It started back in 2007, and now has officially elevated Ladainian Tomlinson to the top of the VikingsTailgate.com BeerSpillers List 2010 when shunned the Vikings Free Agency offer and left to go play for the New York Jets.

Frankly, we don’t like NFL players who take Viking jerseys as Souvenirs and run off to the Big Apple to sign elsewhere.  In 2007, with LT on my Fantasy Football team in the championship game, he gets hurt in the last  NFL game of the season vs.  Colts and don’t find the end zone? My fantasy team loses in the Championship by 1 point.

Later in the NFL  playoffs, after a regular season where LT sets all  sorts of NFL records, his Chargers team lays an egg at home, and literally blows up under his so called “leadership.”  (Sounds like good Viking Football BTW). Worst of all. after that loss, LT walks off the field like a sore loser, and refused to give the Patriots any credit at all for their win. He calls the Patriots and their coaches classless becuase they mocked Shawne Merriman’s “I almost gotta a sack dance”?

“When you go to the middle of our field, when you start doing the dance that Shawne Merriman is known for, that’s disrespectful to me. And I can’t sit there and watch that. And so, yeah, I was very upset. And just the fact that they showed no class at all. Absolutely no class. And maybe that comes from their head coach. So you know, there you have it.”

So here’s big Metrodome Beer for you LT! Enjoy the suds on that new green jersey in New York City. We truly hope you never get that ring you so desire!
