Redskins win by losing Haynesworth

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!
