Lavar on 980 Tuesday Morning

[occidio]

Just a little heads up..


Apparently Lavar is going on Doc Walker's show to give a special announcement to the Washington Area Skin Fans.

Doc announced this today on his morning show. Also stating that he is still a huge fan of Lavar.


I dont know what this moron is going to announce I hope it has nothing to do with Football. This guy is a disgrace to the sport. He had one or two good years then proceeded to play Linebacker like a pro wrestler.

[dfbovey]

Probably announcing his retirement.

What a coincidence. I have a special announcement to make to Lavar: :finger:

[ThePreciating]

It better be a public apology.

Vet min plus incentives :excited:

[panel]

Lavar was a Great player that wanted nothing more than to win. maybe one of the fastest linebackers ever, and one of the most brutal hitters we have ever seen. Marty knew how to let him loose, and just because some D coordinators are not willing to change their systems to highlight their talent doesn't mean LaVar was a disgrace.

[Blue Collar Skins]

What a coincidence. I have a special announcement to make to Lavar: :finger:I don't know why but I found this hilarious. :silly:

[Stophovr6]

He better grovel and then some.

[Walking Deadman]

It better be a public apology.

Vet min plus incentives :excited:

Lavar has a 95 rating :excited: just like Romo 95 rating :excited:

[More Complete]

I don't know why but I found this hilarious. :silly:

L:laugh:L!

[roqnap1]

Maybe there's a new Easterns Motors commercial coming out.... SWEET!

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

hes gotta be retiring. theres no way hes doing anything else.

[Darth Tater]

We're bringing him in as a pass-rush specialist at DE?

[jwpanic]

Probably announcing his retirement.

agreed. i doubt that danny will give him a 1-day contract so he can retire as as skin, however.

[PA Skin Fan]

+1

L:laugh:L!

I LOL'd as well!!

[Grimm]

Probably announcing his retirement.

That would be my guess, despite all the bad blood, its really a shame what happened to his career.

[ntotoro]

Took the words right out of my mouth... :laugh:

Reason #1 why LaWanda continues to believe that no problem he has is ever of his own doing.

[sableholic]

That would be my guess, despite all the bad blood, its really a shame what happened to his career.

Agreed :applause:

[jeronimobrat]

He'll probably tell us that he's selling nickel bags due to the 4 million dollars he gave back to us.

[VsR785]

i'd take LaVar as a pass rushing specialist (DE), since ya know, thats an area of need....

[jsteelz]

i know lavar had said a lil while ago that he's opening a restaurant called"the Sideline" in the shopping complex where the old Capital Centre was... i bet thats what it is

[LiveStrongSkins]

I dont get why people hate the guy so much. You knew from day 1 he was emotional so when hes being attacked in the media whether it be justified or not he is going to get defensive. It's what anyone else would do too. I like LaVar. It's a shame how his career spiraled downward. I personally hope that his life after football is a great one.

[BrodysDad]

Anyone care to share what was actually said/announced?

[SUSkinsFan]

my problem with Lavar started after he left. He gave one of our playbooks to the Giants (and I gained alot of respect for them when they didn't open it and promptly returned it) and all he did while in NY was bad mouth us. If he had just left and let that be the end of it I wouldn't have a problem with him.

I hate LaVar because of all the bad mouthing he has done as soon as he left. He didn't want to go anywhere else but NFC east JUST so he could play the skins twice a year. He was threating about giving out playbooks and such. On on a side note, he was never a team player. He was an exceptional player but never a team player. It's not like we didn't want to keep him at first, but he wasn't ready to take a paycut for the team when he was struggling. Well I am kinda happy his career ended.

[jsteelz]

His big announcement will be he's .......opening a restaurant called "the Sideline" in the shopping complex where the old Capital Centre was..

It's not Tuesday morning yet. :)

[BALLz]

If you go to sports talk 980s website they have a taped interview posted on the site. He has kids screaming in the back ground and his daughter is playing with a redskins nerf football. He did mention his Sports Bar. Said he was glad he beat the skins this year but he loved the fans and only has hard feeling to a few individuals and not the whole organization. Then he started talking bout the NBA finals and i got bored an turned it off.

[Bigredskin77]

i hope its announcing that he is coming back to sign with the Washington redskins. He'll play d-end for us and lead the skins in sacks. Give us the pass rush we need.

