Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career

by the way i hear every channel had this interview and they all chopped it up the way they wanted. Lavar on someother channel said that the writer put his own spin on it

So far what i know is

-- lavar thinks he might be gone next year due to cap situations- well that is a given most of us think the same thing

-- Lavar still loves the fans

-- Lavar wants to play here next year more than anywhere else

-- Lavar feels unwanted. Might be true but a couple weeks ago he said that he should have handled things differently.

--The timing is horrible. I guess we will disagree, i think the defense will be distracted. I have pictures from the chargers game in which i took a picture of the players entering and i didn't notice while i was taking the pictures that lavar was standing in the middle and everyone that ran by him on his left and on this right slapped his hand. He waited till the end. He is still a leader on this team and him being upset takes away focus from this game. Thinking this is his last professional game is a distraction to those on defense. Gibbs says its a distraction so its a distraction

--Lavar is still my boy

yeah, its all fine we all have our opinions.

Now after further thinking

I just don't think lavar did anything wrong. He is saying he might not be here next year. The thing is everyone from the guys at ESPN to your average joe has thought this. I think it is impossible due to the cap hit we will take. According to http://redskins.scout.com/3/2006_Salary_Cap.html the skins hit from my man lavar is about 500,000 more than if we kept him. No way will we pay to take him away. Our very own CrazyCunuck does a great job and his cap also shows a difference in about 700,000.

Now if the writer of the times is right that means we save 6.5 million by cutting him and if that is true lavar should be scared of because he WILL be gone. BUt if everyone else is right lavar in my opinion will be lighting people up for years to come as a redskin.

I am not mad at lavar but it does seem that there is something wrong with big boy dan. Everyone leaves on such bad terms. Smoot and pierce shouldn't be upset but like lavar said it happened to davis, coles and bailey. All fan favorites, all taken down by dan. Lavar didn't have to bad talk the organization this week but the thing is if he did this 5weeks ago i would call him crazy or 4 weeks ago or 3 or 2 or last week or next week. If he wants to get this off his chest this was the best week to do it but the quote that hurt me was.

"Causing a fumble to win a game or getting an interception to change a season, that's not the extent of my life," he says. "It never has been. I always see myself as a person first. Maybe coaches get upset that I don't take myself or this game too seriously and they do. Maybe they get upset because I see it as a game and nothing more than a game."

Lavar was Lavar because he fought hard and if he is saying that he doesn't take the game as seriously as the coaches do then i feel like i was wrong about him. I think this is not what he meant but he did say it.
