Reaganaut Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Attention: Burning All Bridges! Burning All Bridges! Looks like Arrington's continuing this pattern with Gibbs after being dissed up at Penn State. It's getting lonely for the guy Joe Paterno once said wasn't even the best linebacker on the team. http://www.zimbio.com/LaVar+Arrington/articles/14/Arrington+wishes+plague+upon+Sports+Cafe Arrington wishes 'plague' upon Sports Cafe It looks like Lavar Arrington got screwed out of his deal to purchase the Sports Cafe. From the Daily Collegian: The Sports Café & Grille reopened between 9 and 10 Thursday night to a fiery reaction from "irate" former Nittany Lion LaVar Arrington. Arrington said he has "nothing to do with that place," in response to rumors he might be behind the bar's reopening. "I hope the plague falls upon the Sports Café," he said, adding "I hope it's rat infested. Frickin' roach infested." Arrington and his group, F.A.M.M. LLC, were planning to reopen the bar as "Linebacker U Sports Café." Arrington said last week discussions between he and current owner Kevin Anderson about the sale and purchase of the bar began about six months ago. Negotiations progressed to a final closing meeting on the property held about four weeks ago at Nittany Bank, Arrington said last week. Anderson did not appear at the meeting, Arrington said last week. Since then, Arrington has been unable to contact Anderson. One of the bar's current managers, AJ Madden, declined comment Thursday night and had an employee ask reporters to leave. Anderson has not responded to repeated requests for comment in the past two weeks. "I hope he never makes another dollar off of Sports Café," Arrington said about Anderson Thursday night. Several people walking by the 244 W. College Ave. bar yelled out "Where is LaVar?" Jess DeGore (senior-nutrition) who sat outside, said the bar seemed new, only offering one special, but it would probably be fine in a month. "I have to give them a two thumbs down on the specials," she said. DeGore said she would return to the bar. The former Sports Café & Grille closed in December after being sued by National Penn Bank for $464,324.96 for violating a forbearance agreement. On May 28, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board received the application for transfer of the liquor license to Arrington's group, F.A.M.M. LLC. Since then, the transfer has neither been approved nor unapproved, Francesca Chapman, Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board deputy press secretary, said last week. It is unclear whether the liquor license transfer has gone through. Beer and mixed drinks were served Thursday night. Nothing was available on tap. Arrington said he is not aware of the status of the liquor license. "He is heartbroken over this," Joe Pereira, Arrington's strategist and corporate trainer, said Thursday night. "He wanted to be a part of the community." Pereira said Arrington even had a discussion with Joe Paterno about opening a new bar in State College. Arrington said he will not pursue purchasing the bar but will seek legal action against and compensation from Anderson. "As an alum and someone who has given blood and sweat to build this community, to come back and have to endure something like this ... I don't even know the words right now," he said. "I'm so beside myself right now." Arrington has said Anderson is using Arrington's public status to get people excited about the bar, after reneging on the deal. "Makes no sense for that man to be able to open that place after everything he signed off on," Arrington said. "To even imply that we're partners. Do you understand how irate I am right now?" When it comes to what it takes to open and run a sports bar, Arrington is no rookie. He opened The Sideline during Super Bowl weekend of this year in Largo, Md., Mike Arrington, The Sideline general manager and LaVar Arrington's brother, said last week. LaVar Arrington was selected second overall in the NFL draft in 2000 by the Washington Redskins and was named All-Pro three consecutive seasons. He retired in 2007 from the league after an injury-marred career. The former Penn State linebacker said he is not going to give up on finding a way to be part of the State College community. "Someway, somehow I'm still going to find way to get up there and be a part of the Penn State community that made me be who I am today," LaVar Arrington said. "I'm not going to let petty and feeble-minded individuals that are a part of this situation dictate whether I'm there or not. I'm going to find a place. ... I'm going to find my way to Penn State, I promise you that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Arrignton is WAY too much in the news these days for not doing anything. Someone tell him to STFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaganaut Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wonder if this is a symptom of Roid use. He was always a physical freak. Maybe the Skins know more about him than we know on the outside. Failed drug test perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFGA Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 what a sad case. i wish he would just step back and calm down a