Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

I would love to hear from some of JG's former players like Monte Coleman on LA comments about JG. Monte would kick and wipe his ASS with Lavar Arrington.

LAVAR=ASS

Anyone have any toilet paper so I can wipe my LAVAR?

No, it's new article, fresh full of "look at poor me" quotes from LA.

[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3696132"]ESPN - LaVar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a 'coward' for leaving[/URL]

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Just read the article over at ESPN. Lavar sounds bitter, and lame. Talked about JG and money?? Seems like he could be a lot clearer if he gave back some of the millions he got.
And he said Dan Snyder was scared of him?? Does he mean physically? I can't see Snyder being scared of him saying stupid stuff. Geez, go to NY and open a restaurant there.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Let's see, he's had beefs with Snyder, Gibbs, and Williams. Anyone noticing a trend?

Perhaps the problem is Arrington himself.

Good to see Arrington still has that star mentality. It's all about him, everyone else is just out to screw him over. Funny thing is he still thinks the fans love him.

He did give back some of his money to get released from the Skins.

lavar take a leap you sorry pathetic loser

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

I think LA is just upset at how his career went and he's not one to except the responsibility. He was once a great talent who was never able to put it all together and when he looks back on his career he realizes what a huge disappointment he truly was and so instead of being a man and accepting responsibility he acts like a child and blames someone else.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Lavar Arrogant? Anything this guy has to say is not worth listening to. He is a legend in his own mind.

Just ask Lavar I'm sure that is the Redskins fault to! Or it might just be JOES FAULT, OR GREGGS OR DANS OR ANYBODY HE CAN REMEMBER FROM THE REDSKINS.....

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

[quote=Southpaw;499555]LaVar has become a crybaby and these particular comments are just sad, but I find it hard to believe than anyone with an ounce of football knowledge(including Gregg Williams), thinks that in 2005, Warrick Holdman was a better option at outside linebacker than LaVar Arrington.[/quote]

Certainly LaVar had more talent and Holdman was getting pushed around BUT at least Holdman could be counted on to be in the right general area. With LaVar it became obvious to all but the diehard LaVar Lovers that there were times it was like playing with 10 men on the field. It was Brandon Lloyd before Lloyd was here - Great talent, zero accountability.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Look I think the majority of us believed that LA could perform better than Warrick Holdman, who was pretty much done as a player. I was one of them. For whatever reason that we'll probably never know, LA didn't get on the field much in his last season. When he did he had some good games. Was it the injury? Was it his attitude? Study habits? Who knows and quite honestly i don't care anymore.

LA probably believes in the conspiracy moon landing, the Cubans killed JFK, and whatever else. He's just out there. Why not just let it go? Let it go, LA. Maybe in a few years people will forget about your dumb quotes.

I want to like the guy, but damn.

Based on his appearances on Wash Post live and the Pregame show and his new sports bar business he is obviously looking to make a living off his status as a former Redskin. Yet he decides to trash the most beloved figure in Washington Sports history...nice job dumbarse...don't let the door hit you in arse on the way out!

Oh get off your self-righteous pedestal. Let's not all act like it's all LaVar. Everyone is culpable in what went down. Snyder, Gibbs, Williams, and Dale Lindsey could have done things better, and seeing how Lindsey was fired for poor job performance I don't think you lot should be jumping on LaVar's throat like vampires. Clearly LaVar is still bitter but you guys don't seem too far behind.

[quote=Mattyk72;499500]What did Gibbs do to get him hurt or involved in a motorcycle crash??

[/quote]

A series of events took place after Gibbs was hired resulted in Lavar going out on a motorcycle that particular day which resulted in the injury that forced Lavar into early retirement. It is possible that if Gibbs wasn't hired Lavar never would have gone out that day and crashed.

Other then that I can't think of what Gibbs did to hurt Lavar. The universe works in mysterious ways :D

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

It's important to mention that when Arrington finally earned his way onto the field in the Grilliams' scheme, he was an absolute monster.

I'm kinda surprised he gave up football at such an early age. No doubt he had a flare for the boneheaded move, but if he had taken the 2007 off to heal from his motorcycle injury, someone would be employing him right now.

Actually, I find it a bit humorous. Back in '05 the LaVar Love was flowing, he could do no wrong and those foolish coaches just were on an ego trip. Perhaps, just perhaps, LaVar's attitude had something to do with the way he was treated. I thought he was an ass then and just enjoy the continual vindication he provides me.

Truthfully, we will never know who's to blame for what. The firing of Lindsay seems evidence of something, what I don't know. Certainly, Williams was a "my way or the highway" kind of coach. As for Gibbs, I have to admit I just don't get LaVar's vitriol. Is he angry that Gibbs didn't intervene on his behalf? Is mad that Gibbs basically cut off direct communication between Snyder and his favorites (if that happened)? I just don't get it. Is there any other Gibbs coached player that has been so outspokenly hateful to him? I can't think of anyone.

With that said - it speaks to how much the fans actually did love him that he continually gets this kind of reaction. For so long he was the face of the franchise. Maybe he just couldn't let go of that when the team was trying to turn the corner and reestablish a winning "team first" attitude.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Why all the hating? That's so dumb don't you think... and it's really not important, the skins seem to be doing much better with out the both of them so why would any skins or fans give a ish about the whole comment that was supposed to be said??? WOW..

