Koolblue13 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think we can all agree that his career was over long before he crashed his bike. I had heard he didn't have any cartalidge left in his knee. Evenif he had the tiniest bit of gas in the tank, I can't imagine he could ever play for us again. Over all, his career is a sad reminder of just how hard this league is to survive in. Drafted high, by the team he grew up cheering for, early sucsess and then after being ravaged by injuries, a coaching staff with a scheme he couldn't wrap his head around. I do wish things could have gone much better for him, but alas, it didn't. I don't ever do disclaimers, but I'm a little wacked out because of some pain killers. Stupid spider bite.

520skins Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 after the way he badmouthed gibbs, the coaching staff and the organization as a whole, it might be a little too hard to fathom. but i could see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebster21 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 He would sign a one day contract say he was going to retire and then go sign a 4 year deal with Philly. I say no do not let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Question: Is this the dumbest tradition in all of sports? Why does it matter that Jerry Rice retired as a 49er? Does this honestly matter? If I were a player, I think I would play 10 years in one city, two years in another, and then sign a one-day contract to retire with the Cardinals. Why? Why the hell not?

HailSkinz1 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Look, LaVar ain't going to Canton okay. That's the only reason players like to sign at the end of their careers with their original team: Art Monk and Brian Mitchell both did it so they could retire Redskins and enter the HOF as Redskins (okay, so that's not working out real good so far....). Jerry Rice re-signed with SF if I'm not mistaken. I really don't think LaVar cares to end his career as a Redskin and I really don't think the Redskins care if he does or not. To me, it's a non-issue. Now that his career is done, LaVar was nothing more than a highly touted, highly talented, underperformer. And a bit of a whiner at that. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel70ChipOnWhite Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Didn't B Mitch come back and retire after bad mouthing this organization worse than Lavar did, and continues to do so on a daily basis?

McD5 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 A player who badmouths Joe Gibbs is dead to me. No way. That is crazy. Portis badmouthed the coaches.....yet the homo love for him still runs strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr77 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 He would probably come out and say that the one day contract originally stated that he would receive a $6.5 million signing bonus. He would then claim that the Redskins changed it behind his back and refused to pay it. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I really don't want to see him in a Redskins jersey or hat ever again, personally. However, either way I really don't care as long as he's not taking up a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 He deserves to retire a Redskin less than Staubach did. LaVar was my favorite player for years, but he's burned and nuked his bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 That is crazy. Portis badmouthed the coaches.....yet the homo love for him still runs strong. Portis was frustrated after a game. Arrington was an ass because Arrington is an ass. No comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll forever remember him for that, but at the same time it's also hard to forget how much Lavar badmouthed us in the end. I hope he recovers and leads a normal life. As for retiring as a Redskin, thanks but no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyescor Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I agree with Kool that's it's a sad story no matter how you look at it. It also doesn't look good when the guy was basically complaining about Dale Lindsey who then gets fired by Gibbs in the offseason. Sad to see such talent go to waste so soon...
