    SUMMARY: Those Titans accused of taking cheap shots on Chargers Shawne Merriman denied it yesterday. After he hit Vince Young on a handoff temporarily knocking him from the game, Merriman alleged a crack-back block by Ben Hartsock, then a hit by Kevin Mawae and David Stewart, that caused Merriman to sprain his knee. “I guess I’ve had my 15 minutes of fame is what happened,” Hartsock said. “I’ve spent more time on SportsCenter this week than in my entire career up to this point.” Though Mawae has been accused of playing dirty at times, he claims the hit on Merriman was legit. “I understand that there is some dialogue that he thinks I took a cheap shot on him,” Mawae said. “It is what it is. I’m sorry he got hurt. There was no intention by it. I was just downfield trying to make a block. It happens.”

    Ben Hartsock, Kevin Mawae and David Stewart goos job guys, i would haven been more happy if it was for the rest of the season, i dont like merriman cause he did those steroids and the 22 or so sacks he got a year or two back werent legit cause of it.

    IMO as long as the hits were not illegal who cares. The one good thing to come out of the SD game was that the OL and LW played like champions. Hopefully we can see that more down the road. We need that intensity on every play.

    The Chargers cry if they get hit...they cry if someone does their dances......they cry when they lose in the first round of the playoffs

    They talk trash and promote being tough, but I swear, those players complain more than anyone else in the league, even the jets.

    Please..no more crap about Steroid Boy. Wasn't he the one who horse collared Brown on his TD run???

    Both he and LT are some of the biggest whiners.

    Another team that approaches this level of whining (if and when they lose) is the Patriots. Remember the whinefest last year when Wade blocked Harrison (injuring his knee) during the last regular season game last year?
