i seen merriman in person too, stood next to him. i was surprised how small he looked and wondered how the hell does he play linebacker in the nfl. this was a few months after the roid suspension.

he was very nice when i saw him, very reserved in a situation i would have probably lost my cool.

ps he did have a tall blond older escort lady with him. looked like a straight up high class escort.

heard the chargers have a file on all their players off field habits, merrimans is said to be large.

go skins!!

I sure as hell won't. Not sure SD will just let him walk though.

Well truth be told Over The Mountain posted a picture of himself on the forum a while ago. Turns out "over the mountain" is more then just a SN.

hahaha no way he is 6'4 imo. hes got broad shoulders but to me (when i saw him for the 5-10 mins or so and sized him up and as best my memory can be from a few years ago) he was a few inches short of 6'4 and thats being generous.

go skins!!

merriman needs to get out of that party town thats is san diego.

Merriman is a monster

Wouldve loved it if Skins drafted him or Ware over Rogers

And passed on Jason Campbell for Roddy White and drafted Derek Anderson in a later round

alas hindsight is 20/20

He is maybe 6'1...

Also, he doesn't party much in SD. He spends most of his free time in Los Angeles.

I could swear that I was on the Warpath. Did I wander into a Penthouse forum by mistake?

This case isn't going any where, and the victim was highly intoxicated according to SD Sheriff spokesperson.

Maybe you should judge every case on a case by case bases. You sound like a Hater who hates to see people get paid more than you make.

Im simply stating that MANY times society in general ignores the fact that someone is guilty, or might be, just because he can dunk a basketball, or sacks the quarterback for your favorite team. I feel like in alot of these situations people are walking around with blinders on. Race doesnt matter, there are ignorant people of every color.

Also.....Tila Tequila is a stupid slut, and most likely made all this crap up.

And if somewhat we could have end up with Drew Brees when he left SD, it would have been great.

I mean...those two were drafted right after Rogers, we couldve taken either of em and been better off...thats all Im saying....

[over the mountain]

^^ if my memory serves correct i thought we were def going cb that year and we had pacman jones ahead of carlos. so....yeah.

belicheck even said if hes such a genuis for picking brady he wouldnt have waited until the 6th round. not sure what this is worth or even relevant.

the idea of merriman joining the skins has passed my mind. heard espn speculate it wouldnt even take a 1st rounder at this point but in no way do i think we make a trade at this stage, especialy with merriman having some many question marks that need to be answered this year.

go skins!!

thats where I disagree with the draft for need over the best talent available (to an extent) theory. Obviously it depends...but in this case we missed out.

drafting for talent always puts you in position to stockpile and later trade for needs if so inclined, but at least it gives you both options

I've heard that from Bellicheck also, but why would he draft him much higher when he didn't really have to, I doubt he was projected much higher on anyone elses boards, coming out of Michigan

I'm just more thinking out loud...after I saw it mentioned that someone would rather have Rogers over Shawne, or something to that effect

I think that Rogers is quite talented. He strikes me as both a need pick and a talent pick. Many folks had him very high on their draft boards.

Agreed and we could have been stuck with another top CB in that draft.......Pac-man Jones, lol.