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

I used to like Lavar. If he thought all those things then Why did he want to come back to us. He doesnt even belong in this organization. Truely classless. Bye Hater Bye Hater.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

hey everyone, its Lavar's opinion. Joe Gibbs' earns more respect for not playing the media game with him.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Let's see...

- Our team is at an unexpected 6-3
- The team's top two offensive weapons maybe out this Sunday
- We have a crucial game against a hated opponent
- The defense acquired a possibly very good player for cheap

Yet fans are concerned about what an ex-player said about an ex-coach? Man, you'd think this is the preseason or something like that to give five pages to this thread.

I don't see how this is any worse than 5 pages on the release of our 4th string CB.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

I think LA is crying sour grapes but I do think there is a grain of truth in what he says about Gibbs coming back for the $ for his NASCAR team.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

LaVar kind of reappeared on the scene here in DC at Sean Taylor's funeral. If you recall, LaVar spoke of rebuilding bridges that had been burned during his divorce from the team. He said all of this with tears in his eyes (which I felt were fake). I never heard where he was close to Sean like the other speakers at his funeral; it just felt weird to me that he was even speaking at all up there. He spoke vaguely and in generalities, not specifics, about his relationship with Sean. I just felt that his entire "speech" was a sham and a fraud. It felt to me like it was a desperate attempt to grab attention by someone who had fallen out of the spotlight.

I feel that this latest episode is an extension of that. He's trying to make himself relevant when he knows he no longer is. The same thing with the restaurant. "If I build a huge restaurant and put my name on it, everyone will want to come here and be my friend." IMO, he has issues; probably in much the same way most NFL players do (at some level), but LaVar has manifested his in a disgusting fashion thus far.

I don't believe that at all. JG's NASCAR team has made Joe Gibbs a very very wealthy man. He makes more with NASCAR than he ever did with football. Even with the $5.5million salary he pulled with the Skins from 04-07.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

The thought that Gibbs came back for the money is pure BS.

At his age he didn't need to come back to 18 hour days and the stress and pressure that comes along with running a NFL team for a paycheck. The thought of that just goes against everything the man is about.

And where would you find that grain? Do you have any evidence that JGR was in need of cash?

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

Arrington is an idiot.

Gibbs is high class, always has been, always will be.

Lavar is confusing courage and testosterone.
Gibbs is filled with courage, Lavar is only filled with testosterone.
Only one of these fades with age.

Grow up Lavar....you just weren't that great....and, you sucked at taking coaching, which explains why you were often out of position....that spells A-R-R-O-G-A-N-C-E.

Gibbs doesn't like arrogant, uncoachable players, I'd cut you too unless you'd take situational pass rusher money....which you didn't!

I used to listen to Lavar, now I have lost all respect for anything that comes out of your mouth...you IDIOT!!!

And this is 5 pages because calling Gibbs a Coward by an ex SKIN is BETRAYAL and completely bogus.

Gibbs is the best coach the Skins ever had.
He had nothing to gain and everything to lose to come back...yet he risked his good name to bring respectability back to the Skins....that is certainly not what a coward would do.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

I recall reading in various publications that Gibbs racing wasnt going broke by any means but it wasnt a cash cow either. Racing is a very expensive sport and Snyder made Gibbs an offer he couldnt refuse.

Dont get me wrong, I dont think that the only reason Gibbs came back was to get $ for his race team but I do think the $ was a major factor in his return to coaching.

As for LA, I agree with cpayne. This is LA trying to get himself back in the media and make himself somehow relevant again. He does have issues some of which hurt him in becoming the great LB that we all thought he would be.

Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward
 

[quote=Southpaw;499555]Warrick Holdman was a better option at outside linebacker than LaVar Arrington.[/quote]

I think you just nailed the source of the bitterness here.

At least Holdman did what his coaches said to do...Arrington did not play within the scheme and couldn't be trusted on the field.

This thread has really gone over board. Ok, I get that people do not like what LA said about Gibbs and I understand that but all the other attacks are getting bad. Most bashing him here for his play on the field used words such as "BEAST" to describe his play on the field. A bunch of people here were ticketed that he was not on the field more often and spoke out against GW and the front office. Now the same people are using the words like OVERATED and such just to bash him some more. Now we have moved it to ST death and how LA felt about ST. Who knows maybe LA has tried to patch thing up with Snyder but maybe Snyder holds the grudge. Its not like we have never seen Snyder do that before.

CPAYNE5 you say you never heard LA say how close he was to ST in his speach but the little part I found it seem as he did.

LaVar:
[He started by speaking of how he is "guilty of moving on," in football, in life, not taking the time to look back.] "This situation has forced me to face those issues that sometimes you really don't want to face. You imagine that your boys and your loves ones are okay and always will be. Sean, I love you as my brother, as my friend ... the rest of my fellows and my teammates that I never took the opportunity to tell you how much I love you guys, this is the opportunity to do it. I'm going to miss him with all my heart. ... I thought when he came to the Redskins that I was his guardian angel. I know he was one of my guardian angels. He was there for me. Today, he's one of mine."
After a song, Sean's 14-year-old sister, Jazmin Taylor spoke through tears. "All I want to see is his smile again. He had the best smile in the world." ... and "I know he can hear me. I'm waiting to see you again, but I know you are home."

I agree with you. I think it was a factor too. But everyone is in it for the money. The NFL is big business. Joe Gibbs is a businessman and a very smart one. He got his extra sponsor with Fed Ex. If you ask me it was a smart as hell move on his part. But it's not like he was sitting around and working 8 hour days.
