Where has it ever been said that his feathers have been ruffled? It seems to me that the only ruffled feathers are found on all these drama queen fans who are out for blood.

He is fulfilling his commitments and he has said from the beginning that all he wants to be is the best. If him training with his personal trainer gets him there, then Godspeed, Big Al.

and why do you think I started off by saying "me personally?" I know the clubs agreed to the rules. Thats why I said "it's voluntary." I think what I'm seeing perhaps only out of the Skins is they would like to have their players at the facility all yr around unless they are on vacation. The problem is no one can make the players stay.

I'm kinda a rules guy. If the speed limit is 55 mph, you ask people to do 45 mph but legally they can do 55. Just like this situation, you can ask them to stick around but legally they don't have to.

I'm pointing out that I would like to see them be around more often especially since they make so much money, but no one can get mad cause technically they don't have to be here. I just don't understand all the "Hanesworth is problem" comments. He came last yr and did his job. He took on double teams for the season. Allowing others to get more sacks. Thats why we brought him in.

If the owners don't like the fact that the players don't want to be around for voluntary work outs then change the damn rules or have it put in their contracts.
