The game is FINALLY over?

I don’t know how many times I dare post “it’s done”. It’s been nothing but trouble for me since day one. But… I can only go with what I hear. So as I usually do, here are the RUMORS.
Not one, not two, not three… Seven sources left me a message for when I woke up this morning. All saying the same exact thing. This time they’re sure.. This time it’s real. They swear up and down that this time it’s accurate.
There was word yesterday
Lavar Arrington had announced he’s made up his mind and that the public would hear more in 24 hours. Now there is a strong indication that, that was as true as could be.
For those still hoping that Arrington will be a Giant, you may in fact get your wish.
I have every reason to believe (again - silly me) that Arrington will finally become a New York Giant. Today? Tomorrow? I don’t know. I don’t dare put a time table on the situation again. If the ESPN News report (which a reader on G101 said he heard) is accurate, it could mean Arrington is a Giant today.
I’ve got to admit, if this is all true I am a bit disappointed. At first I wanted LA as much as the next guy. But as I began taking a look at the draft and going over the potential linebackers, I really liked the idea of drafting one more. Not to say Arrington isn’t a talent, because he certainly is, I would have just preferred a rookie the Giants could mold.
If nothing else, at least this saga should finally die.
Update:
I spoke to Jason LaCanfora of the Washington Post via e-mail today. (Who was kind enough to respond to me while on vacation.)
As he has said previously, the Giants were never out of the picture. He stated that if the Arrington camp was to drop the price, there was no doubt in his mind Arrington would sign with the Giants. His guess is that, that is exactly how this will (or is) going down.
