Arrington Interview

:banghead:

I'm a Christian man and I can't have three sixes in my contract.

Come on, jesus. This is absolutly crazy.

The bad news is something we've known all along: the Redskins as a business under Dan Snyder are snakes in the grass.

The good news is this: Arrington loves the Redskins as a football team, loves the fans and loves Washington, D.C. He's looking forward to playing for this coaching staff, and the controversy caused by the contract gaffe will not affect his relationship with them.

Yes, it sucks that the Redskins can't maintain a forthright and honorable approach when dealing with one of their most loyal and devoted players. But at least Arrington is maintaining a balanced and circumspect view of the whole thing. He is able to seperate the business side of the Redskins from the football side of the Redskins.

I'm a little puzzled by the rationale of the whole "devil's contract" assertion, but it does sound like something about the deal wasn't kosher. Let's hope the Redskins make this right, and change their way of doing business before it destroys their relationship and credibility with their current and prospective players.

I'd at least like to see both sides of this story brought into the full light of day, but I have little confidence that will ever happen.

Is he serious?? I don't even know what to make of this article, and this whole situation.

My question is this, why would the Skins give him a $6.5M bonus that would have brought his cap number to a totally unmanageable figure??

The whole thing makes no sense from LA's perspective.

yeah, i mean w/the SECOND bonus of $6.5 million, which is the one being disputed, his cap hit in 2 or 3 years would be $18 million or something like that so thats a bit hard to believe the skins would agree to a number like that just because it would have equaled 666. they probably just would have changed the original roster bonus and added another $100,000 or so and that would have done the job but nowhere near $6.5 million just to make sure the contract wasn't 66.6. wouldn't that make more sense if this was really the problem with the contract?

I'm convinced that LaVar is just a little off.

If LVarr admits his mistake, why is there an arbitration hearing? He made a mistake. His agent made a mistake. The Redskins should win this, not LVarr!

plus, did I really see him speaking in the 3rd person in this interview?

I never saw LaVar as a zealous Christain or insane before.

I'm speechless.
