They rid the team of a "distraction" - - and miraculously the rest of the squad immediately blossoms and starts beating all opponents by 4 TDs. Not happening...
The best way to do that is to do what Andy Reid did with Terrell Owens in Philly. Send him home to do sit-ups in his driveway. The picture of AH doing pushups in his driveway would at least provide comic relief for the season...

I've said it that getting rid of Haynesworth doesn't fix all the problems that this team has. However, keeping him the way that Shanahan has kept him, hasn't done the team any good. You either play him or cut him, that should've been the attitude from the get go. Who cares if he goes to another team? That shouldn't be a team concern right, they should just cut him, and stop getting all this stupid press about a guy that's been a bust for us.
