We are eventually going to come to this problem with all the big names we have on our team. Portis, will have the same problems in the next couple of years. Springs signed a big deal for a guy 30 years old. Was spings worth a 10 million signing bonus? Is any of these guys "worth" all the money they get paid. What I am saying is, once in a blue moon does a guy with the athletic ability, the on the field and off the field persona of a LaVar Arrington come along. He loves the fans and basically was going to let the 6.5 million dispute go away, but the Players union wouldn't let it. He said last year if Dan Snyder and the Redskins ever decide to let him go or say they wanted to trade him he would retire. He does not want to wear another uniform, he want to be a redskins for LIFE. In todays world of sports, that is a very refreshing statement and one that sticks with me when i hear these guys demaning trades, demanding contract extensions, release me all this crap. LaVar is "THE MAN!!!"

LaVar is the man!! And can I say, that I'm starting to believe that it is total bullshit when athletes say that I'm this or that for life. Bull....they are only "Redskins or anything else for life", based on the most current contract that they have.
You can only say someone is a Redskin for life if they start and finish as a Redskin. Look at the 80's rosters, those guys are Skins for life. Joe Gibbs is a Redskin for life!!! Unlike his NFC counterpart Bill Parcells - who himself is a contract and media whore!!
