I can only hope that Lavar was wise with the money he made and is financially prepared for life after football. Frankly, with his personality, I think he could transition well to broadcasting with a little practice.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

I admire that sacrifice you made to ensure you'd be there for your child. I'd definitely call that being a good dad.

As for Lavar, I do hope he gets better, which it sounds like he will. He's lucky, he can still be around to be a good father to his young'ns. Hopefully he thinks twice about heading out on the motorbike in the future, for their sake.
