Why is LT the go-to-guy for this all of a sudden? This is the same player who had a decade long reputation as someone who pouts and alienates his team mates. Every single SD season ended with him either mad at the QB, mad at the HC and pouting on the sideline. His shitty attitude wasn't a secret and was only tolerated because he was such a dynamic playmaker. Now that he's out of the league he's making himself the defacto forensic psychologist of the Jets? He ain't in the damn locker room. He hasn't been on the same team as Tebow and half our offense. Go away!
Just because LT may have pouted a lot doesn't make his assessment here incorrect. Bart Scott has had no problem in the past making his feelings known to anybody who will listen. Especially if that person is holding a camera or audio recording device. He made such a big deal about a media blackout as if anybody in the media would've really cared. Now that the team isn't playing well (again) and people are pointing fingers, Scott wants to make sure people know his feelings (because we hang on his every word of course). So the best way to get around the media boycott he's leading is to make anonymous statements. Would that surprise anybody? He's a loud mouth and the only way to get out of the corner he's backed himself into (the media boycott) is to talk his shit without his name being tied to it. But this is all if anybody besides himself actually took his little media boycott seriously. Bart Scott is an attention whore who is more than likely using his time with the NEW YORK Jets as an audition for a future job as a NFL analyst than he has used it for actually playing great football.
Plus when it comes to LT did anything he say during his time in San Diego turn out to be a lie? Look at the Chargers now. LT as a running back knew his window to win a Super Bowl was shorter than either Rivers or Norv Turner's. I'd be angry too if I had a QB and HC that collapse like Rivers and Turner did/do. Plus their GM and ownership isn't any better. No wonder he put a Jets logo tattoo on his other leg his first year with the team. LT may not have been the happy warrior in San Diego but he wasn't a liar either.
