Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career

[Redskins8588]

Any updates yet?

This isn't the first time he's been "misquoted." Perhaps he should learn to think before he speaks.

[BigSKINBauer]

Well i guess it was exclusive. -he was standing by his car with the door open- ummmm was it an interview, meh 2 questions

- "i want to be a redskin, whether i am wanted or not I don't know. I'm unsure about it-Just like i said in the article- I'm unsure about it(saying this shruggy his sholders and talking fast.)

- "but i want to be here and another thing i made very clear is I feel very strongly about my fans I-i kno-kn I SEEN they feel strongly bout me. That, that is what i talked about.
-" this isn't me trying to be a pre madonna or anything like that you know i I have handled this situation- WHAT EVER MY Situation has been during the whole season with dignity and respect"
-------------------------------------
that is the enitire thing word for word. We never heard the questions

I dont know if he was misquoted or if these are old comments but it does not seem like Lavar is happy here. From what I can gather and after hearing him tonight on CBS news, it seems as if he definitely said something this week, and that is enough for me to say that he probably has to go. Sure, the media could have exaggerated his comments and made them look worse than they really were, but for Lavar to even bring up any issues he has with the organization dealing with him personally and not the team cannot be condoned at a time like this. He's got to think about the team and realize that we are gearing up for possibly the biggest game in years and don't need any sort of distraction.

We were the number three defense in the league without him last year and I know we will be just fine if he isnt a Redskin anymore. As for the present, stop stirring up conflict and go out and play. Otherwise, he can sit on the bench.

He didn't say anything about being misquoted. He just said i want to be here, I love the fans here, they love me... I am unwanted:cheeky-sm

You have to look at his demeanor while giving the interview. If he really did not say anything like what was reported, he would have denounced the whole issue completely, which he didn't do.

well when he said
"I'm unsure about it-Just like i said in the article- I'm unsure about it" i think he clarified that he did say that in the article. It was just cbs saying arrrrgggg how do we get these people to watch this show arrrrgggg. Ok heres an idea after we tell them that wearing socks is dangerous enough to make you sterile we can tell them that lavar is denying everything, yah that will keep them watching.

by the way i hear every channel had this interview and they all chopped it up the way they wanted. Lavar on someother channel said that the writer put his own spin on it

So far what i know is

-- lavar thinks he might be gone next year due to cap situations- well that is a given most of us think the same thing

-- Lavar still loves the fans

-- Lavar wants to play here next year more than anywhere else

-- Lavar feels unwanted. Might be true but a couple weeks ago he said that he should have handled things differently.

--The timing is horrible. I guess we will disagree, i think the defense will be distracted. I have pictures from the chargers game in which i took a picture of the players entering and i didn't notice while i was taking the pictures that lavar was standing in the middle and everyone that ran by him on his left and on this right slapped his hand. He waited till the end. He is still a leader on this team and him being upset takes away focus from this game. Thinking this is his last professional game is a distraction to those on defense. Gibbs says its a distraction so its a distraction

--Lavar is still my boy

Well the media is trying to make more of this i just saw lavar on tv saying it was alot of his own opinions... and he i worried about philly now..... but bauer i wont fight with you i have been very entertained by your posts on the eagles board ... you have my respect...... and i am clouded alot by the fact that Lavar maybe my all time favorite football player....

yeah, its all fine we all have our opinions.

Now after further thinking

I just don't think lavar did anything wrong. He is saying he might not be here next year. The thing is everyone from the guys at ESPN to your average joe has thought this. I think it is impossible due to the cap hit we will take. According to http://redskins.scout.com/3/2006_Salary_Cap.html the skins hit from my man lavar is about 500,000 more than if we kept him. No way will we pay to take him away. Our very own CrazyCunuck does a great job and his cap also shows a difference in about 700,000.

Now if the writer of the times is right that means we save 6.5 million by cutting him and if that is true lavar should be scared of because he WILL be gone. BUt if everyone else is right lavar in my opinion will be lighting people up for years to come as a redskin.

I am not mad at lavar but it does seem that there is something wrong with big boy dan. Everyone leaves on such bad terms. Smoot and pierce shouldn't be upset but like lavar said it happened to davis, coles and bailey. All fan favorites, all taken down by dan. Lavar didn't have to bad talk the organization this week but the thing is if he did this 5weeks ago i would call him crazy or 4 weeks ago or 3 or 2 or last week or next week. If he wants to get this off his chest this was the best week to do it but the quote that hurt me was.

"Causing a fumble to win a game or getting an interception to change a season, that's not the extent of my life," he says. "It never has been. I always see myself as a person first. Maybe coaches get upset that I don't take myself or this game too seriously and they do. Maybe they get upset because I see it as a game and nothing more than a game."

Lavar was Lavar because he fought hard and if he is saying that he doesn't take the game as seriously as the coaches do then i feel like i was wrong about him. I think this is not what he meant but he did say it.

I love Lavar, but I love the Redskins more. I still think he can come back and be a great player for us and just wish we do not have to keep going through this ordeal. I agree that the damn media is really doing a number on us all and making us think one thing when the truth maybe the exact opposite. I'm just ticked that all of this is coming a few days before our last (and most important) regular season game. Let's just forget about all this and take things as they come. If we have him, great. If not, its no question that he would be missed but what can you do?

I don't think it is Lavar vs. The redskins
It might be lavar vs. Snyder but not the redskins.


I love the skins more too but sinse he isn't against them I am still on Lavar's side.

Lavar is just worried thats all. he is worried that he won't be with his favorite fans and his favorite team. He feels he will be gone

I didn't quite mean that Lavar was going against the redskins. What I meant was that if him being here hurt the team, then I would rather not have him around.
