Title: Albert Haynesworth Traded to New England Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 28, 2011, 07:27:53 AM I don't care what the writer thinks, I see this as a mistake.
The Washington Redskins have traded Albert Haynesworth to the Patriots. In Washington, Haynesworth was a bum. A malcontent, a horrible teammate and a stone, cold jackass. In New England, he'll turn into the best defensive lineman in football http://mike-freeman.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6264363/30936637 Title: Re: Albert Haynesworth Traded to New England Post by: Chechem on July 28, 2011, 07:33:48 AM Looks like we were posting simultaneously. Lots of quick NFL business now that the contracts can be negotiated. Keep the news coming and thanks, MD.

Was he trying to get out of Washington so he laid down or do you see this as a good move for NE?

NE has a pattern of dealing well with these types of players, and NE probably got him at a bargain price. Steroid rage?

Center Andre Gurode fell to the ground, and his helmet was removed by Haynesworth.
Haynesworth tried to stomp on Gurode's head, but missed. A second stomp opened a severe wound on Gurode's forehead, narrowly missing his right eye. The referee assessed Haynesworth with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, to which Haynesworth protested by taking off his helmet and throwing it into the turf; Haynesworth was then assessed an additional 15-yard penalty and ejected." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Haynesworth Title: Re: Albert Haynesworth Traded to New England Post by: BAMAWV on July 28, 2011, 08:17:32 AM I watched a Bryant Gumball hosted sports magazine type show on HBO where "experts" contended that 'roid rage was a myth. Seems to me the shrinkage problem alone would be enough to make you a little disgruntled-- no pun intended.

Title: Re: Albert Haynesworth Traded to New England Post by: cbbama99 on July 28, 2011, 12:17:58 PM I guess Pats brass and Belichick see him as another reclamation project. The man no doubt has the talent to be one of the best, but the question is whether he can get his head together to go along with the physical talent. If any team can do it, its the Pats.
