Re: Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly
 

[quote=Longtimefan;700515]It was that article being discussed among several of the people that attend home games with me, and prompted me to post what I did a little while ago.

We'd like to see Albert refute some of the things being said that are not true. There's an old saying 'silence gives consent" if he never says anything, he leaves people with the impression that what they're saying is true.[/quote]

And if he addresses it he gives credence to what's been said. It's a no win, sometimes it's just better to not say anything.

[quote=Lotus;700503]My guess is that AH has not "cleared the air" because he doesn't give a flying fork about what you, I, or talking heads on NFLN think. Nor should he. We're the ones who are making mountains out of molehills.[/quote]

I don't want to speculate on his motives, but I wouldn't go as far to say he dosen't care. He does care, and there still may come a time before this is all said and done that he will take the time to clear the air.

Contrary to some opinions, Haynesworth has many supporters here in the Washington area, not so much among the fair-weather crowd, but the longtime fans here have always had a way of supporting their players. He'll always have his detractors, but for the most part fans here want to see him be a success story.

how would AH saying, "those rumors are completely false. I'm happy to be here and excited about 2010..." give credence to whats been said? to the contrary, it would make the ones publishing the rumors look like morons and make them think twice before using reporting something similar again.

i don't know anyone that doesn't WANT to see Haynesworth, along with every other redskin, succeed while they are on the team. The "detractors" are just upset that not only does he not appear to want to do everything it takes to be successful here, but some of his actions/inactions/comments border on insubordination. We "detractors" are loyal to the team, not the player. If the player appears to be rebelling against the team, we're not going to ignore it or pretend everything is rosey.

From SmootSmack's article:
[quote][B]That’s what I’m going after, being the best defensive tackle in the NFL.”[/B]

...
[B] Haynesworth shared his thoughts on his new coach and how he believes he is in for a very exciting time.

“I think it’s going to be exciting. He’s a very experienced coach, he knows how to win and he knows how to build a team. I’m excited about it. I’m glad he’s our coach. He was definitely the best one out there. I’m just ready to get back to work and see what he brings to the table.”[/B]

...
“[B]At first I was a little iffy to it because I’ve never played in the 3-4. [/B]I don’t have a clue to how it’s really played. But then I talked to him a little bit and he plans on just playing me in the middle a little bit and at end. I guess I’ll just move around and just wreak havoc;[B] so as long as we’re doing that and I’m not just at one position, I’m fine, I’m fine with it.[/B]”
[/quote]

So on April 9th it was reported that he said nearly exactly what you wanted to hear. So will you support him now?

Re: Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly
 

See Cooley agrees with me. I think he even tried to slide in Firstdown but the writer edited that part

Not at all. A LOT has happened since then, the vast majority of which including his actions (and lack thereof) flatly contradicts those that one would expect from someone who was truly and genuinely "excited" about playing NT and DE in the 3-4. If Haynesworth made those same comments now, after showing up for minicamp, after supporting his teammates and coaches,THEN I would support him. If/When he actually shows up, i will support him. If/When he plays for the redskins in 2010, plays his guts out and does everything he's asked, I will support him. But i'm not going to "support" him as he alienates himself from his coaches and teammates.

Re: Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly
 

A lot has happened since then?

He's skipped voluntary camps, as expected.

The only thing that's happened is the media has blown this back up into a story again.

somewhere else in this thread, i actually outlined a number of things that have happened (or were rumored to have happened). i don't feel like rehashing it again. this is gotten old for me so i'm going to leave it where it is for now:

I strongly disaprove of Haynesworth's actions/inactions and feel that, after receiving over 20MM from the team, he should live up to what he claimed he would do and do what's being asked of him. some of you don't care. others apparently love what haynesworth is doing and wish none of our players showed up for volunatry activities. does that about sum it up?

Hey, I just think it's funny. I said it wouldn't make a difference if he gave a statement, because those who think he is wrong won't accept it at face value. You said it would be different if he came out and said xyz. We showed you that he actually did say xyz. You say well yeah but that doesn't count because of things he was rumored to do. Which is why I said he shouldn't bother make any more statements in the first place

Since April 9, there have been major floods in Tennessee, the Oompa Loompas have signed a peace treaty with the Munchkins, Gordon Brown has resigned, DynamiteRave dumped 12thMan (he'll tell you it was mutual), and Holy Cross named Morocco Brown's brother their men's basketball head coach

I can't find a link of the rumored peace treaty, [URL="http://www.subbrilliant.com/9810subarc.html"]but here is the start of the 12 year war[/URL]:
[quote]EMERALD CITY 19-OCT-1998 (SBN) - (Emerald City, Oz) After years of border skirmishes and Munchkin persecution, war finally erupted between the Republic of Oz and neighboring Loompa-Land.

In a brilliantly coordinated attack, armored Oompa-Loompa cavalry riding atop domesticated Vernicious Knids attacked Oz border outposts, overwhelming distracted Munchkin Storm Troopers who were celebrating the Ruby Red Slipper Festival. At precisely the same time, 4 squadrons of Kamikaze hot air balloons clashed with Ozzie Flying MilitiaMonkeys in the sunny skies above Emerald City. But without The Wicked Witch Of The West to lead them, the MilitiaMonkeys were slaughtered like opposable thumbed gnats, leaving the Capital City of Oz defenseless.

The Triumvirate Government of Oz escaped the seige, and were immediately granted asylum at Universal Studios, Hollywood. Said Ozzie spokesman, The Scarecrow, "This vicious attack on Munchkin Nationals was unprovoked and unreasonable. No one with a brain can condone such aggression." The Tin Man and The Lion could not be reached for comment. Hopes for a last minute intervention by Glenda, The Good Witch Of The North, were dashed when it was learned that she had been detained by US Custom's Officials after vacationing in Salem, Massachusetts.

Oompa-Loompas, with their population and territory diminished by predation from carnivorous Hornswagglers, were recently denied by Oz the raw materials needed to manufacture Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop, a pacifying soft drink concoction they developed an addiction to while enslaved by an evil Swiss chocolate magnate in the 1970's. Withdrawals from the mysterious brew have seemingly transformed the amiable Oompa-Loompas into a paranoid race of tempestuous sociopaths.

Loompa-Land, whose primary export is Snozberries, is a DisneyWorld enclave embraced between the borders of Oz, Israel, the Palestine West Bank, and the Dutchy Of Fenwick. It has been a country in confusion since the devaluation of the Wangdoodle and the subsequent purchase of their entire nation by the Disney Corporation in 1989. In 1990, Loompa-Land religious leaders declared Donald Eisner, Disney CEO, the Anti-Christ.

After news of the invasion reached Wall Street, NASDAQ Averages plummeted, with Disney stock curiously showing a 6 point gain by the closing bell. Some critics are claiming that the hostilities are merely a publicity stunt, staged to garner interest in a prospective movie sequel or two.

But the United States issued a strong condemnation of the assault. Said US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to a Harliquin Romance frenzied mob assembled outside of Presidential Impeachment Hearings, "It really wasn't very neighborly. Those people should all grow up."

CNN will be covering the invasion live from Emerald City, beginning at 9am EST tomorrow.

AH needs to just diffuse the situation by being honest about his apprehension about going to the 3-4 and just leave it at that. Nobody is going to really bite on a trade for AH with that ungodly salary, so he should just play it out. Who knows, maybe he can thrive in the 3-4!!!
