"It's crazy and unfair that something I had very little to do with derailed my relationship with management," Arrington says. "You see they're not marketing you anymore. You see people interacting with other people the way they used to interact with you. I watched how things were with Stephen Davis. I watched how things were with Champ [Bailey]. I saw the same things happening to me.


Seriously what the **** is wrong with this organizaton- the only thing is this news is not surprising nor upseting me.

[Fan4Life]

Im just afraid Greg Williams will be next. Not because of the org. but a head coaching job.

[Hog1]

THAT is one of the problems with Lavar Arrington-what a soap opera!

[Fan4Life]

I hate to see him go but I have also watched him miss a boat load of tackles. Those one arm attempts just dont cut it. Hes never in on crucial 3rd downs anyway so If Williams sticks around he'll find a replacement. Hell he already did the first half of the year.

i love lavar but how can he say he had little to do with the derailed relationship?he and his agent signed the contract in good faith and then to drag the whole organization thru this process was really a slap in the face.this is really a life lesson,READ BEFORE YOU SIGN

Lavar brought this attitude on himself. The injury not withstanding.







"We Want Philly" smilie needed here!

[BigSKINBauer]

he was just on the John Thompson show and i didn't hear that either but from what i heard about it he was talking about how he and marcus were gonna kill QBs NEXT YEAR after he gets better in the offseason

[BigSKINBauer]

**** LAVAR IF HE SAID THIS THIS WEEK BECAUSE THIS IS THE SHIT THAT CAN DISTRACT US OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS

**** THE WRITER IF HE HAD THIS INTERVIEW WEEKS AGO AND IS NOW BEING A BITCH

This is not the time for either of them to say shit like this. we are gonna make the playoffs for the first time in 6 years and now instead of the playoffs its all gonna be about lavar this, lavar that.

[12thMan]

I don't know how much of this is truly LaVar's sentiments, and how much of it is editing and journalism. I mean no doubt, this guy is hurt over all of this whether it's his fault or not.

We'll see how all this plays out. If the Redskins can get deep into the playoffs, everything may change. You never know.

One thing is for sure, winning can cure a lot of hurt.

Its an old interview it really is. My friend broke from discussion to tell me how good of an atmosphere it was on the John thompson show and in the Post TODAY

"I just think that everybody believes now," linebacker LaVar Arrington said. "And when you get a situation where everybody believes in the same thing, and you get the momentum going in one direction, I've said it all along: We've got a special group of guys. This is a special mix we have, and to not take advantage of that is a crime. And I think guys really focused in that we were letting the season slip away."

Arrington Is Confident About Where Team Ranks



By Howard Bryant
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 28, 2005; E04


For an indication of how far the Washington Redskins have come, at least in attitude, consider the words of linebacker LaVar Arrington, who believes the team has earned the right to start thinking big.

Arrington makes a case for the Redskins in a fairly wide-open NFC race, pointing out that they've beaten the conference's top two seeds, Seattle and Chicago, at FedEx Field.

"When you think about all the other things we've had to endure through and accomplish, you realize this is a special group," he said. "It is a group that believes in itself, believes in the mission."

The Redskins beat Chicago, 9-7, in the season opener and Seattle, 20-17 in overtime, on Oct. 2 to start the season 3-0. Seattle has since won 11 straight games, while the Bears have the NFL's best defense. The two are 20-2 in the NFC this season, with the only losses being to the Redskins.

"You're talking about one of the best teams, maybe the best team playing right now in Seattle, and we played very well against them," he said. "You're talking about the Chicago Bears, who are arguably challenging them for that role, and we played pretty well against them. I don't even think we were playing our best football then. I wasn't even on the field then. And I think it'd be even more different if we were. That being said, we've got guys in fairly good health, which we haven't had in past years."

Baby on the Way

While Arrington is excited about the chance to play in the postseason for the first time, he could have a scheduling conflict because his wife is due to give birth to their daughter, Marlee, on Jan. 15. That is the second Sunday of the playoffs and Arrington said doctors may opt to induce labor. The baby's name is the product of compromise, Arrington said. He's a big fan of Bob Marley, the late singer, and his wife's middle name is Lee.

o i mean that is another article and it seems as if Lavar is happy in it. I didn't mean that it was an actual old article. I should clarify the interview is old and the writer just wrote the article at the worst time to do it. Lavar just seems to happy on the radio and in every other media outlet to say crap like this

I was wondering, because I clicked on it earlier this morning and it was the article about Lavar. I didn't realize you changed it.

He is a great player and yes it's a slap in the face what the Organization does to its star players but it also has something to do with how bad the Org has mannege the cap and how much Dead money it has each year they have to cut and sign new players to stay under the cap.

Also I don't know when the Interview was but it felt like Ricky Williams was being interviewed, it tells that he doesn't has a lot of passion and I don't want that in my team even thought he is a great player like Ricky.

Heck Ricky is only playing because he's broke I don't think a lot of teams are going to call on the door if he continues with that speach

but it also sounded to me like a guy who likes where he lives who doesn't want to start in another place and thats why he's making all this talks.
