Don't know why y'all are hating on Lavar. One: I don't think he was in the owner's box. Two: Jansen isn't down on the field: does that mean he's not a team guy? Three: here's what Lavar did after the game on Monday:

Surprise Phone Call

Linebacker LaVar Arrington, who is expected to miss at least one more game after undergoing minor knee surgery last week, called into a postgame radio talk show early yesterday morning after the Redskins' loss to Dallas to implore fans not to get too down on the team.

Arrington, who is still on crutches, phoned in around 2:15 a.m. on his way home from the game, which he watched from a suite at FedEx Field. "I'm a fan," Arrington said. "I was heckling Dallas fans and everything."

After listening to a few callers question the team's dedication, Arrington called in to praise the effort of his teammates and asked the fans not to panic about the club's 1-2 start.

In his 10 minutes on the air, Arrington attributed Washington's inconsistency to growing pains as the players continue to adjust to a new coaching staff. "The guys kept fighting," Arrington said. "This is a special team. I know we're 1-2, but this is a special group of guys."

Arrington met with James Andrews, who performed the surgery on his right knee, Monday night and said he is feeling much better. Arrington is aiming to return for the Oct. 10 game against Baltimore. He expects to be off crutches in a few days. :thumb:
