And then Lavar gripes that Snyder "isn't a man" because he doesn't give LA whatever he wants. Sounds to me like LA is the one who needs to act more like a man. Face up to your error, eat some humble pie, and maybe the most generous organization in the league will try to work with you. Going to an arbitrator and then whining in public about Snyder, Manhood, and the Devil is ridiculous.
And if your agent, who's job it is to make sure your contract is in order, let this happen, he isn't doing his job. Standing by an incompetent is not loyalty, it's stupidity. 
OK, I'm done. |
All excellent points, Sleepy. I also agree with the points others have made about the absurdity of the whole thing. The more I think about it, the more it looks like Arrington and Poston screwed the pooch on this one. For one, what the hell was Arrington doing signing the finalized contract without his agent's supervision or consultation? That's just stupidity on Arrington's part, and unprofessionalism on Poston's part. These guys knew they were working with a tight deadline, and didn't take the proper precautions to ensure that the contract they were signing was the deal they agreed to (or
thought they agreed to) in principle.
