PFT:
MERRIMAN PHOTO WAS DOCTORED . . . BY THE CHARGERS?

We think we've finally figured out the mystery of the Merriman photo.

It was doctored. But not by us. Or by anyone looking to discredit Merriman. Instead, it was doctored by the Chargers, or by the league.

Merriman, as you might recall, stayed away from the Chargers' offseason workouts and minicamps in 2005, supposedly because he didn't like the terms of the team's injury guarantee.

But a headshot was needed, and it appears that Merriman's head and neck were grafted onto the body of the headshot generated by defensive tackle Jamal Williams.



So why was Williams wearing No. 97? Our understanding is that the team typically leaves several jerseys in the room where the pictures are taken, and that one of them in 2005 was No. 97.

None of this changes the fact that Merriman's face and neck are noticeably smaller than they were whenever the photo was taken, or that Merriman is smaller in his 2007 photo than he is in 2006.

Regardless, the apparently doctored image was used as Merriman's official headshot for 2005. Here it is on NFL.com. And also on the Getty Images site. We posted below a copy of the page from the 2005 media guide.

We hope that this finally closes the case.

That makes perfect sense. MJD really laid out Williams too, CBS just superimposed the numbers on the Chargers jerseys to fake that it was Merriman. Thosesly dogs.

Does nobody here understand that steroids don't cause the swelling of the head? It's HGH that does that. While it's pretty obvious that he'seither dropped or significantly changed his regimen, it's odd that he probably dropped HGH. HGH usage is so damn easy to get away with. There's notesting!!!
 
His stats from today's Ravens game...

7 tackles (led team)
3 for losses
1 sack
1 FF
3 hurries
3 hits

If the system used can feed on his strengths he produces.
