## Summary

Rams safety Quentin Lake apologised to Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert after describing his passes as “throwing deli meat” on a podcast. The remark followed Lake’s interception against the Chargers and was presented as sports banter, though Lake said he wanted to make clear he meant no disrespect.

Lake told the Los Angeles Times he had sent Herbert a text but did not know whether it had been read or received a reply. The article says Herbert had thrown ten interceptions, while the Chargers were 0-7 at the time; it argues that the criticism was understandable but that light-hearted off-field trash talk is part of the sport.
