost as satisfying as a Bronco victory.
