"Crossthreading" is taking something from one thread on a discussion board and inserting it into a different thread on that discussion board.
Here the "crossthreading" is the lawsuit by Danny Boy against City Paper and inserting it here as a means by which Danny Boy can get Phat Al to play hard for the Skins. If you don't like "crossthreading" call it a "lame attempt at humor".

Indeed Haynesworth did take an anger management course back then. I don't know that it is that the course failed him or that he failed the course. Haynesworth has a long history of anger management "issues" and the idea that a single course of a couple weeks' duration can provide a lifetime immunity from any longstanding psychological "issue" is "wildly optimistic".
The course seemed to work for him for a while. Now it appears to be something that has receded into his dim memory instead of being "front and center" in his mind.
