An update on the Arrington playing time fiasco includes a pretty great summary of the situation:

“You’ve got a young guy who has been to three straight Pro Bowls, and he’s healthy, and he never gets into the game,” one NFL general manager said. “Boy, I’ve never heard of that. I’m sure there are some subplots going on there, but I’ve been in this league a long time, and that’s a new one for me. I think that’s pretty unheard of.”

A little later on in the story:

As to why precisely he is not playing, Arrington said cryptically: “I’m not for sure. What I may suspect . . . it may be.”

Um, yeah. Seriously, what’s the deal?

And while we’re here, I’d like to state for the record that it’s probably time for the Redskins to change their name to something that isn’t so offensive and stupid. May I suggest that they go by “the Silverbacks”? Come on, how cool would that be?
