I'm sure if I were on a Giants board, the same thing would be discussed if Albert Haynesworth was being suspended (but he's not).

My point by this statement was that you defended your player and your team by bringing up what you thought was a similar situation that happened here with the Redskins. I don't remember the exact details of the Smoot situation, but I do remember that the Boat Scandal happened wayy before he re-signed with the Redskins; so it is not the exact situation. So I don't know what was your point in bringing this up other than to deflect the discussion.

You mentioned later on something along the lines that "this happens with every team in the NFL" and that we "shouldn't get on our high horses". Well, I don't know what else you would expect from a Redskins board. Like I said, I'm sure if Haynesworth were to be suspended, people in a Giants forum would be saying that the Redskins were stupid to bring in someone with a questionable past or that the Redskins fans are accepting this type of behavior.

I think you have some good posts on this site, but I'm always wondering why you tend to act surprised when someone says something negative about your team, since once again this is a Redskins forum.
