The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t even win at home against the lowly Oakland Raiders.
The New England Patriots couldn’t hold a 9-point lead vs. the Miami Dolphins.
So much for the six-time champion Steelers and the three-time champion Patriots (all in this millennium.)
You want someone with real class in 2009?
How about trying LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers?
As soon as LT passed former Cleveland Browns great Jim Brown for eighth on the all-time rushing list, he knew what to do Sunday.
Tomlinson immediately patted his heart and saluted Brown from where he was sitting in the stands.
Earlier this season, Brown had stated the Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings was the most complete back in the NFL.
Even though this was a slight to Tomlinson, it did not impair his sight of NFL history.
Of all the classy moves in the NFL this weekend, none was more significant than Tomlinson saluting Brown.

It certainly was a classy move by LT to salute Jim Brown as he passed his record, even after the slight by Brown earlier this year. LT is a great back in the league and should not be slighted by anyone.