[Hooper]

Lavar as a d-end? LMAO. We tried that a couple times, remember? He was TERRIBLE at it. He had no moves and would try to bull-rush guys with 50 pounds on him. It was pathetic.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Maybe there's a sale at Eastern Motors?

[occidio]

First off, there is no reason why this thread should have been moved.. Its about Lavar on 980 ( a D.C radio station ) and hes making an announcement to Redskin fans...


Bad move mods, you guys overanalyze this board.


As for his announcement of a new sports bar..

this will probably be the most ghetto fabulous craphole in the whole D.C area. You think lavar knows the first thing about running a resteraunt... HELLL NO.

[Siven]

LaVar is a sad case. He was Mr. Redskin after DG left. He was the only reason I watched games back then. His talent was misused, and Williams has said, When LaVar is on the field, I am a better coach. I don't know, it's just sad what happened to him.

[Gilgamesh]

I hear at his new restaurant, the server tells you vaguely what's on the menu, you order, then you get to get a copy of the menu to actually read about what you agreed to order.

[laurent]

this will probably be the most ghetto fabulous craphole in the whole D.C area. You think lavar knows the first thing about running a resteraunt... HELLL NO.

You think Lavar will be running that joint?

[Gilgamesh]

You think Lavar will be running that joint?

Don't the Poston Brothers need something to do these days?

[laurent]

I hear at his new restaurant, the server tells you vaguely what's on the menu, you order, then you get to get a copy of the menu to actually read about what you agreed to order.

I've heard that for the sake of authenticity waiters will be instructed to server food on a "can't get right" basis. Waiters are instructed to deliberately ommit parts of the order and the managers are instructed to blame you for screwing up the order when you complain.

[dez_mick]

The day after you eat there you get a call from Lavar saying that you owe him 6 more bucks.

[Jeremiah_Johnson]

He was overrated.

[tr1]

He was overrated.

For once, we agree.

[ArmchairRedskin]

The day after you eat there you get a call from Lavar saying that you owe him 6 more bucks.



Even after you have two of his waiters look over the bill and say it's correct?

[Tastes Like Chicken]

What happens at LA's restaurant, is that you order the food, he freelances and changes the order, then he takes a bad angle and overshoots your table, serving the food to someone else. He then blames it on Dan Snyder, and that he's had 5 different head chefs in 6 years, and you need to give him a bigger tip than the 18% automatically added that he agreed to, and then he pays you some money so that he doesn't have to serve your table anymore. Then he takes the menu to the restaurant next door so they can steal the recipes, and proceeds to be lousy at that restaurant as well, until they fire him.

[RDSKNfaithfull]

since Lindsey is gone and he is comming back for vet min :cheers:

:applause: brilliant, just brilliant! :allhail:

[Spartacus87]

Williams has said, When LaVar is on the field, I am a better coach. I don't know, it's just sad what happened to him. I'd like to see the context of this quote. I've seen it used before, particularly when LaVar Lovers still try to defend the guy in the same miserable way Ramsey loyalists defend Patrick, but I'd like to see just how and when Williams said this. I can't imagine it was meant in any other way than trying to just smooth things over and get the media off of the LaVar vs. the World issue.

then he pays you some money so that he doesn't have to serve your table anymore.

So did anyone hear this today? :whoknows:

Recap? :whoknows:

[SkinsOrlando]

At Lavar's restaurant everything costs just 2 nickels.

[Highway66]

What was the big announcemant

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

id like to know as well, did anyone listen to this?

[ntotoro]

What was the big announcemant

He finally read his contract... ?

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

He finally read his contract... ?


he knows how to read?

[ABQCOWBOY]

Lavar has a 95 rating :excited: just like Romo 95 rating :excited:


Are you trying to say that Romo is going to be as big a pain in the behind as Arrington was for the Skins?

;)

[Siven]

listening to the show, dl'd it off 980's website.

LaVar says hes trying to get his body together, he isn't where he wants to be, long slow recovery, keeping his body together, not where he should be. not closing the door on playing, ray ray and him are close, baltimore is his first option, he had bitter feelings towards individuals in the redskins, he just had kids, just opened a restaurant, he says the redskin fans meant the world to him, restaurant is how he starts his give back process to the community. sept 25 is opening, if he doesn't get a good offer, he says he wasn't even in NY long enough to form an opinion, he says he has to talk to his wife about it, it has to be a good offer, says he has actually begun to listen to people who criticize him, he says he ignored them because he focused so hard on being the best. he's raising his kids to be Redskin fans it seems, now it's going to basketball, and i dont care anymore.