bit. Agreed. I dont' think we'll see him on CSN anymore after this. He's pretty much embarassed himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Agreed. I dont' think we'll see him on CSN anymore after this. He's pretty much embarassed himself. and I just read an article not too long ago about how he is so beloved by everyone and how he pulled up next to a cop and they were all enamored with him. It sucks it has come to this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 He needs to drink a tall glass of shut the hell up. He's just bitter that his career was such a waste so now he pops off about anything to get headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatsnack Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You stay classy LaVar! Yes. LaVar has never been wrong about anything in his life, just ask him. When JoePa called him out at Penn state JoePa was a has been who was out of touch with modern college defense. When a succession of defensive coaches in Washington, dating back to Marvin Lewis, said he had a problem playing the caleld defense, everybody had an agenda to "punish" LaVar for doing the right thing. I have never heard an iota of, "I might have done some things better or differently to make things turn out better." No, Coach Gibbs is a "coward", that's the problem right there. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaganaut Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 If what the article is saying is true, I can understand Arrington being pissed over this. Being pissed and showing class is different than being pissed and showing zero class. As an earlier poster said, he needs to drink a big cup of STFU. He's way too angry these days for a "normal" person. He has serious psych problems or he may be on roids IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I was a huge LaVar Arrington fan, but now I have lost all respect for the man. It's almost like he is on a personal mission to seperate himself and alienate each and every fan that he has ever had. Well, I think that he has actually achieved just that this go around. I have always believed that Arrington has had some form of emotional problem to where he has been unable to control his emotions and what he says. But there's medication for that sort of thing. The thing that kills me is... he's not even envolved with football anymore; so where is this crap coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 "Someway, somehow I'm still going to find way to get up there and be a part of the Penn State community that made me be who I am today," LaVar Arrington said. "I'm not going to let petty and feeble-minded individuals that are a part of this situation dictate whether I'm there or not. I'm going to find a place. ... I'm going to find my way to Penn State, I promise you that." I love how he acts like he is just trying to be one of the guys. He is trying to profit from the community not be a part of the community unless I'm mistaken and he is moving to live there fulltime. What he is essentially saying is that his name isn't as tarnished in State College yet and he'd like to make a nice profit while he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaganaut Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 If his comments bother you people so much, why do you keep posting it? Not sure what you mean by this. I posted this article to give some context to the comments Arrington made about Gibbs. He is an unhappy person it seems generally. I still have an Arrington jersey I'm getting ready to trash because of his behavior. I'm sure Packer fans follow Favre comments with interest too.

Gary Clark Fan Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 LA is a has been....and sick of hearing him....to much of a "beloved redskin" when in reality he was a bust (injury or no injury) and he hasn't come to those terms yet. It would be similar to Michael Westbrook, another former skin who had some great moments but was overall a disappointment, shooting his mouth of all the time, but guess what Michael hasn't said a word since he left pro football. And while im not in the M. Westbrook fan club, Lavar could learn a thing or two from him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoasthog Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Damn...this motha ****** needs Jesus! Come on LaVar! What's the next thing you are going to say? Jesus was a *****! Mother Theresa was a slut! Ghandi was a skinny, whiney self promoter! The Dhali Lama stole $50 from me at a Knicks game! Pull your hear out of your rump LaVar. You already burned your Redskins bridges...twice. Don't do the same thing with Penn douche bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaggsboy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 If you look at the article, it is from September 5th. I go to PSU and read that the day it was in the Collegian. A couple of weeks later there was another article that said Lavar patched things up with the new management and was looking into a partnership. It turned out the restaraunt gave free apetizers to anyone wearing a Lavar jersey the whole first week under new management, and Lavar ended up watching the Ohio State/PSU game at the bar.
