WASHINGTON (AP) -- New York Giants linebacker LaVar Arrington is tentatively scheduled to testify before Congress this week at a hearing involving his former agent.

Arrington, a three-time Pro Bowl player; NFL Players Association general counsel Richard Berthelsen; and a law professor were on a "tentative witness list" e-mailed to The Associated Press on Tuesday by House Judiciary Committee press secretary Terry Shawn.

Arrington did not immediately return a phone message left for him by the AP on Tuesday night.

The Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law has scheduled an oversight hearing for Thursday to examine the NFL Players Association's arbitration process. Lawmakers will be looking into the NFLPA's suspension of Arrington's former agent, Carl Poston, stemming from his handling of a contract the linebacker signed with the Washington Redskins near the end of the 2003 season.

Latter. The Postons are desperate and talked to a couple congressman in their area to try and get the NFL and NFLpa to reverse their suspension from being agents.

Wow, Lavar has officially gone of the deep end:


"They suspended him without a hearing, the NFLPA," Arrington said, sitting in front of his locker at Giants Stadium. "If you are educated and you pay attention to what is going on around you, they do a lot of foul stuff. It's like organized crime, to be honest with you. They are bad."

Equating the player's association to the Mafia? Are you kidding me? Of course, he had to take a jab at Snyder while the mike was in his face:

Arrington said the Redskins faxed a final version of the contract without including the provision for a second $6.5 million roster bonus in 2006.

"I guess when they sent that, there was deception involved from the start and I guess they were hoping to bank on that and they got away with it," Arrington said.

Neither Arrington nor Poston noticed the error. Arrington signed the contract.

"I had no reason to believe at that time that if you are going to give me an eight-year contract and you are going to sit there and rob me, but that's the type of organization it is," Arrington said in another blatant shot at the Redskins.

And if you still think he any shred of credibility left, then this should convince you otherwise:

"I don't know about the whole thing with the NFL, but I definitely know the PA does things that they definitely shouldn't do, and I don't think by any means, by any stretch of the imagination, do they always have the players' best interests in mind," said Arrington, adding he felt the Redskins and the players association were in cahoots in getting Poston suspended.

That's what happens when Jennifer Love Hewitt dumps you...too bad her new boyfriend Marcus Washington hasn't lived up his billing either.

We have to think of another starlet for Washington. Solid early work in relative obscurity, sudden burst of talent, some good followup work, then looks like he's crashing and burning. Hmmm...I have to go with Neve Campbell or Maury Tierney.

Lohan has talent at least(I'm thinking Romo is Lohan--you know the train wreck is coming when they find him ODed on meth with Jessica simpson handcuffed in the bathroom for 3 days without water). I'm thinking Christina Applegate. Never was as hot as as the hype. Put into plenty of situations for success, but never seems to rise past a role/bit player. Mark Brunell has to be Kathleen Turner.
