Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward

[redskinjim]

lavar take a leap you sorry pathetic loser

[Skinz4life]

I think LA is just upset at how his career went and he's not one to except the responsibility. He was once a great talent who was never able to put it all together and when he looks back on his career he realizes what a huge disappointment he truly was and so instead of being a man and accepting responsibility he acts like a child and blames someone else.

Lavar Arrogant? Anything this guy has to say is not worth listening to. He is a legend in his own mind.

Look I think the majority of us believed that LA could perform better than Warrick Holdman, who was pretty much done as a player. I was one of them. For whatever reason that we'll probably never know, LA didn't get on the field much in his last season. When he did he had some good games. Was it the injury? Was it his attitude? Study habits? Who knows and quite honestly i don't care anymore.

LA probably believes in the conspiracy moon landing, the Cubans killed JFK, and whatever else. He's just out there. Why not just let it go? Let it go, LA. Maybe in a few years people will forget about your dumb quotes.

I want to like the guy, but damn.

They are always open, or should I say I have never been there too early.

Based on his appearances on Wash Post live and the Pregame show and his new sports bar business he is obviously looking to make a living off his status as a former Redskin. Yet he decides to trash the most beloved figure in Washington Sports history...nice job dumbarse...don't let the door hit you in arse on the way out!

Oh get off your self-righteous pedestal. Let's not all act like it's all LaVar. Everyone is culpable in what went down. Snyder, Gibbs, Williams, and Dale Lindsey could have done things better, and seeing how Lindsey was fired for poor job performance I don't think you lot should be jumping on LaVar's throat like vampires. Clearly LaVar is still bitter but you guys don't seem too far behind.

Actually, I find it a bit humorous. Back in '05 the LaVar Love was flowing, he could do no wrong and those foolish coaches just were on an ego trip. Perhaps, just perhaps, LaVar's attitude had something to do with the way he was treated. I thought he was an ass then and just enjoy the continual vindication he provides me.

Truthfully, we will never know who's to blame for what. The firing of Lindsay seems evidence of something, what I don't know. Certainly, Williams was a "my way or the highway" kind of coach. As for Gibbs, I have to admit I just don't get LaVar's vitriol. Is he angry that Gibbs didn't intervene on his behalf? Is mad that Gibbs basically cut off direct communication between Snyder and his favorites (if that happened)? I just don't get it. Is there any other Gibbs coached player that has been so outspokenly hateful to him? I can't think of anyone.

With that said - it speaks to how much the fans actually did love him that he continually gets this kind of reaction. For so long he was the face of the franchise. Maybe he just couldn't let go of that when the team was trying to turn the corner and reestablish a winning "team first" attitude.

I don't think anyone hear is saying the skins were right in everything they did in the Lavar debockle. The anger toward Lavar is for publicly calling Gibbs a coward. First it's so far from the truth and second Gibbs would never do that to anyone for any reason.

It's important to mention that when Arrington finally earned his way onto the field in the Grilliams' scheme, he was an absolute monster.

I'm kinda surprised he gave up football at such an early age. No doubt he had a flare for the boneheaded move, but if he had taken the 2007 off to heal from his motorcycle injury, someone would be employing him right now.

Why all the hating? That's so dumb don't you think... and it's really not important, the skins seem to be doing much better with out the both of them so why would any skins or fans give a ish about the whole comment that was supposed to be said??? WOW..

I dont think you can really claim the Skins would be much worse off at this point if Gibbs was still coach...our scoring is ranked low as it was last year plus we've had a healthy Oline for the most part.

Didn't we win like our last 5 out of 6 with Gibbs?

On the other hand...I don't think Lavar ever saw the post-season
