Haynesworth to the Patriots for a 5th rounder.

I guess then what sets them apart is that some do it more effectively than others.

Because, you know. Mike wasn't.

I'm kind of annoyed at Belichick, to be honest. Switching back to a 4-3 defense. I think if Mike knew that he wouldn't have traded there. He got traded to a 3-4 team for a reason. Haynesworth hasn't been practicing, but if he has anything close to a decent season we're going to hear about Bill's Patriot way.

Albert finally gets what he wants---a 4-3 team, and a coach who will probably let him do whatever he wants. Friggin' annoying.

That's one thing you cannot say about Belichick.

something to keep an eye on here.
Atlanta DT Korey Peters could be lost for the season after getting carted off the field today.

If this is the case, and being that this rumor has come up about AH possibly being cut, and the fact the patriots gave up a 5th rounder not even this year for him, don't be surprised if Atlanta's GM Tomas Demitroff(?) who was the former office man of the pats has BB trade him to the falcons for a 4th rounder..

just a speculation and possibility.


(this could also happen with Philly)

Peters is only going to miss a few weeks, not the whole season

Oh, nevermind, I thought I heard it was serious, like torn ACL serious

And that's why the whole "well Bruce Allen is almost a cap/contract guy" stuff is bunk, because even if it's true, what exactly is wrong with a guy who could do those kind of things?

[over the mountain]

that 21 mil check in april was guaranteed in the contract he signed with vinny at the helm, bruce had no way of making that 21 mil not guaranteed or not payable ... the skins had to pay him that money no matter what.

Mike met with AH right before that 21 mil was due and told AH that the skins would out right release him (so he could go to a 4-3 team) if he waived the 21 mil but if he accepted the 21 mil that Mike expected AH to report to camp and due whatever the skins asked him to do, including his joke about playing safety.

AH accpeted the money, the rest is history . . .

Now AH restructered his contract to make approx 1.5 mil this year and he isnt in camp. You know what I think . .he wants a new contract that wil pay him 8 plus mil a season. I guessin AH is waiting for the pats roster to be finalized before he and the pats talk about how much room they have to pay him in a new contract.

Is this reason he's not practicing?

And with that $21M bonus, he was basically untradeable until it was paid. It was a bad contract to begin with.

A representative of hers.

I don't believe that guy for shit.

Davis also said in the affidavit that he was approached at work in April by the hotel waitress and by a man in a suit who she introduced as her attorney.

Again, why would they be offering 50K for testimony in a criminal trial? Her lawyer would be District Attorney in this matter. This isn't a civil case. If anything, the guy is being paid by Haynesworth's camp to make up some bullshit.

It reportedly wasn't her lawyer and tell me that you're not naive enough to believe that she wouldn't plan on this going to civil court and having hired her own council

This case is beginning to take on an all too familiar flavor. The question now becomes.....why would a witness be offered 50K for testimony to an incident he supposedly both saw as well as heard if not for the purpose of altering in some way what he originally testified too?
