I would take a team full of guys like Lavar (or Smoot, or Thrash for that matter) that would go out every week and play thier heart out and take it personally when they lose. These guys are playing the game they love, not just going to work. You can't coach the passion that these guys feel for the game.
I agree that Lavar may over-do it in the interviews and I'm sure he isn't always the perfect citizen. Still, I'm glad that he is passionate about the game. Also, it is important to remember that he is not on TV being interviewed about his personal thoughts and opinions outside of football. Maybe, just maybe, he understands they want his emotions concerning football when the football show interviews him (not tax advice or political views). Maybe he also has learned to keep his personal life as far away from these interviews as possible...
