He'll show up. Haynesworth is not a dummy, he won't give them any reason to fine him. If for any reason he dosen't show-up for mandatory, they'll really have something to talk about then.

yeah...i'm sure Brady really needs to put more time in at QB...not sure if he has that position on LOCK yet. Could see a sleeper come up and take his position...

[quote=Longtimefan;699884]You're absolutely correct, the problem is you probably won't make much head-way with the haters.[/quote]

I know that I won't. Their opinion is their opinion, I don't agree with it at all because i think a lot of this is taken too seriously at times. It would be nice for him to be there, but I can't get upset because it's not mandatory. We all know about voluntary actually equalling mandatory but I mean if you can take the time off, take it off. Like I said, once the Cowboys show up as long as he's the monster that none of those back ups that talk shit can be, I'm fine.

Burress isn't eligible for parole before 20 months

how is AH far from a cancer but roy williams (i assume the receiver) is.

Yeah roy has been sucking for the boys but all i've ever hear about him is that he is working hard to get better and figure things out. What has roy williams ever done the past 2 years to deserve a cancer label besides not living up to expectations in dallas?

yeah, the skins dont have any cancers or eliteists on our team. no skins players came out after this season talking about favortism and how it divided the locker room.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

yeah too bad we dont have Brady and three superbowls in the last decade...

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

[quote=hooskins;699781]Well this makes sense. He has already won rings and is a baller, he feels the need to spend his time on family related issues.

I think that is acceptable.[/quote]
Yeah and if Haynesworth had played on the Pats he'd have a ring too.. but he was stuck in Tennessee.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

[quote=GMScud;699787]His children should come before anything else. Good for him. Obviously you posted this as a parallel to Haynesworth's stuff. I don't think there's much of a comparison. Haynesworth is a fat lazy loser who doesn't want to do offseason work with the team because he thinks he deserves to be traded. He's a malcontent jackoff IMO. Can't stand the guy.

AH will start getting the benefit of the doubt from me when he carries us to two Super Bowls like Brady.[/quote]
I'm not so sure that's it man. He hasn't said it, only seems that people on message boards have speculated it. I'm sure he wouldn't mind being traded to somewhere like Minn, but before we even got the new regime he had his offseason plan mapped out.

Family is prioritized over the career everytime

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

AH is gonna have to prove hisself this year. Even tho its not a contract year for him, all this talk about off season workouts, minicamps and such, I think he HAS to have a good year, or face some dire consequences.

I am glad the era of overpaid players getting signed here for a huge payday and lackluster play is OVER. I wish AH the best, but he needs to produce given the $$ we gave him. This year is very important for him imho.

I cant wait to see Pacman jones fail. This guy is a dirtbag piece of shiza, and doesn't deserve the chances he has gotten repeatedly. I hope his ghetto ass gets served and goes bankrupt. POS.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

It's optional, people need to get off Brady's nuts and let his baby mamas at it.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

Family should always come before a job. The guy has his Lombardi, etc. so some slack can be given there as well. If AH had some family issues such as Brady, nobody would be making jack about him missing the minicamps. Well at least I wouldn't. The only real beef I have with him missing these voluntary camps is the fact that there is a new coach and regime in town with a new system. My analogy is akin to those classes in college where the professor held a study session a couple nights before for the big exam. It helped you get a heads up for the "big one". I think the minicamps serve the same purpose. IF AH has to play NG or has a role in a hybrid version, don't you think it would be in his best interest to check it out?

I guess people don't realize this whole thread was a bit of a joke. This reminds me of the April's Fool thread. LOL.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

[quote=Ruhskins;699792]What is he getting away with? Saying that he wants to train on his own because he admits last season wasn't his best (yet he still was prob one of the best defensive player in a unit that wasn't coached that well)? Saying that he would be best suited to play DE and not NT in the 3-4, and that he'll play whatever the team tells him to do anyway?

Are you saying that AH's situation is worst than when Shawn Springs completely disappearing during the offseason a few seasons ago? Or the Miami players on this team training on their own because they felt like it?

Like I said, people need to get over the 100 mil stuff. Personally, I wish Haynesworth was training with the team, however, I don't think this is the worst thing that could be happening with the team.

You know what I think is worst than this? Changing to the 3-4 and creating a whole bunch of needs on team that didn't have many draft picks. But still, I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt.[/quote]

I tend to agree with you on this.

Why would you sign the best DT in the league and then turn him into a NT?

It was also meant to show that every team has players who miss these voluntary workouts. Its not worth dramatic action by the team and FO. Dramatic over-reaction by fans of course is expected.

3rd degree burn.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

Excusing Brady's absence because he has a ring and thus deserves to spend more time with his family necessarily implies that those do not have a ring should spend more time on football and less on their family.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

No Redskins fan can criticize Brady. When we played him last he dropped 52 on us. You can hate all you want, he has won 3 Super Bowls since we have won anything worth a damn.

To say he should be cut is pretty foolish.

Re: Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady
 

No one here actually thinks he should be cut

[B]Brady: Patriots Weren't "Mentally Tough" in 2009
[/B]
May 12, 1:57 PM (ET)

BOSTON (AP) -Tom Brady said Wednesday the New England Patriots lacked confidence and mental toughness last season.
In a radio interview on WEEI in Boston, the quarterback also said the team didn't respond well to adversity.

"When the going got tough, we didn't get going. We weren't really a mentally tough team last year," he said.

The Patriots were 10-6, then lost 33-14 to the Baltimore Ravens at home in the first round of the playoffs as Brady threw four interceptions. New England had won three Super Bowls in the previous eight seasons with Brady but then lost team leaders Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison to retirement and Mike Vrabel and Richard Seymour in trades.

The Patriots lost four games last year in which they led at halftime and were 2-6 on the road.

"Games that we lose in the fourth quarter, games that we lose in the second half, or losing on the road like we did, that can be lack of trust, lack of confidence," Brady said. "There are a lot of issues you have when that repeats itself time and time again over the course of the season."

Brady said he hopes the players coach Bill Belichick obtained during the offseason can make the team more mentally tough.

"Coach always used the words 'mentally tough' to us. I always agree with him," he said. "I think that's been a big point of emphasis this offseason. Hopefully, we find ways to address it with each other and also with coach bringing in different players and to see if they can bring a little bit of that to our team."

Sure, he's missing the invaluable offseason training to be with his [I]family[/I], but then trashing his own team... For someone that threw 4 interceptions to lose the playoff game last year - he's not endearing himself to his teammates...
