if that ever happens then every thread on this board will be dedicated to how we should have kept him

I agree 100%. I kept suggesting the skins trade him a couple of years ago while they could have got something worthwhile in return and everybody on this site told me I was nuts, LA was a skin for life, on and on. Now its impossible to find anyone that will say anything good about him, its amazing what a change of clothes will do.

Those are the keys to all of it. The jersey he wears changes perspective. And time changes things - the redskins are not the same team, and he's not the same player.

I think the reason that Lavar has been brought up again is because of the interviews that he is allowing. It seems to me that he is drawing attention because that is what he is attracted to: the spotlight. I just think that if a player truly thinks it's a fresh start, then it's time for him to let the stuff in the past go. To me, he should just put his head down and get to work and stop talking until the first big play he makes.

And then he ignores the New York media and refuses to answer questions and they label him a Premadonna? Come on, it's not like he's calling press conferences or something.

The media of your new city sticks a microphone in your face and asks you simple questions and you want him to blow them off? We don't expect that of any other player in the NFL, why would we expect it of Lavar? I've said it before, I'll say it again........for as much press as this "breakup" has gotten, all parties have behaved very well. Lavar has been given opportunity after opportunity to bash the Skins and he hasn't. How many other players who went from pro bowler to injured to benched would be so gracious? It's just getting absurd to me that some people actually think he's been doing anything wrong in this whole situation.

I don't think that the recent interview video on espn's site is him just being polite. The interview looks to have been planned (and he seems to be a more than willing participant). The interview was of Lavar and the reporter, one-on-one, in a seemingly private room.

Oh, I WILL be rooting against him. I just hate seeing ex-Skins do well outside the organization.

Thing is I'm not sure that trading him was ever a viable possibility due to his huge contract.

Lavar, Lavar how far you did fall,
When you pissed Greg off, no sniff of the ball.
Much time to reflect, to the media, did you whine,
That action guaranteed, to buy more of the pine.
Joe say; son, what’s the problem with you?
Gotta be me coach, not a clone, you know it’s true.
That may be costly, be smart, and follow along,
Be a team guy, it’ll work, you can’t afford to be wrong.
Sorry, need the big cash, gotta’ go, the G’men await,
Ask my man Poston, the Skins, there already late.
The brothers P, know best, just look at my perk,
It only cost me six mil to look like a jerk.
The P-men say, four more is good thing,
All the greats, as you know, have to pay for the ring.
You stressed the faithful, often on the WP list
As for the haters, at you, they’re perpetually pissed.
A mistake made, career blown, what a shame,
Coulda’ been a Skins star, got a ring with the same!
