Precisely my point. If I lost a family member to cancer - as I have - I would NEVER say that anything related to a football game was "one of the toughest things" I ever had to deal with.

A former colleague of mine had his teenage son commit suicide in his home. THAT is tough to deal with. If LaVar has trouble dealing with a loss on a football field, I can only hope he never has something like that come into his life because it might render him catatonic.

I'm not faulting him for caring. I just don't want hear this kind of exaggerated siliness. Yes, the Redskins/Bengals football game is important to fans and team members and coaches. But this is not life and death; this is not war and peace.

And I don't see the need for Lavar to denigrate the guys on the other side of the field because they were "like smiling and laughing and all kinds of crap." That is precisely what LaVar and his teammates have done and will do when they are the winners in a football game. It's what the winning team does.
