This is for Gibbsisgod who thinks the PFT just "makes things up". Here deal with the author and see what you think?

Angry Arrington is on defensive
BY ARTHUR STAPLE
Newsday Staff Correspondent

July 28, 2006


ALBANY -- Tom Coughlin does not need to worry about LaVar Arrington's motivation now that the linebacker is away from the Redskins. The chip still is squarely on Arrington's shoulder; if anything, maybe it's grown.

The Giants reported to camp yesterday, and a two-practice day will kick off with on-field workouts this morning. Michael Strahan declined to speak with reporters, and many other returning Giants offered the customary first-day platitudes about camp.

Not Arrington. He vented for nearly an hour to reporters outside his dorm, talking mostly about his undeserved bad reputation and wondering why he hears so much negativity about the Giants in the national football media.

"People want to hate on the Giants," he said. "I've heard negative statements about Eli [Manning], about the defense. 'Who's going to be the biggest flop this year?' They say the Giants. They hate us. They really hate on the Giants. I guess it's a great situation because people have always hated on me."

ESPN analyst and former Steeler Merril Hoge set off Arrington. According to Arrington, Hoge ripped him recently, which "really broke my heart. I go way back with this guy." Arrington said Hoge questioned whether the linebacker will fit in with Coughlin.

"I seem to be the guy that people love to hate, for some strange reason," Arrington said. "I play with a chip on my shoulder because it just seems like it's much better to play as an underdog than it is to play as the guy everybody's chasing. I've been fighting this bad reputation and I just want to come in and contribute."

Bandwagon, you seem to take my comments personally. All I am saying is I don't care for PFT. I wasn't implying they made the WHOLE story up. I was just saying that they seem to put their own spin on stories. No offense BW.

[QUOTE=TrustinGibbs]the great Joe Gibbs doesn't even believe he's bigger than the Skin's and he's in the HOF.[/QUOTE]

That's an excellent point. I mean look what he did by giving up play calling duties to Al Saunders. He took a step back and did what was best for the team, putting his ego aside (ahem. are you listening Matty?).

I'm not saying LA thought he was bigger than the team but I mean he made it about himself way too much last year. And it seems like he's doing the same now in NY.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Slightly off topic. I noticed another former Redskin is on the Giants roster-QB Rob Johnson. I'm surprised Arrington didn't talk about we let him go too.

My fiance said she wasn't going to give up the giants, she says she will always be a fan. I guess I can sorta live with that, at least she isn't a COWBOYS fan. I don't think the relationship would of lasted if that was the case.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

There's no way Coughlin is going to stand for Arrington blabbing to the media all season. Should be interesting to see how he deals with him, and interesting to see if Arrington can keep his trap shut without pouting. I'd put the over/under at week 6 before this becomes an issue.

Probably because of the suckiness.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Isn't Rob Johnson a former everyteam NFL QB.(he 's played for every team)

I'm married to a loyal cowpokes fan! On top of that, she really knows football.
Had to be on my best behavior this past december when we were at fedex field whippin up on em. To make matters worse, we got the tickets as a wedding present from one of her friends & it was the first cowboys game she'd been to.

[quote=Giantone]So why did Griffen leave the Giants ?[/quote]

Also we picked up Chad Morton who has done well in NY,he's backing up Tiki this year.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Chad Morton's done well?

I think CHAD would be the only person who thinks that. Mr. "Every Time I Return The Ball I Get Up Like a Giant Douche and start dancing around"

are you joking? 3 probowls is hardly over rated. There are a ton of 1st rounder busts. What about Courtney Brown, you saying this guy is not a bust. He was the #1 that year.

I agree. His game-ending forced fumble against Kurt Warner and interception return for a TD versus the Panthers offer protection against the first round bust disease. There are more plays but these two stick out right now on a Monday morning.

I swear if I wasn't sick I'd be laughing right now. What about Big Brandon Jacobs ? No love for him ? Chad Morton,......HONESTLY

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

My Dad almost broke Chad's leg a few years ago at a Thanksgiving turkey give-away at FedEx. My padre had to stake frozen turkeys behind tiny Chad so he could hand them to people (who probably had no idea who he was in the first place), but the old man was putting them too close and Chad tripped over them. If my dad hadn't caught the wee man he would have fallen and probably broken his jaw.
After my dad caught him and stood him back up Chad danced around like a goober for a few minutes.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

We should really stop talking badly about Chad Morton, lest we want to upset CRT3

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Was it CRT3 who sweated Chad?

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Who cares, they are all with other teams and I'm only concerned with our current players in training camp and how they are performing.

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

Btw--More Lavar on "not being mad." Yeah, right. Whatever...

Breaking News out of New York - Chad and his semi-man-perm is now linked to Lance Bass.

(on a weird side note, as soon as I typed in the words 'breaking news' the radio station I'm listening to did the emergency broadcast network test thing)

Re: Arrington happy to put Redskins in past
 

i love LA,but he is a big mouth whining crybaby!if he had put all the effort he has put into bashing the redskins and the past and present player/staffs,he's
have easily been league mvp last year.all he had to do was let the coaches coach him,and follow their lead.his world sized ego would'nt let him do that,so good riddance to him!
