In the world of sports where big egos, and immature acts are unfortunate, but usual occurances, anyone who has ever been associated with LT has described him as the classiest player they have worked with; but I don't need anyone to tell me that after I watched his press conference today. The tears ( I would be crying too if I knew I would never get to wear that crispy powdered blue jersey again), and the emotions, symbolzed to me a man who has no fear of saying what's in his heart...let's just say he's no Brett Farve...yea im gonna spell it like it sounds. That was one of the realest things I have seen; in other words, his press conference was as real as Rafael Palmero's finger to the congress during his steroid hearing was fake. Emerging from a program like TCU, LT was a underdog 'till he started stomping all over NFL defenses; and thats because he was hungry. And I couldn't help but notice that after being released by the Chargers, LT is once again hungry. He's hungry...hungry for a trophy, a ring, a chance to put noice cancelling headphones on his baby's ears and raise him in the air in front of the entire football universe. I'm a realist and I know that LT blessed the Chargers with his best years already, and he's never going to get that burst back that he once had; but LT can definitely be a factor whereever he goes...and it's because HE WANTS TO PLAY! And if a team that has a chance of winning the Super Bowl doesn't want him, I know of a locker room that could use his knowledge and dilligence to improve... 21, get in your drop top phantom, get on Freeway 5, and go straight north till you get to the first exit that leads to the Oakland Raider's arena. Not only can they use LT to help Jamarcus grow up and develop leadership on a team that has a vacuum of many things (leadership being just one of them), but along the way he can teach Darren McFadden, and Fargas a few things so that they can run the ball even 10 percent of how LT ran it once upon a time for the chargers. Being an avid sports fan, and before that a human being, I cannot help but wish someone of LT's caliber and character all the best whereever he goes next...and whether he wins a super bowl or not...LT you are always going to be a champion...cuz you worked like one, you played like one, and you behaved like one...

and don't forget that he cried like a b!tch every time he lost to the patriots or because they danced his home field because his roided out teammate (merriman) did the most annoying celebration in the league when it looked like he was actually injecting himself vigorously after each sack.
