I wholeheartedly agree that Albert Haynesworth had to leave Washington. What angers me is the thought that he might actually benefit from the the trade to the Patriots. I know what Washington Redskins owner, Dan Snyder, was trying to accomplish with bringing over the big man but ultimately it did not work and I am glad that finally the franchise was able to see that. Very few wanted Haynesworth in the burgundy and gold - not the players, coaches, fans, and not even Haynesworth.
Yes, it may have been a costly ordeal, but you live, learn, and let go from those ordeals. It was a mistake and Haynesworth should have never went to the Redskins. He was injured and sitting on the sidelines more times than he was in the game and refused to learn the new system. The Redskins lost an overpaid, overhyped, big-ole baby and gained trust for the coaches and a peace of mind.
"Football is Back"
While both sides seem to be happy with the compromise of the new 10-year collective bargaining agreement, to me it seems as though the players had a huge victory. A recent theme of football players wanting to get paid very well to do very little was evident. They get a huge salary cap and, in my opinion, can do very little during the offeason and even during the season. Their practices are limited for safety reasons. Only in America can one get paid well all year for a few months of work...but we do love our football and I am so glad it is back!

Brett Favre...smh!
Although I would like to say, “poor Brett!” I cannot because the fact is that you brought this all on yourself. It is your fault that you and the Minnesota Vikings had a miserable season. It is your fault that you did not know when to take a seat on the bench for the good of your team and for the better judgment towards your body. Yes, Brett, it is even your fault that you are now facing a mound of legal trouble. The Vikings did not perform they were supposed to, but not surprisingly, they were depending on you to pick up the slack. You failed to do that.
This week, news hit that Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre, is being sued by two former New York Jets’ massage therapists. Days after Favre announced his retirement for the umpteenth time. Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole are accusing the former Jets quarterback of sexual harassment during his time with the organization. The pair cites that because they objected Favre’s text messages which suggested a threesome, they lost their part-time job as massage therapists for the Jets.
Brett, your whole world is starting to fall apart around you. Just last week, the NFL fined you $50K for failing to cooperate in the (somewhat) open investigation into the photo scandal. Deadspin.com published very graphic photos and text messages that allegedly came from Favre to Jenn Sterger, a hostess working with the Jets around the same time.
I cannot help but to wonder (and so should you, Brett) what would have happened if you would have just stayed retired after leaving Green Bay? It does not appear at this time that you would have been sued. The NFL would not be investigating you and your poor body would be in much better shape. When I watched the Bears/Vikings game at the University of Minnesota after you hit your head on that frozen field and you gingerly walked off of the field and onto the bench, I could not help but to shake my head. You went from glory to shame and are a few steps away from straight out disgrace.
Truthfully, after all of your team switching and retired/not retired limbo you would have to admit that it is your fault. If I only stayed retired? Was it worth it, Brett? In all fairness, at the end of the day, you just might end up in the Hall of Fame without any snickering about your public disgrace. The miracles you performed on the field and famous game play and trickery just may overshadow any of this in the end. Or at least you better hope.
