Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

[GTripp0012]

I can and will ignore the reports, so long as they are without any substance. When there is actually evidence uncovered of a rift between player and organization, I will give the problem it's due. Until then, it's not going to be a story just because NFL Total Access can lead with it, and Jason Reid can make every third post Haynesworth-related, and Matt Mosley can remind you that having Haynesworth probably cost the Redskins about three wins last year.

I'm not sure what Chad Speck can do to make this less of a story. There's no substance here. There are no facts to issue a denial on. He actually wasn't at the voluntary mini-camp. Conclusions drawn from that by over-zealous reporters really can't be controlled by the agent, I don't think.

I think he was always planning on being at the mandatory mini-camp that's upcoming, so if he misses that, well then this story has some legs. He won't miss it though. Haynesworth could have taken preventative measures against this, but how was he to know that Brett Favre would basically stay out of the limelight for four months? That's just unfair to pin on him.
