Re: Arrington vs. Taylor: Who's the bigger "problem"?
What off the field problems??
C'mon now, I know he was found innocent, but he was still in the papers for getting arrested for driving drunk. If Arrington supposedly does the team wrong by speaking out, getting arrested isn't exactly something that should be dismissed, even if he was later found innocent.
He was also in the papers all last summer, skipping the rookie symposium, switching agents like people change underwear, and now skipping the voluntary workouts to hang with his "U" buddies.
I just think people are really quick to let Taylor off the hook, and instead crucify Arrington for what I consider to be not as serious issues.
Comparing Taylor and Arrington's methods of dealing with the media doesn't hold much water with me. Taylor is a very reserved guy with the media, Arrington on the other hand doesn't hold back. They have two entirely different personalities in that respect. Taylor is "bitching" about his contract by not showing up to workouts and by not returning calls to Gibbs. Arrington instead airs his laundry in public. Neither way is excusable.
I really wouldn't say Taylor is a superior athlete compared to LaVar. They're both physical freaks.
