I mentioned this in another thread but I think it is relevant here. I heard lavar on the John Thompson show right after the Seattle loss, and he said that we were building something special here, and that he hoped he could be a part of it. He said that he would be willing to take a paycut to stay here. That's why all his comments are so disingenuous. Should have gotten out 2 years ago? He was on radio begging to stay a few weeks before they cut him! What a jerk! For someone with an ego his size, it is tough to come terms with the fact that he failed as a Skin. No one had a grudge against him, he just didnt make the team better, that's why he didnt play. There wasnt an anti-Lavar conspiracy. Its not a feckless organization. He failed to make us better, end of story.

I went to Penn State and always had affection for him, but looking back I can see that I defended him way past the point it was appropriate for me to do so. So to everyone on this board whom I argued with the last two years about whether Lavar should be playing or not, let me say that I am sorry, and I was completely wrong.
