If anyone thinks this is about anything other than the 6.8 million Lavar claims Snyder ripped him off, they are kidding themselves! I remember reading the article last year when he made his claims and knew right then that things were never going to be the same with Lavar. The fact of the matter is that Lavar's agent handed him a contract and told him he went over it and it was everything that they had asked for, after signing Lavar realized the 6.8 million bonus wasn't included. If he has a problem with anyone it should be his agent!

Here's my take on the situation:
Lavar decides to have a minor knee scope, which could have waited, during the season just to spite Snyder. He had no intentions whatsoever of playing last year until he saw how well the Defense was playing without him and got worried. Now he is blowing up over a routine follow up surgery because nobody ran to hold his hand. He's just pissed that his grievance hearing was postponed. If 68 million is not enough to make you feel loved what the hell is it going to take? Another 6.8 mil is what!

And if any teammate didn't hear about his surgery last year they must be living in a cave!

You are right about the Post putting a negative twist on everything, tho. They are mad that the Skins revoked 120 season ticket packages from them because the were scalping them. Now they have to buy their tickets like everybody else. Boo Hoo! So maybe I should give Lavar the benefit of the doubt, a person easily can be quoted to come off sounding anyway the writer wishes, but it sure sounds like that they didn't have to put much of a twist on those words.

If Lavar thinks that any self respecting Redskins fan is going to take his side over Coach Gibbs he needs to stop kidding himself. If this soap opera is going to become a distraction we need to shop him around. Recent surgery or no, someone will be willing to take him off our hands because he is such a monster player. I really wish we had resigned Antonio.
