Cooley Drops Bomb on Haynesworth

[FRPLG]

I don't seem to remember too may people decrying the move when we made it. I sorta remember everyone being pretty stoked. AH was known for being an asshat on the field. Not necessarily for being the "awful person" in general that CC describes.

Well he's had plenty of off the field incidents as well to support the awful person theory.

You mean you're not supposed to feel up random waitresses? Dang, that's what I've been doing wrong.

I meant before we signed him. There were certainly concerns but most of the worst stuff hadn't happened yet. Point is at the time most fans were excited.

His draft stock dropped because of character issues.
He was known for letting loose on teammates. (i.e. he kicked his teammate in the chest)
He stomped on a dude's head.
Haynesworth caused a dude to be partially paralyzed cuz he was driving over 100mph (okay, this one can be let go, because we have/had murderers play in the NFL)
He felt up some lady (post-Redskins era)
He punched some dude, out of road rage. (post-Redskins era)

But the thing is that the awful person mentality had been there. This dude was screaming red flags.
