Re: Lavar to the Giants?

The hating is due to the fact that Lavar made a commitment to his team, and he let them down. Imagine all the fans that bought his jerseys and his merchandise, think how they feel. Lavar had two options according to Gibbs and he had a choice to remain with the team he said he would remain with. But he didnt, he chose to leave. He should have taken the pay cut and played for what he was worth. So he could actually enjoy being in a super bowl during his NFL tenure. But since his departure i dont see him ever getting the chance. He is just another selfish me-type guy who really disappointed alot of his fans. He was supposed to be Mr. Redskin. He was supposed to be on our team throughout his career; "Redskins 4 Life", he said. He was supposed to be alot of things. He definately wasn't supposed to be Mr. Giant.

He probably wasn't supposed to get benched either...I'm not getting into another LaVar debate.

And I wasn't only referring to LaVar, I meant a lot of other players who leave Washington, too

Coaches dont bench players. Players bench themselves. We dont know and probably never will know the whole story of what happened during those games he was benched.

Re: Lavar to the Giants?

We all new that he was going to the Giants. I hope he has a good time, and I hope he and Antonio Pierce have a good time on the field together. Like I said before I met Lavar once and he was a cool dude, however, when they play the Skins,...F-Him. F' him, Pierce, Manning, Coughlin, Barber, Shockey, Strahan, and everyone else in the New York Giants organization ! I'm waiting for the This is why I left interview. The "This is what makes the Giants better" interview. All of them, and when he does it I will laugh, like I do when they all leave with the same shtick. If they leave then I will not cheer for them against my favorite team. Now when Lavar comes back, AND HE WILL, I'll welcome him back. For now,.. Lavar (The Player) is the enemy. Now some may cheer when he gets a tackle against the Skins, I wont. I'll cheer every time he misses an assignment, blows coverage, takes a bad angle, or bites all playactions and bootlegs.


I wish Lavar was still a Redskin, but he isn't. He's gonna be a Giant so, I can't wait for the first game against the Giants to see he and A.P. take that long sad walk out of The Big Jack.


With all that said,...... HAIL !!!! F'n HAIL !!!!!

Re: Lavar to the Giants?

in addition to him playing for a division rival, there's another reason we don't need him to play really well: we don't want it to appear that the benching was purely personal as then some players will take his side. of course some will no matter what & never consider his injury recovery & lack of discipline in the scheme.
aside from that, I loved Lavar, wish he was here

Re: Lavar to the Giants?

That really depends, some say its safer than grass while others say its not. And they have been tests done by both parties, and both prove their own point. Basically its not verified.

I read an article were they compaired the injuries from players that play on artifical v/s grass and they said that injuries were about the same on both. I think it was the NFL that did the reserch and they said that they could not draw any conclusions of which was safer. They did note that artificial caused more rug burn type injuries than grass.

Sorry fellas, I have no link or details on the contract. If anyone finds something related, please help me out and post it.

I'm trying to find a link to the LaVar signing with the Giants. Last report I saw was that talks were still at a standstill with LaVar and that the G-men were bringing in Chad Brown for discussions. Dosen't seem likely had they already signed LaVar would they still be looking for LB's.

Lavar knows that this is his last chance to get paid.
