LaDainian Tomlinson faked an injury during the Denver Broncos game to make a monumental playoff comeback–dare I say “Willis Reed-like”–to regain the respect of Charger fans, who questioned his manhood.  The only catch was the “injursham” to the tendon that connects the pubic bone (isn’t that called the wiener?) was just the excuse Norv Turner needed to bench LT and play the giant midget Darren Sproles.  Sproles provided everything the Chargers needed to send the Colts packing, though one person outplayed him, punter Mike Scifres.   Tomlinson’s plan was a bust, but at least he still has his health.
