[quote=Chico23231;723382]Nice, but I find the depiction of Albert to be way off. First need the moon size diamond bling hanging from his ears and then cameltoe would be appropriate to show his vagina.[/quote]

LOL. Hilarious.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;723130]Well, to be fair, Shanahan came out Sunday and drew the line in the sand, no practice = no play. I don't see how anyone looks at MS and sees him not doing anything. If anything, I think you see AH's whining as proof that MS is not giving in to an impetuous player. The 2 main questions are, at what point does the shape up or ship out message sink in to AH? and if it doesn't can we get any compensation at all for him?[/quote]

I'm curious as to exactly how that no practice no play mandate is going to play out over the course of the season. Key players are going to get nicked and maybe unable to practice much, if at all, during the course of the week. Does that mean they don't play on Sunday should they be able to go by weeks end? If that be the case, we're going to be presented with some very unpredictable line-up's as the season progresses.

Re: More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game
 

I think the jist is that if you keep on making excuses when it comes to practice, but you are suddenly fine on game day, you will have a limited Sunday experience. If the complaint is valid, I am sure the trainers will be on top of that, and let the top brass know the situations.

At least thats how i took it. Shanahan is against overworking his veterans anyway, at least thats what I have heard this preseason. I think this is a non issue for the majority, if not for the rest of the team outside of Haynesworth.

From what I've seen with Shanahan in the past, at least with regard to his running backs, if they practice on Friday then they'll play on Sunday.

I think the media and the fans have be come obsessed with the guy. AH drama is getting old.

I really don't know what Shanahan's practice has been in the past regarding practicing vs. playing. I do know that saying if a player dosen't practice he dosen't play is a broad and blanket statement. Curious as to how it would/could be applicable to the r/b's exclusively. I would want to think a statement like that would apply throughout the team. I'll be watching to see how the doctrine is applied as the season moves forward.

Keep hearing TB is a good spot for AH but not for Clayton

More details on a possible Haynesworth-Tampa trade
[quote]Haynesworth trade buzz
11:56
AM ET
Albert Haynesworth | Redskins | Interested: Buccaneers?
TopEmail

While the Albert Haynesworth-Mike Shanahan feud continues to percolate, a bold new idea has come to the forefront from the AM airwaves.

Specifically, veteran Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat writer Roy Cummings said on the Miller and Moulton Show on 770 AM in Fort Myers, Fla. (hat-tip to Joe Bucs Fan) that the Bucs could make a play for No. 92. Even more noteworthy is that Michael Clayton -- rumored to be on his way out anyways -- could be involved in this trade, owing to the fact that the Washington Redskins have a need at WR, and Clayton was drafted by current 'Skins GM Bruce Allen.

The hosts opened the conversation on Haynesworth with a disclosure that he wanted to play defensive end for a team that uses a four-man front, a fact that has seemingly evaded us to this point, since we've only heard that Haynesworth wants to play DT in such a setup. The need at DE is much stronger for the Bucs, who used their top two draft picks on DTs this April. Even so, Haynesworth provides an upgrade for most teams at DT, Tampa Bay included, and the Bucs were amongst those rumored to be interested prior to his signing with the Redskins last offseason.

All that said, we're not sure the Redskins are so willing to give up on Haynesworth just yet -- or give in to his demands, as the case may be -- so this one has to be considered unlikely for now.[/quote]

Ok, so the AH topic is worn down and out, but for a new spin, after Cerrato was on Sirius defending the signing, Rich Campbell just tweeted:

Sherman Smith: "Do I think Albert is a bad guy? Absolutely not. Do I think [he] can be disruptive? Yes." 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Rich Campbell

I spoke to Sherman Smith this afternoon about Cerrato's radio comments. He said he told the Redskins about Albert: "Buyer beware." ... 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Re: More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game
 

Sherman Smith had pretty much nothing but good things to say about Haynesworth when the Skins were looking to pursue him. Maybe he did say "buyer beware" but he also said Al was a completely changed man after the Gurode incident and he (Smith) never had any problems with him (Haynesworth)

Re: More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game
 

So unless AH opens his big trap, isn't this situation mum for now?

Fletch talked to AH and says things are ok. MS talked to AH and well didn't say anything, but isn't AH back and practicing?

AH just needs to stay away from reporters for this to either go away or getting him in good graces to get traded.

Yeah, I'll bet it does apply to the whole team. The only reason I say, "with regard to his running backs," is because I've followed running back injuries through the years (and as a consequence, Shanahan's policy on it), but not so much for other positions.

If we traded him for a sack of dog turds, i'd feel like we won the lottery when the dog turds arrived.
