If He Wants It, Make Him Earn It
With Dwight Lowery already occupying the #21 jersey, what’s it going to take for LT to pry the number away from Dwight Swipe? It’s common practice in the NFL for a lesser know player giving up a number to a more established player, that some sort of compensation be given as a thank you for the act.
Here’s some requests that Bent, R in CT of DamnedCT.com and I came up with that we’d ask LaDainian Tomlinson …
Bassett’s
- Make LT to do the full Electric Glide song for the team on the first day of training camp WITH crazy bearded guy from the video present.
- An Olympic sized swimming pool, full of Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder.
- His 2007 ESPY for Best Male Athlete.
- Ask LT for an HDTV, then when he brings in a Vizio, tell him to go back and “get a good one.”
- Get a promise that Lowery would get to do his introduction speech at the Hall of Fame.
- To name his first child, whether boy or girl, Dwight.
R in CT’s
- A season’s worth of (gently used) tinted helmet visors
- An autographed Charger powder blue jersey from Eric Weddle
- A coupon for one free dance lesson (includes electric glide and samba)
- The phone number of his favorite videographer
- One paid session with Nate Kaeding’s sports psychologist
- The vial of “energy juice” he found in Shawne Merrimen’s locker
Bent’s
- A commemerative plaque signifying the end of his career (dated 2008)
- A signed LT jersey (apparently Lowery was a big Giants fan as a kid)
- A big cushion to replace the one he gave Pierre Garcon
- A copy of LT’s yet-to-be-released sideline winterwear catalogue.
- $100,000 so that his contract becomes identical to TJ’s and we can reopen that debate

I love R in CTs Shawn Merriman “energy juice”…haha

BigKatt wants a ring says:
I’m gonna have to say swing and a miss for this one. Idk. I didn’t laugh. I think just seeing Lowery’s name gets me too pissed off.
-
Jim says:
I think the only thing Lowery should get is some aloe to soothe his skin after getting burned so badly.
-
Chargermom says:
The electric slide has to be included! Classic. The sports psychologist was good too.
I can’t imagine seeing Ladainian in any other number than 21. That would almost be blasphomous!
Could you imagine Farve in something other than 4?

I’ll give it some love. Amusing stuff.

John Z says:
Hey, are the Jets going to hang onto T-Rich? A good fullback makes a big difference.
-
Brendan says:
Last year he didn’t make a decision on coming back for a while (right before training camp, I believe). He’s probably going to do something similar this year, but I would think that he gave some kind of indication to Tanny about which way he is leaning and if he doesn’t think he’ll return Tanny probably would have brought in a cheap veteran by now.

The Electric Glide on the 1st day of training camp would be hilarious

i thought the Vizio line was pretty darn funny

I agree the vizio line made me laugh the hardest. He should ask for TY Law’s ankles back. He hadnt been the same since then maybe they will help him become a better corner… or Play safety!

have goodell flip a coin by himself in his office…. heads LT wins, tails lowery loses.

Lol the cushion to replace the one Garcion took
-
RichKotite2.0 says:
Your all missing the big picture here!
With TJ gone, we have to assume that LDT takes over TJ’s role when dealing with Rex Ryan (The Kissing Suzy Kolber Verison). Maybe Lowery can give LDT the #21 in exchange for the right to play TJ in the Rex Ryan cameos.

JesusRevis says:
LT has ALREADY earned it. He’s a hall of famer, Dwight Lowery should do the right thing and give the guy his number.
-
TB says:
T-Rich has not resigned with the Jets yet! I would not be a surprise if he signs with KC. Having a great full back make a world of difference and I hope they are able to get him back. As for the LT conference call today I was not impressed he did not sound happy to be coming here in the least bit. I maybe off on this but its just my opinion. Did any of you listen to the conference call? What were your thoughts?

Force LT to do the electric glide before the MNF game during week 1….with Rex Ryan.

Ben Nevis says:
Bent-
You should receive the BEST LIST AWARD here.
The plaque honoring the end of LT’s career is hilarious, as is the big cushion, as well as the $100,000 to reopen the Debate that Would Not Die.
Honorable mention should go to Bassett for including the Electric Slide.

@RK2.0
Shonn Greene will probably take that role now.

Off topic, the NYP’s Paul Schwartz said that the Jets will host a Thanksgiving Day night game this season!
“Long before this controversy, the Jets were thrown a bone by the league. The Post has learned the Jets informed some of their suite holders during Super Bowl week that they will host a Thanksgiving night game, a perk they are expected to announce during next week’s owners’ meetings.”

Wow! The Jets at home on Thanksgiving!

Here’s my own list of what we should ask LaDainian Tomlinson to do in order to get Lowery’s #21:
_______________
1. Make LT loan his agent to Leon.
2. Make LT listen to Woody rant for an hour about the commissioner’s coin toss.
3. Make LT wear TJ’s old number (20) during the preseason .
4. During the Jets opening game on MNF, make LT stand on the sidelines and sulk.
5. Trap LT in an elevator for an hour with Mike Francesa.

Bent,
The cushion line was beautiful.
-
The HDTV line was the most amusing……plus my brother just bought a Vizio and I killed him for it…
The Angel Navedo add in of naming his next child “LaDwight” since LaDainian’s wife’s name is LaTorsha was pretty good
-

“A big cushion to replace the one he gave Pierre Garcon” lol the truth is always funnier .. -

There are going to be some issues with the wifes on this one—and already have begun planning the tailgate. May have to be a sit down tailgate.

James in TN says:
I like the Vizio one because they are the most returned hdtv. They are junk.
-
bubbybrister/shovelpass says:
I liked the cushion line andthe plaque one too. Good stuff.
Ben – I thought the same thing…give LT #20 so the “experts” can drone ad nauseum about how LT is not TJ…

John on LI says:
R in CT’s “one-session with Nate Kaeding’s sport psychologist” is leaps and bounds by far the most hilarious thing I’ve read this month.
Where are the funny ones?
