Playoff Preview: Chargers at Steelers with LaDainian Tomlinson

Today, we preview the weekend’s playoff games with a whole buncha celebrity guests. To discuss the exciting San Diego-Pittsburgh matchup, here’s Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

First off, are you feeling okay? Right now, there’s still some question about your availability for the game in Pittsburgh. Groin injuries would be bad for any running back, and especially for your type of game. Can you be 100 percent effective this weekend?

Alright, we don’t have to talk about that. But it has to be frustrating to be injured during the playoffs for a second year in a row. You work hard all season, and it’s like deja vu all over again. You must feel down sometimes. How do you work against that and get yourself pumped up for this game?

Okay, let’s just drop the injury talk altogether. Assuming you do play, you can’t be looking forward to playing against that tough Steeler defense. Do you think your offensive line can open up some holes for your to do your thing? Or do you think the new threat of Darren Sproles will allow you to go unnoticed and sneak up on Pittsburgh?

I get it, you don’t wanna give away any secrets. Here’s a fun question: You’ve been one of the best fantasy players for the past few years. I mean, there’s not a lot of players out there who can run, catch and throw touchdowns! Would you pick yourself first in a fantasy league?
