The San Diego Union Tribune is reporting that Shawne Merriman will play through his knee pain this year. It was reported a couple days ago that Merriman has two torn ligaments in his knee, and that his doctors were not sure if he was going to be able to play. That was till today, when he came out and publicly states that he would play the 2008 season for the Chargers. Personally, I hate this guy, and his stupid little dance every time he does something good (same reason I hate Seau), but I have to admit that this is very badass. I know they are going to have him on all kinds of drugs and shots so that he can play through the pain, but this guy is only 24 years old. He really could have (and maybe should have) sat out the season, and came back strong in 2009. I don't know if it is the right decision, but maybe Merriman knows that the window for the Chargers to win a championship is closing, and the Chargers will need him to have any shot.
