LAVAR ARRINGTON TRIES TACKLING A GUARDRAIL
Lavar Arrington crashed into a guardrail today on his motorcycle, reminding us again that if we were NFL owners, we’d employ a squad of talented young men just to steal potentially dangerous toys from our highly paid players, including motorcycles, hang gliders, and that most dangerous toy of all, your new best friend Pac Man Jones. (West VA what!)
This surprises no one on staff here, since Lavar’s been crashing headfirst into things for years, dating back to his stay in Happy Valley. (HT: Ben.)
Heal up, Lavar, and rest safe that you’ve made your five in the league and are now pension-eligible, and had the good sense to wear a helmet, that marvelous device without which EDSBS might have never happened. Now just give the bike to Pac-Man so he can’t take more than one person with him anywhere and we’ll all be happy.

To be fair, that was against an Illinois team that still would have lost by two scores if Joe Paterno was starting in Arrington’s spot.

Typical LaVar play — trying to make the spectacular (guardrail) tackle while neglecting the basic lane he was supposed to cover.

Fortunately, the folks at Eastern Motors have him covered.
I do hope you’ve seen this, Orson:

Just happy to hear that he’s alive and will eventually recover. That’ll probably do it for his NFL career (he was facing a tough road back, anyway), so now he can perhaps get into broadcasting or coaching, in case a young linebacker needs to learn the proper way to conduct an on-field assault on a hapless Pitt punter.

I’ve always thought the NFL should hire people to be babysitters for the athletes, like calling for a limo at 4 in the morning from the club, wanding them to make sure they’re not armed, and showing them videos of Evel Knievel crashing to keep them off motorcycles.

Upon viewing the altercation between Arrington and the guardrail, Lamar Thomas expressed a desire to “go down there and get in that thing.”
