As much as I couldn't stand him running all over the Broncos. He was a great athlete. And a stand up guy.

So he was considering it. Damn it.

But Tomlinson told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday that he considered joining one of the Chargers' main rivals -- the Denver Broncos. “I said, 'They got Peyton, they have a good defense already; they went deep in the playoffs with Tim Tebow, what are they going to do with Peyton?' I seriously thought about it." "The only team I really gave a thought to was the Broncos, because of Peyton (Manning)," Tomlinson told the Union-Tribune. "We talked. Tom (Condon, Tomlinson's agent) talked with them ... It made me pause a little (and think), 'Was this what I really want to do?' & "I said, 'They got Peyton, they have a good defense already; they went deep in the playoffs with Tim Tebow, what are they going to do with Peyton?' I seriously thought about it." But Tomlinson admitted the thought of him in Broncos orange was tough to imagine. "(Winning a Super Bowl) was the only reason I considered Denver," Tomlinson told the Union-Tribune. "At the same time, I thought, 'How much is a Super Bowl ring really going to do for you at this point?' Because it's not with the team I really wanted to do it with."

I honestly would feel the same way when he talks about getting a ring with a team he hasn't really put his heart into kind of thing. If I played with the Browns for 20 years, and then won a Super Bowl with the Giants the next season it just wouldn't be as special. Not to get an on going conversation going with LeBron, but I wonder if that ever messes with him any, if I were him, I'd want a Cavs ring more than a Heat ring.

Congrats to LaDainian Tomlinson on a Hall Of Fame career. One of my favourite players to watch albeit as a thorn in the side of my Indianapolis Colts more often than not.

I loved how he has been afforded the opportunity to retire as a San Diego Charger. Hats off to all involved. On a personal note, I hope Peyton Manning is given the same opportunity in Indianapolis.