Thank you, i didnt get a chance to listen to the radio this morning. What an ass clown though.. who the hell is going to give him a good offer to play. Hes terrible.

[Siven]

not a problem at all, I was curious, one thing I noticed about LaVar, is he sounded pretty defeated.

[Mr. S]

he wants to raise his kids as Redskins fans. I know he will have to sit out a year, but if he can get healthy, he definitely could fit in with the Ravens. I hated how he cried his way out of DC, but I do think he was also mistreated, he just should not have immediately bashed the coaches/owner. I actually hope he can play in 2008.

[ntotoro]

His restaurant is how he's giving to the community... ? Only if it's free meals.

I liked him, and mistreated is awfully nice way to put it. I think he got cornholed by the coaches. I think he would fit in with the Ravens, surrounded by playmakers and a good dline.

then again, who wouldn't fit in?

[Leonard Washington]

a lot of you guys are *******s.

i hope lavar can bounce back and be successful; if its on the football field or not. if karma actually exists, i can see why the skins perennially under achieve. we can't let **** go and hold on to grudges forever.

Maybe if LA could just once, take accountability for being a distraction when he was here, or apologize for parading around in front of the camera with his stupid playbook threats, MAYBE some fans in DC would forgive him. But it's more difficult without an apology, much less an acknowledgement of wrongdoing.

Eff him.

[Walking Deadman]

Whoop de do......That was the BIG announcement?

The best thing Lavar could do is to say sorry to the Redskins fans for how it ended here (including going to NY and becoming a Giant), shut up about the organization and go on with his life.

He's got a family to raise and a new buisness to run and maybe a comeback in the future to another NFL/CFL/AFL team.... the Redskins and his history with the Skins is over when he put on that blue jersey IMO.
Lavar will not be the next John Riggins, Dexter Manley, Monk, Green or other legend who is loved here.

I was bitter about how it ended, his comments towards the team (which radiated to the fans) and Coach Gibbs. I'm also sad that he really never was a feature player with a winning team during his tenure (2005 really doesn't count since he was injured during most of it with exception to the Tampa playoff game) b/c at one point he was a great player.

But I wish Lavar the best in his future endeavors and if he plays for the Ravens and I hope he just moves on from the Skins. After this post I think I have.

[dez_mick]

Thanks for takin' out Aikman, Lavar. That will be your legacy to me. It was fun while it lasted.
Other than that, good bye and good luck.

[ntotoro]

a lot of you guys are *******s.

When his restaurant tanks, and it will, don't worry. He'll just find somewhere else to place the blame other than himself.

[CM916]

I've let it go as I do feel bad about how things ended up for him. We never got to see Mike Sellers take him out as promised because he never really got to play against us like he wanted. It just didn't feel quite right when I got my "I told you so" in to a Giants fan who harassed me from the moment they signed him.


I haven't forgiven Lavar yet though as I'm still waiting for an apology. His comments about the fans are a start but that's not enough. We'll always have the end of Aikman and the Tampa playoff game, whatever the future brings.

[scruffylookin]

I liked him, and mistreated is awfully nice way to put it. I think he got cornholed by the coaches. I think he would fit in with the Ravens, surrounded by playmakers and a good dline.

You got it.

LaVar was vindicated with the defensive meltdown last season and the complete dysfunction of the defensive staff exposed for all to see that resulted in Lindsey being canned and yet some still love to blame LaVar. :rolleyes: Too bad it was one season too late or perhaps LaVar would still have been here.

I wish him and his family all the best in whatever he wants to do next but I really don't think it should be football. His body is telling him enough is enough. He's had injury issues now for three straight seasons. I don't think it's worth it anymore.

Thanks for being the one consistent beacon of great play in an otherwise forgettable era of Redskin football LaVar.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Lavar's career just makes me sad. It started off so promising and then injuries and the Redskins' general lunacy just kind of killed it.

It's always a "What if?" game, but I still think that if he had been able to play his entire career in a stable environment with a defensive-minded team, he would have been a Hall of Famer. I've always thought he would have been a truly awesome 3-4 outside linebacker.

oh most definately, his athletic ability, I think he truly would have been the next LT in a 3-4. LT looked good because he was rushing from a 3-4 position.

