LaVar Gone

Most diehard fans knew from the way news stories were going that chances were slim that LaVar would be with the team going into 2006. Nevertheless, those of us who love his energy and passion and penchant for big plays never gave up hope that differences between him and management/ownership would get reconciled.

The scary thought is of playing against LaVar and his big play ability. Seeing LaVar in green, white, and black surely makes all Skins fans sick to their stomachs. Worse yet, imagine him wearing the Cowboy star on his helmet. Perhaps some provisions were made as part of his buyout that he wouldn't sign on with a division rival. Then again, I don't know how such provisions would ultimately work since he's the one who paid the Redskins to buy out his contact, not vice versa.

Most Skins fans are sad to see him go... good luck LaVar! (just not when you're playing the Redskins)

Very saddening to see him go. Such a fan favorite. It's a shame that G. Williams has such a huge chip on his shoulder that he MUST prove that it's his SYSTEM, not the players. So Lavar suffers. I wish him all the best.

I hear you Adam.

The latest from ESPN is that LaVar is visiting with the Giants. Surely Antonio Pierce will be trying to convince LA that New York will be a great place to play and where he can play against the Skins twice a year. Let's hope that doesn't work out.
