LaVar to the Bengals- Maybe

[hooskins]

Come on guys the LaVar issue is over give 56fanatic a break. It is basically everyone at thewarpath vs him. I really don't want to get into this again, but we all know LaVar was a great player and guy, shit didn't work out, thats all fanatic is trying to say. I just think its wack some people were questioning his loyality to the skins...

That's not all he's trying to say, and that's not all he's said. You should know who you're defending before doing so.

Other than a few grammer and spelling errors, his posts have been fine. WTH are you talking about?

I just posted a link to every post he's made. Go read up on what happened before you got here.

First off pain, I was here for quite a while before I registered.

Second, I have followed his posts. I haven't seen any posts where he has expressed any feelings or frustrations regarding LA that are unique or merit you bringing the smack. Lots of people are most highly pissed off that the management showed him the disrespect they did and didn't do more to make this thing work.

Thanks for coming to my defense. Not a lot of people do that. Its amazing how I can say things about how I feel about this whole situation, my opinions, and I get labled as a LaVar lover and Redskin hater. Some people just want everyone to agree with them, and if you dont your wrong. I have come to terms with that out here. Just pisses me off from time to time, especially when my loyalty to the skins is questioned. Hey, I wish he could have stayed, but financially we couldn't do it, and I believe personality issues were also the reason, no matter who was as fault they just couldn't survive together. It happens. I hope he does well with the next team, just not against us.

I can't stand this argument, it just makes no sense to me. Do more to make it work? Um, we went to the playoffs with him playing one of the smallest roles on the team in his entire career last year. We needed his cap room more than we needed him, and that's the bottom line. It's not about trying hard to make things work. It's about giving the team the best chance to win.

By no means do I think Ramsey ever got the opportunity Brunell got. But you know what, them's the breaks. We went 10-6 under Brunell and the rest is history.

I don't care what's fair for the individual players, that's not a TEAM mentality.

My arguement isn't a football one. It is a business and fan relations one (fan relations is an area where I am extremely down on Skins management).

They sold us this player super hard. Millions of loyal Skins fans drank the #56 Kool Aid. Then they decided to go totally Brokeback Mountain on him, and in turn, us the fans.

The problem isn't that Mommy and Daddy split up, the problem is that it was a really nasty break up with lots of screaming and yelling and everything else short of being featured on an episode of COPS. Now we're all afraid they don't love us any more.

Players move on. We'll get over it. It is just unfortunate that it had to go down this way -- because of things that happened on both sides. It simply didn't need to happen like this.
