Redskins' owner 'disappointed' by absent Albert Haynesworth - NFL - SI.com

Haynesworth's ascense disappoints Redskins owner - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN

Don't shoot the messenger, it's not an ESPN story. It's the Associated Press. Would it be nice if the focus was on refurbishing the inner city field? Sure. But let's not kid ourselves, even here that a thread on that would get maybe 3 replies before it turned into a bitch session

We should just merge all the Haynesworth threads into one mega fat Al thread and just let it die. I'm so tired of hearing about this guy.

Aren't you supposed to be halfway to plastered by now?

Hahaha. Just saw this post. We didn't get it started until about 7:30 on Saturday night, but yeah, it was a ton of fun.

It's not too often I side with PFT/Florio, but this is dead on IMO:


Haynesworth was promised before signing he could attack the quarterback when he came to Washington. The Redskins even considered trying to bring his old Titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn to town. Haynesworth had Snyder's ear.

Now that's all changed. He's being asked to occupy blockers, and he can't go around the coaches to get to Snyder anymore.

To this, we say: grow up. Things in life happen that are bigger than you. Coaches get fired, schemes change.

The Haynesworth camp would be better off not giving his side of the story.

I agree, but to be clear, Haynesworth hasn't said anything yet. JLC is putting words in his mouth to stir up trouble. We're being "deceived"...

There really isn't a side of the story to give. There was a voluntary mini-camp. He's on a workout regiment in Tennessee that, in his estimation, prevented him from going.

I guess his side of the story might be "I'm a better player for not going". A lot of fans would call bs on that, I suppose. Saying "he should have been there" is too broad for my tastes. Maybe the best argument against Haynesworth's actions is that his head coach thought he should be there.

I guess I can see the selfishness in trying to make yourself the best player you can be (at the expense of...well, something), but I don't know. This is pretty ridiculous that the fans and media are more worked up about this than the Redskins are.

I feel that that's fair.. aside from the running to Snyder thing. Did he run to Snyder last year or just regularly meet with the guy? Who knows.

We've probably all accepted job offers that ended up entailing stuff that wasn't covered beforehand and we took it for a bit and then moved on. If they mislead him then it's on the Skins whether that be Blache or Snyder. However, with the coaching change you do have to accept that. Until I hear a quote from Haynesworth (not from a close associate, former barber, or Delorean-driving person from the future.. or was it the past? or present person that went into the future and then came back to report it, there we go) saying that he's not happy with the coaches, the scheme, his position, etc then everything is fine. We'll start to find out any REAL news next month.

I'll agree with that.....Many people are upset with Haynesworth about now. Everything that can possibly be said about him has already been said. Different thread title, but will solicit basically the same type response.......merge!
