Tomlinson Now Regrets Post-Game Comments

Belichick, Tomlinson Make Up
Where Are the Nat'l Media Apologies?

San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson "kind of apologized" for intimating that New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is classless.

You may remember that Tomlinson disgracefully impugned the entire Patriots organization after "some players" mimicked steroid user Shawne Merriman's insulting "Light's Out" celebration in the center of the field after New England against all odds defeated the Chargers, 24-21, in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.

Tomlinson said the Patriots "showed no class, and maybe that comes from the head coach."

It was later reported that only Ellis Hobbs imitated Merriman's mocking undulation -- far from "some players."

Now, three and a half weeks later, Tomlinson seemed reticent. From the wire reports:

While Tomlinson was clearly wrong, I question why it took so long for him to come to this conclusion, especially after he reiterated his allegations in the days following his tirade. Maybe, when he was face-to-face with Belichick, he was too gutless to say it again.

Tomlinson said that Belichick joked around with the players, and that "We even joked about the (Patriots-Chargers) game."

The previously classless Belichick, who never publicly uttered an unkind word about Tomlinson or his original comments, acted typically Belichick-ian when asked about the make-up session.

Now it's time for all the national media hacks who lined up to take shots at Belichick to apologize, too.

Think they will?

Neither do I.

Who's classless now?
