Why does he have a facemask that makes him look like Darth Vader?

Oh, and he sucks this year.

Seriously, does anyone know why. His facemask has changed quite a bit this year and it really looks intentional to me. Any Chugger fans here to explain??

Last year, I got the #1 overall FF pick and got Shaun Alexander. This year I got the #1 overall and took LT. Coincidence?

2KBack · 09-17-2007, 11:28 PM

looks pretty bad ass to me. Like a train

TheChamp24 · 09-17-2007, 11:29 PM

Yeah, in a pay league, I got the 1st pick. LT got me 1 fricken point this week. GG
Its funny how I went up against someone who has Carson Palmer, and it looks like I might win. Even though Palmer got him 42 points, the rest of his team has 29. I have 74 at the moment, with Akers and he has Philly's defense. Can't believe I'm going to win this as Akers is about to hit another field goal. Amazing...

This man does not know how to get a team ready on Sunday.

TheChamp24 · 09-17-2007, 11:33 PM

But Kaylore, the Chargers have great talent, and the teams Norv coached weren't any good anyways! He'll get this team to the Super Bowl! Coaching doesn't matter!

This is his last chance. If he cant do anything with that much talent, he'll never do anything as a head coach.

Actually, he has this rash......

azbroncfan · 09-18-2007, 01:24 AM

Because this so called classy player is looking for a reason to step out and draw attention to himself. Showed how classy he was once someone did the same thing his teammate does last year in the playoff game.

I don't see what the big deal with the facemask is. So he has a different facemask and is trying to draw attention to himself?
Heck, I doubt anyone but Charger fans knew he had a different facemask until this thread.

Don't sweat it.

Some people like to b**** and moan about anything.

I never noticed the new face mask either and why it's a big deal, who knows?

No, I saw it in the game and wondered about it. My young son said he thought it looked cool and wants one.

You have problems at home don't you.

fontaine · 09-18-2007, 04:33 AM

The NFL doesn't allow you to sport visors without medical reasons.

In LT's case I think he has some form of light sensitivity, where in the past, he's claimed, has led to migraines.

If he just did it to look badass then every other RB in the league would be sporting it as well. The reason why the NFL doesn't allow just anyone to wear it is because it gives you an unfair advantage where defenders can't read your eyes, and hence in a RBs case, can't predict where they're going to run to.

As for the facemask itself, I have no friggin' idea.

beat me to it. he has to have permission from the league to wear it.
however, since it does give him an advantage, at least the league should mitigate it a little by making him wear goggles. or let anyone who wants to, wear the tint.

I noticed it right away... The next thing I noticed is that the mask's are black. Shouldn't they be blue or light blue to match the uni's?
