End of the line for Tomlinson as member of Chargers

After nine colorful seasons with the San Diego Chargers, running back LaDainian Tominson was let go by the team.
Tominson was released by the Charges on Moday after being part of the franchise for long time.
The 30-year-old National Football League star is both happy and sad over the latest turn of event in his professional career.
The NFL most valuable player in 2006 had been a potent force for the team especially during his MVP season where he set the NFL single-season records with 31 touchdowns and 186 points.
After his MVP season however, it was a downhill trend for the running-back as his averages dropped from 113.4 in 2006 to only 52.1 in 2009.
In his storied NFL career, Tomlinson ranks eight on the all-time rushing list with 12,490 yards.
His 138 career rushing touchdowns rank second, and his 153 total touchdowns rank third.
Chargers general manager A.J. Smith expressed sadness over the decision of the team to drop Tomlinson who had been a loyal and efficient member of the team.
Smith said it is very hard t o let go Smith but they decided to make the tough act for the sake of the future of the NFL team.
Tomlinson for his part is both sad and hapoy with the decision of the Chargers to drop him from their roster.
He said having served the Chargers for sometime he feel sad that he will not be part of the team anymore.
Despite being sad, Tomlinson is happy since the situation gives him opportunity to look for other NFL teams that will give him a championship.
The NFL star said he remains optimistic that he can find a great NFL team that will get his services and offer him the chance to contend for the Superbowl.
The latest NFL event makes the next season of the premier professional football league in the planet more exciting for fans worldwide. Find San Diego Chargers tickets to support them live in stadium.
