[DCBoysfan]

Prince George's Hospital Center is not the best place to get care, I guess it was the closest hospital, from his accident. I hope he will be OK.

WASHINGTON -- Former Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington was injured Monday afternoon in a motorcycle accident in Prince George's County, according to police.

The incident happened at about 1 p.m. on a ramp from westbound Route 50 to the Outer Loop of the Beltway.

Arrington apparently lost control of his motorcycle and hit a guardrail, officials said.

He was transported to Prince George's County Hospital with what officials described as "non-life-threatening" injuries.

State police are investigating.

Michael Smith on NFL Live just reported that Arrington sustained a broken arm and broke his leg in three different places. On top of the achilles injury from last year he was currently rehabbing, he is almost assuredly out for the entire 2007 season. Another blow for a Giants team who was already looking like they would finish at the cellar of the NFC East.

Per ESPN, has a broken forearm and broke his leg in 3 places. This according to his agent Posten.

Gone for this upcoming year.

Wouldn't that make his career done? because why was Theisman done after his leg broke in 2?

[Yeagermeister]

I hate to see anyone get hurt. He should have learn from Rothlesberger and Winslow to leave those things alone.

He was pretty much done anyways...with these types of injuries I cannot see him coming back. He does have some media experience though, so he can probably land a spot somewhere.

Theesman's leg was a compound fracture of both bones. Arrington may not have completely broken either bone.

Apparently Arrington was planning on retiring, he just was hoping that he could make a comeback... His speed as we all know made him a terror to play against.. but after that achilles injury and all his previous ones incurred, he lost his great explosiveness and now he is a pedestrian player.... to be honest.

Arrington was best along the line playing DE, because his responibilities were not so complicated as a LB's. We all know Arrington liked to freelance, something Gary Williams' disliked because his system is so oriented on zones and structure.

Honestly I don't know why he went to NY, since Coughlin is just as much of a stickler for structure on the field as well.

Either way, I hope the guy can just make it out of this all with his life, even if it IS his arm and maybe leg that are broken. The guy has boatloads of money...though I think his pride is what is in short stock. I say go to the carribean and drink pina coladas for the rest of your life and forget about the NFL.

Godspeed Lavar

eww nasty.

[Yeagermeister]

eww nasty.

I saw it live and too this day I turn my head when it's shown. :(

[apickmans]

Lavar was one of my favorite players when he was here. When he left it left a sour taste and I was angry at him for it. I've missed the days when he reaked havoc, and it sucks that he had this accident as it almost gurantees that he will never play again. Get well Lavar.

[AdamJT13]

In typical ExtremeSkins fashion, they've called him a "former Giant" and have threatened a five-day ban for anyone starting a thread about him in the Redskins forum.

Me too...That stuff just makes me sick to my stomach.

[InmanRoshi]

If he could have played his career in the 3-4 he would have been one of the all time greats. The only time he even came close is when he played with Marty for 1 year and had 11 sacks, and they weren't really playing a true 3-4 that year.

Wow are you serious? How childish...

I agree, if he could have played in a place like Pittsburgh, HOF career for sure....

what a bunch of bums!!!

I don't visit the ES site anyway...

this group is way better!!

[burmafrd]

ES has to be the most childish and ignorant fan site possible.

[1fisher]

Doesn't matter that he plays for a rival team.... Get well soon Lavar!

what a bunch of idiots!:puke:

[sacase]

I usually hang out in the tailgate section since they talk about politics and real life events and no football. They gave a guy a 5 day ban because he posted it in there and he had no idea that there was a "ban rule" in effect because he never went to the main board.

[CrazyCowboy]

I sure hope he was wearing a helmet and he will recover completely

[Achozen]

Reminds me of Jay Williams' situation.

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Wow. Just wow.

Glad to know his injuries are not life treatening.

[GimmeTheBall!]

Bless that big dumb guy.

[Twyst]

I used to meet quite a few players at my old college job and lavar sticks out as one of the guys that was actualy a pleasure when he came in. Hope he is OK, but I think his career was done before this accident. He isnt even signed to a team currently is he?

[Faerluna]

Me too...That stuff just makes me sick to my stomach.

I saw Junior Seau break his arm last year. I knew as soon as I saw it before they even said he was injured. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

Dude his arm was just dangling, disgusting! I was watching that game when that happened...

[Hoofbite]

Read on ESPN that he was wearing a helmet. Probably saved his life.

Great news! Thanks/.....

[Bob Sacamano]

Good to hear. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

[HighTechDave]

I don't wish any ill will to anyone, so i hope he gets better.

With that in mind:

Redskins and Giants suck
