Legends never die. Thank You L.T.

Charger running back and Icon LaDainian Tomlinson is expected to be released before his $2 million dollar roster bonus kicks in.  This is the time all Charger fans have been dreading.  Tomlinson has been the face of the Bolt's since he entered the NFL in 2001.  He has broken every Charger offensive record possible, and surely will be missed.  Some believe that Tomlinson, who will be 31 years old in June has hit the wall in terms of production.  Charger fans seem to have forgotten the value of released fullback Lorenzo Neal, who paved the way for L.T's record breaking 31 touchdown season.  Yes he may have lost a step or two, but he is still a Charger legend and should be treated with more class.  When current head coach Norv Turner was hired the philosophy of a run first offense was greatly altered.  This along with the emergence of Darren Sproles have forced the organization to make a tough decision to cut times with the future hall of famer.   Bolt fans should never forget the contributions that L.T. has made on and off the field.  He will always be a Charger for life, and a legend in San Diego.  So in conclusion I just want to say Thank You L.T. for bringing back the Chargers to respectability once again.