[ceviker]

Lavar's story is so sad. I loved him here. Almost all of us loved him. Its just sad anyway you slice it.

[Dirk Diggler]

Lavar was a Great player that wanted nothing more than to win. maybe one of the fastest linebackers ever, and one of the most brutal hitters we have ever seen. Marty knew how to let him loose, and just because some D coordinators are not willing to change their systems to highlight their talent doesn't mean LaVar was a disgrace.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Marty's 2001 defense wasn't even close to GW's 2004 or 2005 D.

Players like Antonio Pierce, Marcus Washington, Cornelius Griffin, Shawn Springs, and Ryan Clark have played on other teams in other systems for other coordinators. Yet all played their best ball in Washington under Greg Williams. Seems like the "inflexibility" of Williams systems suits other players just fine. Maybe if Lavar were a little more flexible, focused, and accountable - he could have flourished too?

LaVar was vindicated with the defensive meltdown last season and the complete dysfunction of the defensive staff exposed for all to see that resulted in Lindsey being canned and yet some still love to blame LaVar. Too bad it was one season too late or perhaps LaVar would still have been here.

Absurd. One poor season and it's vindication!!!! Halelujah!!!

I could just as easily say that the Skins were vindicated when LA's Giant campaign was marked by 2 very predictable things - injury and inconsistency.



Thanks for being the one consistent beacon of great play in an otherwise forgettable era of Redskin football LaVar.

Great play? All sizzle and no steak for most of his career.

[Mr. S]

He should apologize yes. He also did put himself above the coaches and did not buy into their scheme. However, the coaches also mistreated him. It worked both ways, both sides were too egotistical. However, i agree that w/o him, our run defense suffered tremendously in 2006. Granted Holdman was just too horrible as well.

Because of that, we had to waste essentially our only draft pick last year on Rocky. I like Rocky and hope he works out.

[ntotoro]

LaVar Arrington... a man whose career will ultimately never have amounted to anything other than subjunctives and the blame game.

Sorry but there wasn't a cause and effect with Lavar leaving and our run defense sucking. In 2004, our run defense was amazing (tops in the league) and he missed most of that season. The reasons behind our fall from defensive dominance are complex. There wasn't just one reason though the Lavar-worshipping simpletons try to convince people it was.

[Hooper]

Lavar trashed Gibbs in print and on TV. F - him for his lack of class.

[chrisavery72]

Karma is a *****. You put something out there like he did with Gibbs and you are asking for people to dislike you right off the bat. I wish him the best but I wish he would think before speaking even more.

I was not involved, but remembering a number of your posts, if you're against it, it must have been exactly the right move. :)

And looking at it now, it was and hardly required "over-analysis" either. :laugh:

It belongs here, plain and simple.

Bad move, occido. You overanalyze the mods. :D

What's funny about guys complaining to the Mods about there Nazi style or whatever people call it (over analyzing), I can almost bet that its more of a jealousy that they want control. They wish they were running the site, but didn't put it together and create what ES is today. The Mods and Owners did. Instead of bashing the Mods, why not just either stay quiet or offer your opinions in a PM. I am sure they will listen to suggestions. This site makes all Redskins fans happy, so people really need to stop nitpicking.

Oh, by the way this is not a suckup, just a pure observation. I can admit I do not agree with some of what the Mods do, however, I did not create the site so who am I to complain. I still love ES to death and think overall, its the best thing on the internet for me.

[Redshu]

my problem with Lavar started after he left. He gave one of our playbooks to the Giants (and I gained alot of respect for them when they didn't open it and promptly returned it) and all he did while in NY was bad mouth us. If he had just left and let that be the end of it I wouldn't have a problem with him.

He gave them a playbook!? Well that sinks it, that guy can chap his lips on my fuzzy beanbag.:security:

Jumbo, most of the time I post/posted it was about lavar and my point of view that he is a terrible linebacker, when he was with the skins and when he wasnt with the skins.


Me saying it was a bad move to move it to this forum is b/c its a local "washington d.c" radio station.. Doc Walker ("ex-redskin") advertised it as a announcement to "redskin fans" and the fact that I really dont want any other fan other than redskin fan's opinion on lavar and his crappy announcement.

and with all do respect, I am not jealous of the Mods job. Keep up the good work Jumbo, i think your the only one that hasnt banned me... more than once.
