Skins would have been a better team without him last year too. I never advocated keeping Haynesworth here; I even said when they signed him that he had a lot of "reputation" to live down.

With regard to the current managment of the Skins:

Give them an A+ for ditching this guy as soon as the lockout ended - - and for getting something more than a bag full of kicking tees in return.

Give them an F for not ditching him last year sometime along the way when it was obvious that he was not going to play hard for them (perhaps after that Eagles' game when he flopped around on the field for about 10 seconds like a beached whale).
