What the heck is he talkin about complaint?

Chargers Schedule:
Rams
Browns
Bengals
Broncos
Raiders
What he is saying is that Merriman never had any intention of a legitimate appeal. If he doesnt file for an appeal then he misses the Rams, Browns, Bengals and Broncos. Since he did appeal (and then drop it) he now misses the Browns, Bengals, Broncos and Raiders games.
So he manipulated the system so that he could be on the field against the tougher opponent. Rams instead of Raiders.
