Tomlinson to stay with Chargers

Well, those who may have dreamed of seeing LT reunited in the backfield with his good friend Drew this season have just had that dream shattered. He just worked out a new contract with the Chargers. This is from ESPN:

LaDainian Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargers restructured the final three years of his contract in a deal that gives the team some needed cap room and it gives Tomlinson more job security.

Complete details of the breakdown weren't available Tuesday night. According to a source, Tomlinson won't take a pay cut from his $6.725 million salary in 2009 but the deal was restructured to give the team a cap break in 2009. Tomlinson's cap number in 2009 was scheduled to be $8,791,666.

Tomlinson said, "I love San Diego and being a part of this team with my teammates. My No. 1 priority was to stay here in San Diego. I truly believe this is the place that gives me the best chance to be successful and win a championship. I want to finish the job we started when I got here eight years ago. My heart has always been in San Diego. I couldn't imagine putting on another uniform."

Really LT? Not even a black and gold uniform?

PT needs head, body and spirit right to be the surprise player of the year and hit the 1,000 yard mark!

He has a tendency to sprain his vagina before big games anyway.
