After watching Monday night’s ground gashing by the Chicago Bears, one would think that the Philadelphia Eagles would jump at the chance to add one of the best defensive tackles in the last decade. Sure enough, one came loose yesterday when the New England Patriots released Albert Haynesworth. But, Haynesworth was cut for a reason, [...]
File this under “somewhat shocking.” The New England Patriots win a lot of games because of their offense. Their defensive is just horrific, so one would assume that they can’t afford to be losing players. But, after cutting Leigh Bodden a week ago, they have let go of another veteran player. Albert Haynesworth. “BREAKING: The [...]
“It’s a good, aggressive plan,” Reid told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “When they say go, we’re ready to go.” That was what Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said on May 18th. He, along with other front office peeps, told the fans and the media that the Eagles had this aggressive plan for the offseason. That [...]
We’re all familiar with the Albert Haynesworth saga in Washington now, aren’t we? He signed a huge, $100 million contract (actually $41 million was guaranteed) two years ago with the Redskins. By the time Mike Shanahan came in the following year, they were running the 3-4 defense and Albert hated it. So then went the [...]
It was about a year ago that I sat in OTR’s very own, Micah Warren’s German luxury car (Volkswagen Jetta). We were headed to the range to hit some golf balls when I suggested an interesting, yet unlikely scenario. “The Eagles should make a move for Albert Haynesworth.” It was evident that this guy was [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles have become famous in town for getting oh-so close to winning it all, but failing every time. It’s tough to fault that logic, because it’s grounded in truth. It’s not to say that the Eagles haven’t tried, but for whatever reason it just hasn’t happened. During the lockout, the rhetoric coming from [...]
We mentioned back in February that a waitress at the W Hotel in Washington D.C. had accused Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth of sexual assault. It sounded a lot worse at first and then we found out he essentially fondled her boob while paying his tab. Still not appropriate at all, but you hear “sexual [...]
Oh boy. Either there are some opportunistic folks down in the Washington D.C. area trying to make a few bucks, or Albert Haynesworth’s behavior has taken a significant turn for the worse. About a week and a half ago, a man accused the Washington Redskins defensive tackle of getting out of his car and assaulting [...]
Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has had his share of incidents since entering the NFL in 2002. Chalk this one up to being the latest. According to the Washington Post, the 29-year old has been charged with simple assault regarding a road rage incident on the Fairfax County Parkway. A Redskins executive was surprised [...]
Is it really that far fetched to consider? According to Mark J. Miller of Yahoo Sports… the answer is yes. After the Tennessee Titans relieved Jeff Fisher of his head coaching duties last night, the NFL’s formerly most tenured coach is on the market. Would he have any interest in returning to Philadelphia to fill [...]
I’ve been saying this for months and getting considerable amounts of opposition. The Philadelphia Eagles need to take a serious look at Albert Haynesworth. Photo Caption: “Not according to my bank account, sukka!” We all know that Fat Albert aka ”Hey, Hey, Haynesworth” would come with some baggage and a few character concerns. C’mon… lets be [...]
We all know the situation with Albert Haynesworth in Washington. The Redskins gave him a ton of money despite numerous indications in the past that he was a turd. Then, when Albert acted turdish, the Redskins seemed shocked. He was sent home for the final four games of the season and it’s clear that his [...]
This is crazy. Kelli Johnson of Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Washingon Redskins will start Rex Grossman this week against the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Donovan McNabb has been benched and apparently it’s not a popular decision. “Just learned that Rex Grossman is starting over McNabb Sun in Dallas; I’m told Redskins Lockeroom is divided [...]
As if things couldn’t get uglier for Albert Haynesworth and the Washington Redskins. Now, the ‘Skins have suspended the big defensive tackle without pay for the final four games of the season for conduct detrimental to the team. “#Redskins have suspended DL Albert Haynesworth without pay for the team’s next four games for conduct detrimental [...]
The situation with Albert Haynesworth down in Washington DC continues to get better. Benched against the New York Giants, there was speculation from a local radio station that there was a good chance that Haynesworth gets cut this week. Several other media outlets reported that that wasn’t the case. But, it came out that Haynesworth [...]
We mentioned earlier that there were rumors of the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans working a trade for disgruntled lineman Albert Haynesworth. While that’s still possible, the team’s quarterback doesn’t think that shipping Haynesworth out of town is a good idea. In fact, Donovan McNabb says that the team can’t win without him. “Albert is [...]
The Washington Redskins are clearly not happy with their decision to sign Albert Haynesworth to a buttload of money in the 2009 offseason. Like many things the Redskins do, it was just stupid. And we all know by now all the BS that has been going on between Haynesworth and Shanahan. Well, that could all [...]
Despite the ongoing saga of Albert Haynesworth vs. Washington Redskins, it seems that Haynesworth will actually play on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, a source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post. There were previous rumors that he would be inactive. A separate source tells Reid that, while he doesn’t know if he will [...]
This would explain a lot. We mentioned before that Albert Haynesworth was having issues with the Washington Redskins and how they’ve been referring to his “headaches.” Well now, a league source tells Jason La Canfora of NFL Network that Haynesworth is likely suffering from a condition known as rhabdomyolysis, where muscle fibers get broken down [...]
Just when we thought all was fine in Redskinland, we have an incident. We all know about Albert Haynesworth skipping the offseason workouts for the Washington Redskins and him not wanting to play in the 3-4 and Shanahan failing him in conditioning tests and so on. But, Haynesworth seemed to be ok with the new [...]
It’s pretty well known that Washington Redskins defensive tackle/end Albert Haynesworth was not happy with the Redskins’ switch to the 3-4 defense. After a bunch of crying and whining from both sides, Albert finally showed up and decided to be a part of the team. But, could it possibly be that Haynesworth now likes the [...]
We can’t really blame Albert Haynesworth for this miss in Washington. Sure, it sounds stupid to say that because he is the knucklehead that’s caused so many problems since getting that ginormous contract last year. But, the Redskins should have known what they were getting. They should have seen enough evidence in the past that [...]
Mel Kiper described Ndamukong Suh as “maybe the most dominating defensive tackle I’ve seen in 32 years.” And now the Detroit Lions can celebrate. They have agreed to a five-year deal with their second-overall pick worth $60 million, $40 million guaranteed, according to Jay Glazer. Suh is expected to be a key part of the [...]
League sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Washington Redskins will go after some of the $21 million bonus that they recently paid to fat turd Albert Haynesworth. Haynesworth didn’t report to a mandatory minicamp that started on Wednesday and pretty much the whole building in DC is pissed off. One source tells Schefter that [...]
The Washington Redskins had to have a clue of what they were getting when they signed DT Albert Haynesworth. They gave him $41 million guaranteed last offseason while apparently not doing their homework on the type of person he was. This year, the Redskins have switched to a 3-4 and Haynesworth doesn’t like it. Despite [...]
