As for the critics' saying the Danny has reverted to his old ways, you really can't blame them or say that they are flat out wrong either.Giving any one athlete, no matter good, a $100 million + deal is just asking for trouble in my book anyway. A Rod isn't worth half what Steinbrenner is paying him, neither was MJ in his early years with the Bulls for that matter as one guy no matter how special can get you a ring on his own.

Actually if we hadn't gotten Haynesworth, the Giants would have. Can you imagine the Giants' D-line if they had gotten Haynesworth? Having a dominant player on your roster, rather than on your opponent's roster, can be good personnel sense while necessitating a heavy price tag. If you ask me the people who say, "Same old Danny," with regards to Haynesworth often overlook this aspect.
If he is a total bust, then yes, we will overpay him. But even if he is a bust, one can still defend the gamble on his talent, if not the final outcome of the gamble.
