While the Chargers were generally complimentary of the Patriots following todays victory, one notable exception was center Nick Hardwick, who went off on Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour in an expletive-laden tirade caught by colleague Rob Bradford in the Chargers locker room.
There are 10 (bleeping) good players on that team, Hardwick said. But Richard Seymour is a dirty, cheap, little pompous (expletive).
Hardwick was only getting started.
Hes cheap and dirty and the head man just let him get away with it the whole time, Hardwick said. Theyve got 10 great players on that team and when Jarvis Green comes on the field, theyve got 11 great players who compete how youre supposed to play. But Richard Seymour is the biggest (expletive) Ive ever played.
Hardwick said Seymour usually plays this way, but that he, took it it to another level today.
Head slapping, foot stomping in the pile, running by and throwing punches in your back, Hardwick said. Hes a (expletive).
There were a lot of things he did. Theres a field goal where he was stomping feet. Who stomps feet? And the officials werent doing anything about it. He plays like a punk.
