Most pro-athletes could beat up most media folk.
It's not a secret that Haynesworth isn't exactly a good guy. When he signed the biggest contract ever for a defensive player, he put himself under a big microscope. God forbid he toe the line. While I do think the media made it a WAAAY bigger deal than it really was, to say it was out of jealously is plain silly.
And then you finish it up by basically hoping that Haynesworth draws 15 yard penalties taking cheap shots in every game we play this season?  |
You are right Scud. ESPN has a long history of giving the Redskins a fair shake since Snyder has owned them. Couple that with the equal coverage of Revis possibly skipping the entire year (on a team that should be much more relevant to the nation than Washington) is further proof that I am wrong.
I never said the media shouldn't write anything about him but these jerk-offs who consistently use him as a punchline and say things about him that they would never say to his face are the ones who are gutless.
Btw, when a starting QB goes out there is a much better chance of victory. The Ravens won a championship putting out starting QBs on almost a weekly basis.
