Pfft. Hate to pigeon hole someone, but that is the typical response from a Pats fan.
Why is that?
He bagged the Patriots for not being "classy" after the mocked Merriman's stupid 'Lights Out' dance when they won. The whole week before the game, Merriman talked it up about what he was going to do.
Anyone who has played a contact sport knows that there is nothing better than beating someone in that situation. I did similar things when I played rugby at school mocking other teams.
But then to pass the blame to Belichick, someone who is so unlikely to have told the players to do it that it is not funny. LT was making excuses out of thin air.
Saying "We'd beat them 9 times out of 10" is more "unclassy" than anything the Patriots did. It is especially funny that it took injuries to our Quarterbacks on offence and defence to go down for them to beat the Pats.
On the game he sat out, I don't know how healthy he was. But he was healthy enough to stay in his gear and sit there. He could have gone on even just as a diversion...
If he wasn't good to go back on, why did he sit in the same spot the 100 times the cameras showed him. He never even took his helmet off.
LT is a flashy player, and was very good. But if I were building a team, my running back would have a heart and want the ball every down. Look at Adrian Petersen, he makes a crucial fumble and he basically drags his team to victory. LT would sit on the bench and sulk.
