MG: Former Redskin's eatery files for bankruptcy

[rd421]

Gotta be honest, initially I just glance at the thread title before clicking and missed the word "former".

My first thought was that Snyder had run Johnny Rockets into the ground.

ME 2 haha
But honestly Lavar really upset a ton of people with his exit then trashed a legend in Joe Gibbs....then right after tries to open a restaurant to cater to the fans of the team that he screwed and trashed on espn...come on Lavar...I dont think you thought the plan through...

[MWCREDSKINS]

That stinks, I still never went there. I hear Lavar may get a radio show on a new Sportstalk Station

[SKOALSKIN]

it was a terrible idea. Classic case of a former athlete making a horrible business decision.

I thought it was Joe Theismann's restaurant when I first saw it. I guess that's still doing OK? It's been around a long time.

Thats the difference of a player that won a superbowl with us and always praised gibbs, and a player that trashed gibbs on his way to a division rival...

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Heart..... bleeding.

That's the "coward" Karma God in action LaVar.

Try open one up down in big D. You'll be a roaring success with your views down there.

Hail.

Amen to that brother! Lavar Arrington ain't no Cal Ripken!!

[Soup]

Poor Lavar can't catch a break anymore. He's really had some bad run of luck these few years. Hope he's doing ok

[Monk4theHall81]

the downward spiral continues...

[nightbird]

Yeah I saw the headline and was worried it was Theisman's too.

But that place is pretty much an Alexandria landmark, with a sweet location right by the metro.

As for Lavar's place, that is a TON of cash to blow through in a short period of time.

Owning a sports bar is a dream for so many guys i think, but you've got to do it right. Get caught up in too much overhead and the dream turns into a nightmare really fast.

[scuppajones]

He opened it up in a terrible location.

[ntotoro]

He'll eventually find someone else to blame for him being a terrible business owner. Plenty of people will think his bankruptcy is the fault of Gregg Williams and Joe Gibbs, too. All he has to do is say it.

[RememberOsaka]

Besides $12,000 in total debt to Pepco and Washington Gas, The Sideline's largest debts are $766,268 owed to Commercial Interiors in Marriottsville and $330,142 to L.H. Cranston & Sons Inc. in Baltimore.

Good luck creditors...Lavar doesn't often read the contracts he signs

[#98QBKiller]

Theres his first mistake...Largo? Location location location!!!

I was going to say the same thing, what the hell was he doing opening a restaurant in Largo?

[SemperFISkins]

I worked there as a security guard (off duty cop). I will say it is a nice place, above average food, and overall a good idea. However, the location and the patrons are what brought the place down.

Often times at closing, it turned into a "go go" scene just outside. It got so bad, we had to have additional units respond and wait until closing.

You can take the person out of the hood, but not the hood out of the person.
