NORV TURNER’S FISH DINNER WITH SHAWNE MERRIMAN 

Norv Turner grabs Shawne Merriman for a quick conversation after the Chargers get back from Jacksonville late Sunday night….

NT: “What a week, huh? I continue to suck donkey d*ck and you got lit up like Chinese firecracker by that Jags midget. How ‘bout a nice fish dinner this week?”

SM: “F*ck you, Norv. I hate you.”

NT: “Come on, big daddy. Nobody but the entire free-world and five Iranian’s with satellites saw you take that hit…..[Click Here for More]

HERE’S A SHOCKER…CHARGERS ARE NOT AN ELITE TEAM.
Mon 11.05.07

 SHAWNE MERRIMAN EATS MINNESOTA PURPLE JESUS HUMBLE PIE

The experience of being force fed a healthy serving of ‘rookie running back humble pie’ has left the San Diego Chargers shaking their ego’s and wondering WTF happened to them?   Prior to Sunday’s thrashing by Purple Jesus Adrian Peterson, he of 296 yards….and 3 TD’s….and unreal quickness…, the Chargers were riding high coming off three straight wins and regaining some of their 2006 swagger. After yesterday,

 ”We’re not an elite team at all,” LaDainian Tomlinson said. “We’re a team that’s in the middle of the pack and we’re struggling trying to win games.”

“I think you can try to blame it on Norv Turner, but I would love to see him go out and try to tackle somebody right now,” Shawne Merriman said.

How about blaming it on defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell?

“I would love to see Ted try to tackle somebody right now,” Merriman said. “The 11 players on the field are the ones who have to tackle. The coaches cannot go out and tackle for us.”  [LINK TO STORY]

I love it when athletes equate the rigors and the execution of their jobs with fans, owners, the media and coaches.  Yeah, Shawne, I agree.   The frickin’ last thing I want to see is Norv Turner fighting off a block and foolishly trying to arm tackle an explosive running back.  We, the fans, pay to watch you do that.  And man, did we get our money’s worth on Sunday!

MERRIMAN: LIGHTS OUT ON LIGHTS OUT
Mon 8.13.07

Shawne Merriman will not be performing his “Lights Out” dance after sacks this year.  In an effort to get the SD Chargers over the hump this year — God willing they do — Merriman has decided to tone down his act for the greater good. 

“I’ll do it one day again,” Merriman said. “Right now, I feel we’re trying to build something here. When I feel like we’ve got it all together maybe I’ll do it again. I’m never going to escape Lights Out. It’s just who I am, whether people like it or not. Some people say they love it, it’s entertaining, it gets us pumped up.

“Some people who have been around the game a long time say it’s immature, you shouldn’t do it. That’s their opinion. I’m Shawne Merriman. I’m going to act the way I act. But right now I feel like it’s important for me to help pull this thing together. Then I can go back to being myself. [SOURCE]

Wait a second, Shawne.  The sack-dance doesn’t make or not make a football team.  Maturity is not giving a fuck…doing your thang to hype the crowd or shove it in the opponents face!   As a Qualcomm patron I vote ‘Do it’!   It’s as football as apple pie….um….I mean, as LT not doing a touchdown dance.
