The Sideline: "A Safe Place To Visit!"

In The Wake of Shootings, "Nothing Happens In Here".

Former Redskin linebacker, turned restaurateur, LeVar Arrington of the Sideline sports bar at Largo, Maryland's Capital Centre Boulevard is taking a stand against community violence.

After seven people were shot, one dead, in the parking lot outside his establishment this past Sunday evening, LeVar and community groups held a peace rally initiative and ‘community call-to-action’ to find solutions to end violence and crime plaguing our community.

One solution we heard repeatedly at the event was that of personal responsibility.

“We all have a responsibility to be positive, and to show [positivity] so that it [encourages] others to be positive. If we can all adopt that attitude and outlook on how we live our lives, I think we’ll eliminate a lot of what we have going on”, said Arrington.

Welcome Back Doc!

Former Redskin Derrick Dockery returns to Washington, DC in another free-agency takeover move by Daniel Synder.

Dockery was picked up by the the Redskins in 2003 as a third-round draft pick, and was an intrical part of the team's offensive line.

He was released in 2007 and subsequently played for the Buffalo Bills before being released again in late February of this year, to Washington's advantage.

He receives $26.5m, over 5 years.

The 6-foot-6, 335 pound offensive guard is 28 years old, and should help alleviate concerns fans (and media) have about the ages of the Redskins' older, returning players.

**Redskins breaking news**: Redskins release defensive line-backer, Jason Taylor. More. (Will Jason tackle Hollywood next?)
