WPost Email: Jansen, Arrington Watch Helplessly

[sportscurmudgeon]

Pardon me if I don't get all choked up here.

Let's see if I understand this correctly:

LaVar Arrington was standing on the sidelines with the losing team in a football game and realized that the guys across the field - on the winning side - were a lot happier than he and his teammates were. This is a novel insight on his part?


Memo to LaVar: You've been on enough losing sidelines now to realize that is the way it goes in football. The best cure for that is to win games instead of losing them.


He says this is one of the toughest things he has had to deal with in his life. Wow. I hope he never loses a parent or a spouse or a child in a car accident or to some awful disease. THAT is tough to take; losing a football game and seeing the victors smiling and laughing is a piece of cake.
