Lights Out!!!!!


So is the "Lights Out" nick name given to recently suspended roid boy Shawn Merriman in reference to what he does to opponents or the lights being off upstairs? In this day and age of competition and short lived careers in pro sports it's not surprising that players are looking for any edge they can get. Sadly, taking the short cut hardly ever works out, see Bosworth, Brian. So is Shawn Merriman an all-pro Lawrence Taylor wannabe (hey, at least Merriman's not playing whiled coked up, he's got that going for him which is nice) or someone that had the talent elevated by illegal substances? Time will tell, but it's a shame that someone that looked to be the next dominant defensive player will for ever have a shadow of doubt cast over him due to his complete lack of judgment. Should have called Greg Anderson, he'd have taken the fall for him for a small fee.

(I'm thinking he must have been off the juice when Todd Heap dragged him on his way to a TD in the Chargers loss to the Ratbirds earlier this month, pictured above)

Turn out the lights, the party's over...at least for the next four weeks for Shawn Merriman
