Shawne Merriman did the right thing by shutting his season down. I was watching him carefully on Sunday and while he wasn't playing badly you could just tell he was not the same guy and it wasn't even close. I have some sources who told me the day after the game that the pain was so intense he knew it was time to give it up for the year. I commend him for trying for his teammates (and/or contract).
The problem that is still bothering me is that it was Merriman that had to make the decision when from the beginning it should have been the Chargers organization. In the end I believe karma will catch up with them for being so reckless with someone's career. Then again you have had to win something to have karma bite you in the ass and in the AJ Smith era they haven't won jacked unless you count losing playoff games they were heavily favored in.
it is a business man
Hey Mr.Littal do think there was something in his contract that got him more money if he played even if it was one game i mean damn he know he was not gonna play the hole season and to be honest i knew he wasnt going pass game 1. what about that sit out the hole season loose 3/4 million pland and gain 3/4 million..
