re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
A business partnership, which is what this relationship is, is a lot like a marriage. You can be right and still lose the argument. You can be wrong, and still "win", its really about how much pain and suffering you are willing to endure to be "right".
My grandfather gave me great advice when I got married: "Sometimes it's better to be happy, than to be right". Meaning, sometime you have to just move on and get over your personal need to be right, even if you feel that you are, in order to be happy.
At this point, I think Shanahan has finally reached the point where he would rather be happy with the team he has, than to be in an ever present battle with Hanesworth about who is "right". I wouldn't call it giving up, I would call it recognizing when you can't win, and salvaging as much of the situation as possible.
I suspect the trade will happen today or tomorrow.
