Skoobydum Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Haynesworth stopped practicing early Tuesday at training camp and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. Shanahan gave varying explanations for Haynesworth's idleness each day. The coach initially said Haynesworth ''just was sick,'' then said the cause was dehydration, then finally said it was ''more of a headache than anything else.'' Haynesworth said he had something more, but he didn't specify what. ''You'll have to ask them, but I guess they'll tell you 'headaches' again,'' said Haynesworth, emphasizing the word by holding his fingers in the air to simulate quotation marks. ''It was part of it, but it wasn't all of it. They left out a whole lot of stuff.'' http://sports.mobile.msn.com/en-us/articles.aspx?aid=2726389&acid=2&afid=0

Cornerville Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Haynesworth may turn out to be the laziest piece of crap ever and a colossal waste of money but people still believe that spending money is the key to winning a championship. PTR Yes, its not like the Saints spent a lot of $ on a QB or anything
justnzane Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Yes, its not like the Saints spent a lot of $ on a QB or anything They did sign him after having a torn labrum and possible rotator cuff damage. So, Miami didn't opt to sign him and he went to N.O. for 6 years/ 60 million which is cheaper than what most QB's of his caliber make. FWIW, Matt Stafford and Sam Bradford have better contracts than Brees currently does.
NoSaint Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Fwiw how many qbs have better deals then bradford right now?

PTR I always enjoy it when someone has excelled in becoming, in this instance, "the laziest piece of crap ever". Somehow, you know there's a rookie out there gunning to beat this...

So, Miami didn't opt to sign him and he went to N.O. for 6 years/ 60 million which is cheaper than what most QB's of his caliber make. FWIW, Matt Stafford and Sam Bradford have better bigger contracts than Brees currently does. Fixed. Seriously, Haynesworth is now realizing that he has to work to earn his millions and it's pissing him off. Poor baby. How much of that contract was guaranteed?
Kkspike Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Poor fat Albert he will never be happy. He would make a perfect raider though.
aristocrat Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Fwiw how many qbs have better deals then bradford right now? roethilisberger, both mannings, aaron rodgers is close, favre,palmer, rivers.
dpberr Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I think it's about being smart spending the money. Haynesworth had a reputation for the behavior he demonstrates today. No amount of money or coaching is going to correct a headcase.

Gabe Northern Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Haynesworth may turn out to be the laziest piece of crap ever and a colossal waste of money but people still believe that spending money is the key to winning a championship. PTR Funny. When I read the OP, I immediately began scrolling down to see how you'd manipulate the news as evidence to bolster you apologia for the front office.
tbonestake Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 You can't expect him to practice when he is hanging around with characters like Dumb Donald and Mushmouth! They always have junkyard band practice!!!

Name one team that paid a player the most money at his position and then had that player perform at that level? PTR Edited August 23, 2010 by PromoTheRobot
Bob in STL Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Yes, its not like the Saints spent a lot of $ on a QB or anything Brees' contract is a great deal .. for the Saints.
billsfreak Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 They should trade him and eliminate the distraction. he's a 4-3 tackle anyway, not a great fit in a 3-4. Not to mention that the majority of that ridiculous contract has already been paid by the Deadskins.
tbonestake Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Name one team that paid a player the most money at his position and then had that player perform at that level?
