Arrington happy to put Redskins in past

Let's keep in mind of course these guys are going to talk trash. It's a big division rivalry, they do what they have to do to get pumped up. I think LaVar is genuinely ticked, Pierce on the other hand talks trash for the sake of it. I don't get the feeling that he's got any bad feelings over the whole deal.

As for Chad Morton... who?

All LA needed to do to feel good about himself was read the posts on this site from 2 years ago by everyone that is now bashing him saying how he is the greatest LB ever.

C'mon now, things have definitely changed over the last 2 years.

He definitely hasn't endeared himself to a lot of fans with his complaining and lashing out against the team. He's certainly not an innocent victim. The fans didn't turn on him for no reason. And he still has his fair share of supporters to boot.

And in the end the majority of people are going to support the team over an individual player. That shouldn't be surprising.

I agree with what you said but I am just wondering how LA went from the greatest LB in the NFL to a loudmouth bum. Even last season when he went nuts in his first game back he was extolled by most on this site and Greg Williams was ripped for not using such a great player.

I guess people just got tired of his complaining, and the reality set in that this defense simply didn't need him and in fact is probably better off without him.

That's life in the NFL and sports in general. One day the hero, the next the goat.

Right on, i remember last year when he wasn't playing a reporter asked Gibbs if he had any conversations w/ LA about his lack of playing time. JG said that he had talked w/ LA more than he had talked w/ any other player throughout his coaching career. I think they were just tired of it.

I don't think its cause to boo him, though.
