Well I got some interesting news recently. I was attending my family reunion last weekend and talking Redskins with one of my distant realtives. He is employed by Washington based radio station WTOP. He was telling me that some of the sports guys around the station were talking about the real reason LaVar wasn't playing. If you think back to the offseason the was a big dispute between LaVar and Dan Snyder over like 8 million that LaVar was supposedly owed. This dispute went to arbritation and LaVar ended up being awarded the money. Well suppoedly Dan Snyder was not to pleased with this decision and told Joe Gibbs that he had to bench LaVar for a few weeks. This story seems to fit and would make sense if Snyder was really pissed about the decision. Also the source which this comes from is a reliable one in WTOP. This is one scenario that may never be proven since Snyder would do his best to cover this up. I think this is an interesting topic to discuss so.....Discuss.

I deem this the Retarded Post of the Week. The RPW is awarded in this case for several reasons.
Reason 1: Umm this discussion has been had...and had....and had.....and had again. It is now downrght ridculous to even bring it up at this point since he is playing and we are in the playoff hunt with a big game coming.
Reason 2: The logic behind the theory is idiotic. Why would they sit a guy they were paying a lot? To get nothing out of him? Sounds like a briilliant plan to me!
Reason 3: This is the capper. It was widely reported that the dispute was settled amicably between Lavar and the Skins. On top of that Lavar admitted weeks later that he had overreacted in the situation which would lead you to believe that he thinks the reason he was sitting had nothing to do with money. I don't think he'd have admitted overreacting if he wasn't playing based on the issue you raised.
