LaVar wasn't going to get it done here - there was too much baggage for him created by his erratic behavior. And he just couldn't submerge his interests into the team's interests in terms of playing within the scheme. This was always a problem with him.

I hope he gets it together in New York. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Why would Greg Williams have a plan for him? Wouldn't Saunders be the one planning? We will see what kind of impact he will have for the Gints, bad thing is, it will be twice a year.

"Poston said Green Bay, Jacksonville and Miami all were in the running for the 27-year-old Arrington. But in the end, he said, his client decided that he wanted to play against Washington twice a season"

That to me is enough to really really hope that he gets shut the hell down next season. What an arrogant move.

Why are a lot of people out here so bitter about LaVar signing with the skins. If you are under some sort of delusion of loyalty here, you need to wake up. This sport, any sport for that reason, is not about loyalty. Its about the cash, and the opportunity to win. This situation is no different. He may have turned down more money, but took the job with the better opportunity to win. Jacksonville, they are ok, but I think the Giants are in front of them in terms of winning, Green bay , Miami , come on they are a few years away. Plus, every one is Washington said he couldn't play, over rated so why not go some where that gives you the chance to prove all your doubters wrong. This just shows the guy has the drive to compete in an awesome division, and the competative spirit to want to stick up our rear ends twice a year. I think some of you are actually worried that he is going to be a game changer for the G-Men, especially against us. I am worried about playing him, He has that kind of capability. I would imagine Saunders has something in mind all ready. Stop bashing the guy for wanting to prove people wrong. Its people like you that said he was over rated, lost a step, better without him that he is trying to show he still has it. All the times some one told you that you couldn't do something, what did you do. Piss and moan, or go and prove them wrong? ME? I proved them wrong!!

You also have to think in non-football terms. I think a lot of it also has to do with the relative proximity of being near Washington, his hometown of the past six years and Pittsburgh, his childhood home. So it's a relatively small move. Plus, we all know LaVar loves a camera. You know he was thinking about what a great media opportunity it's going to be for him to play in the Big Apple.

Why is that an arrogant move. He picked the best team out of the ones that showed an interest in him. If it was me and a team let me go I would want ever oppertunity to prove to them they made a mistake and now he gets to do so twice a year.
