thomlinson..is he the best

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

is this guy the mvp of the nfl or what..he can do it all..4tds again..wow..

[timmgirvan]

Yes...he is the real deal!

[IrishofNDMan]

yes, he is the best, and he is on my first place fantasy football team!!!

LT might be the best of ALL time when it's all said and done!

If the guy played in a true media market(Chi, NY, Dallas, etc) he'd be getting the due hes deserved.
Guy's unreal.
And how about Rivers? Of teh 4 guys drafted that year(Ben, Manning, Losman and Rivers) there is no doubt in my mind who wins more rings and accompishes more before they are all done.
Sidearm, schmidearm, the guy is poised and doesn't make dumb plays. He delivers well timed, accurate, and zipy throws. He hits backs, tight ends, and receivers. Guy is the goods and the biggest mistake the Giants ever made was not just keeping him instead of trading away future for a guy who has Jeff George written all over him.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

timmy g ,id..hes got to be the mvp..if doesent get it ill be shocked...and humble also not unlike the great walter payton...r.i.p..

[Ruffian2]

Both LT and Rivers had awesome games. I'm just pissed because it was against my boys. Grrr...

I'm sorry, but SD's sure wasn't much better until now with a rookie powerhouse.

LT is the best. (Wait a minute! I can't leave Sir Walter Payton out as the best - I'll give him a tie - LOL!)

(REMIND YOU THIS WAS WRITTEN after the 2003 season)

His 2,429 total yards in 2003 was the second-most in NFL history, only 59 yards shy of Marshall Faulk’s record (one, by the way, which is shattered if LT has a semblance of a supporting cast).
LT become the first player to ever rush for 1000+ yards and catch 100 or more passes in 2003.
Last year he became just the 5th player in NFL history to score 10 or more TDs in each of his first three seasons. The other four you might have heard of – Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, and Earl Campbell.
Tomlinson already has four 200+ yard rushing performances in his career, tied for second-most in NFL history with Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, and Barry Sanders. Two more and he catches O.J. Simpson for the all-time lead.
In just three seasons, he is already the Chargers’ all-time leader with seventeen 100-yard games.
He had three 70-yard plays in 2003.

Need your favorite NFL player to offer more than impressive exploits on the field? Pay attention.


Since 2002, Tomlinson has sponsored 21 kids from San Diego youth organizations and non-profits as part of his "L.T.’s 21 Club," giving them the opportunity to attend a Chargers home game. Each child who participates in L.T.’s 21 Club has field-side seats in the Chargers Community Corner, receives a t-shirt, and is given a coupon for a free hotdog and beverage during the game. Immediately after the game, Tomlinson treats these kids to dinner and distributes goodie bags filled with school supplies, books, and games.
In November 2003, Tomlinson hosted his "Second Annual Giving Thanks with L.T. & Friends Holiday Program," through which he distributed 1,000 Thanksgiving dinners to needy families from San Diego County. In addition, 21 kids were selected to enjoy a mini-shopping spree at Wal-Mart.
In May 2003, Tomlinson launched his "L.T. School is Cool Scholarship Fund" that awarded $1,000.00 scholarships toward their college education to ten graduating seniors from his alma mater, University High School in Waco, Texas. Students were selected based on academic excellence, community involvement, volunteerism, and letters of recommendation.
In June 2003, Tomlinson hosted his 2nd Annual Football Camp, "Camp L.T." at University High School. Over the past two years, more than 600 kids have participated in "Camp L.T."
In December 2003, Tomlinson hosted his "L.T.’s Touching Lives Holiday Program" distributing over 1,000 toys and videos to kids at Children’s Hospital and The Salvation Army.
This past February, Tomlinson hosted "The 2nd Annual LaDainian Tomlinson Celebrity Weekend." All proceeds raised from the Celebrity Golf Tournament benefited three worthy causes. The two-day event themed "Give Back to Impact" helped to improve the lives of children and families in the San Diego community.
In July of this year, Tomlinson will sponsor a family’s trip to Hawaii. The family will be selected from Make-A-Wish Foundation or Children’s Hospital Cancer Unit. Tomlinson will also provide the family with $1,500 spending money.

That is the biggest myth in the history of football. In every year but Sanders first and last the Lions had at least one offensive lineman make the Pro Bowl and even had two make it one year. In Tomlinson's entire career not a single SD offensive lineman has made the Pro Bowl.

the bucket and pgardn on exactly the same wavelength. I have never seen a player like Barry.

LT is the next closest thing I have seen to Barry. Not the same type of game breaking runner as Barry, but more power near the goal line. But what a fine man. Texas did not recruit him so he goes to TCU and stuffs it down our throats, too small, not fast enough in the 40, I love it when real football players make recruiters look like fools.
