I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

Man.. I shouldn't talk about L. Arrington since he's gone. But man.. I miss him on the field. He was a Beast! You guys have to admit he was one helluva linebacker for us when he was healthy.

Do you think there is a chance he will play football again?

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

man, your bringing up a sore subject around here. as far as him playing again, his knee is shot. and he is done

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I miss having the guy around but hes not better than any of our linebackers now. Like Dmek said, he's done.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

He was a true Redskin. You still see 56 jerseys on tv at the games.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I miss his personality, I don't miss him being out of position more often than not.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

This is just my opinion...with regard to Lavar Arrington's relationship with the team, I think there is more than enough excrement in that sandwich for everyone...the front office, Lavar, the coaches, and the Postons...what a waste of time and talent...

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I honestly don't really miss his personality. With LaVar, everything is about LaVar. I was kind of tired of hearing him talk about how great he was and talking a lot of smack that he didn't always back up.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

Definitely something to that SGG. He pissed me off by refusing the contract for jerseys every player agrees to (he wanted a bigger cut) and how he was one of the few players not in a game I used to play.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

Annyong haseyo to you in Seoul.

I miss Lavar too, but I certainly see the Danny's side of it, even if the front office has badly damaged some player relationsips in the past.

It's really a shame that Lavar had the injuries that he's had the past 2 years. I bet if he could get healthy both sides would bury the hatchet & it would be possible for him to come back here & maybe make the roster as a backup. It just doesn't sound like his knees are ready for football again.

and how he regrets it now or at least that's the vibe I felt from his eulogy last week. Then again, if he was still playing, who knows. Oh, and he still has the playbook.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I thought he played very self concerned for self not the team and did not learn the defense

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I guess most of you liked Warrick Holdman (who replaced lavar) better. I like Rocky McIntosh better myself, but lets be honest. He's not yet on the level of a healthy Lavar. Back when he was making pro bowls that is.

You nailed it.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I actually had a chance to meet Lavar in person, in his home the year before he left. He was incredibly polite, accommodating, and very down to earth. He didn't come across as arrogant or stuck up, and took time and a personal interest in us.

He even went so far as to apologize to us for his manager's behavior (his manager had been a real douche to us earlier).

Not saying he might have been a complete "diva" in the locker room or on field or wherever, all I can speak to is the limited interaction I had with him.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

[quote=skinsfan69;391037]Lavar = high maintenence male diva.[/quote]

I agree. I dont even like watching him on the Comcast post game shows.

I met him in person once at the Annapolis Mall. He was a jerk when I asked for his autograph.

But he still hasn't read it.

I sort of miss him, but that's what happens in sports. Players come and go and we have to move on.

EDIT - damn, I didn't realize how old this thread was. Why is it still here?

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I dont like watching him on Comcast either. The first time he came on the show he wore some ridiculous old school suit and acted like a idot. Ever other legit person on the show (not including Chic Hernandez) looked annoyed with him. He's gotten better but still isnt cut out for media.

I miss the guy too, andwould love to see him back in B&G

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

The 'replies' & 'views' totals for this thread say it all!

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I don't live in the Maryland/Nova/DC area anymore, but I've heard that he's anti Redskins in the Comcast show. Is that true?

you cant really tell it takes him 5 minutes to say one sentance!! he does not belong on that show thats for sure....

he may come off as a little bitter sometimes too

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

he is dead to me.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

actually after watching him at the sean taylor press conference he seemed more human than arrogant.he did play good ball here.

Lavar nothing!!!!!! You know who I miss? Ken Harvey!!!!! Yeah Ken Harvey. That guy was everywhere!!!!!!! Forget Lavar, his knee is shot, he is toast. Ken Harvey isn't going to come back either, but as the President of the Skin Alumni Assoc, he never really left. Don't get me wrong Lavar rocked, but like the guys said his knee is toast and so is his career. Might as well talk about Sam Huff as well. Great bunch of guys, but they are either retired or about to retire. WE just need to maybe draft one more LB and hope Rocky is OK in '09. Blades is doing a good job. He is not Ken Harvey or Lavar, but he might be a good one still. Rocky is going to be very good if he can come back healthy.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

speaking of rocky... i'm still miffed we didn't sit on our pick that year and draft richard marshall (CB). he's been a beast in carolina :/. The least we could have done is trade up high enough for d ryans (texans lb). oh well.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

Fuck MR. Nickles. He should have learned the playbook.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

since this is a lavar thread, i feel obligated to chime in. To no ones surprise I do miss the guy. he was the face of our frachise for the better part of 6 years. I dont think he lived up to his hype coming out of college, but when healthy he could make a ton of plays for us. He was one of the most gifted linebackers coming out of college since LT, hinse the reason everyone put the #56 on his back before inking any contract. As far as him playing again, I dont know. I dont think he would be an everydown guy, maybe a situational rusher. if he gets back to being healthy who knows. Guys have comeback to have productive careers when having injuries like he did. I would certainly welcome him back.

I agree he does not belong on that show. He is very unprofessional and not very articulate.

That's a little extreme, no?

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I miss GL. Unfortunately he transformed into BL.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

I miss Sean Taylor, and thats about the only Skin I miss right now. Never really minded LaVar, his speech at Seans funeral I really liked, was cool the time I met him, but it is what it is. Dont love or hate the guy.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

It would be pretty cool to see LaVar back in a Redskins' uniform, but from everything I've heard, he's done. He's still in the area supporting the Skins, especially with his new restaurant. I still have my Arrington jerseys. He may have been over-hyped at times, but he played pretty well.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

Well, I loved him too, but I won't be able to think of him without recalling the interview he did on the John Thompson show in 2005 after the Redskins beat the Seahawks to go 3 - 0, in which he spent virtually the whole time complaining about the coaching staff. If you're the self-appointed Mr. Redskin and the team is in first place at 3 - 0, complaining about the team says a lot more about you than it does the people you're complaining about.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

[quote=Skins fan 44;391023]He was a true Redskin. You still see 56 jerseys on tv at the games.[/quote]

That's just because they sold so many, since we didn't have as many stars on the team then. :)

You still see a lot of Ramsey jerseys too.

Good point BringBack. I love LeVar, and I tend to forget that he did a bit too much complaining at times; it's always easy to glorify the past. I remember that time before the fiirst Skins/Giant game in 2006 when Antonio Piece walked past Levar in the Giant locker full of reporters room and said "Don't say it Levar!" Pierce always bothered me with his anti-Redskins statements, and that moment showed that the two of them were standing together publicly in their criticism of the Redskins, particularly of the coaching staff.

Re: I must confess.. I still miss Lavar.
 

The thing I cannot forgive Arrington for was the post game interview he gave while with the Giants in which the following exchange took place:

Q: "Who is the worst coach you ever played for?"
A: "Joe Gibbs"

It was said in all seriousness and without a moments hesitation. If he has retracted that statement, then I am willing to move on. Otherwise, Arrington is pretty much dead to me.
