We talkin' 'bout practice man? Practice?

 

[Jack-Reacher]

You know I really hate the Commanders, it started back when I had an idiot Commander neighbor back in the 80's and it has been magnified 100 times since my first foray into the fantasy land they call extremeskins. Short of a player getting hurt I couldn't imagine a scenario that I would ever feel empathy for a Commander fan, but then this happens.

We all laughed at his contract, he was way overpaid with far too many personality issues and I thought it was great that they overpaid for him. This however is pretty sad even for the lowly Commanders. His past, and now this behavior has dropped his trade value to nothing. I cannot imagine a team that would consider taking a risk with his attitude, lazy work ethic and overall character flaws. What a moron, he will carry this label with him the rest of his probably shortened career.

Since this is an uncapped year, can the Commanders release him and eat the contract without affecting a future cap? I am certain they would try to recover the bonus he received, but can they dump him and walk away?

At least Santana Moss is at the requisite height to catch McNabb's sliders.

:laugh2:

Despite what a train wreck the skins are, they always seem to give us a hard time. Like it or not it is the NFL and everyweek you have to show up.

I cringe whenever I think of games in recent years that we should have won against them.

Commanders teammates begin to tee off on Haynesworth
Posted by Mike Florio on June 15, 2010 10:57 PM ET
Though they've yet to go on the record, at least two of Commanders defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth's teammates have begun the process of making their feelings known regarding Haynesworth's decision not to show up for a mandatory minicamp, which comes on the heels of an offseason of decisions by Haynesworth not to show up for work.

As one player told Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan in D.C., "[Haynesworth] loves money and not football. He is a great actor. Actors get paid a lot of money."

Another teammate was more concise, simply calling Haynesworth an "*******."

We suspect that it'll only get more interesting once the players show up for the minicamp that opens tomorrow.

Albert Haynesworth proves his worthlessness
Posted by Mike Florio on June 15, 2010 10:00 PM ET
We've criticized defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth the man many times since he decided to try to shred the skin off Andre Gurode's forehead like so much cheddar cheese. Haynesworth simply is not a good person, in our opinion, and he reminds us of that from time to time.

Most recently, his decision not to report for a mandatory minicamp barely 15 months after the Commanders gave him a contract with $41 million guaranteed and barely two months after they cut him a check for $20 million demonstrates conclusively that, yes, the man is a turd.

This isn't about trying to get a newer, bigger contract. Haynesworth got one of the biggest contracts ever given to a defensive player, and now he doesn't want to earn the money he already has received.

The Commanders can't claim they didn't know what they were getting. After his 2006 incident with Gurode, which resulted in a five-game suspension, Haynesworth tried too damn hard to convince people that he had changed. Then, he put the pedal to the metal in 2007 and 2008 through a contract year and a franchise-tag season, playing like a madman in the hopes of scoring a huge contract as a free agent.

Now, Haynesworth has decided that he wants to join a new team, after cramming more than $30 million of Daniel Snyder's money into his pockets. Hopefully, no one will offer the Commanders so much as a conditional seventh-rounder for the guy. And anyone who does deserves what they get.

Even more hopefully, the Commanders will hold Haynesworth's feet to the fire, fining him and suspending him and doing everything within their power to force him to behave. Though they'll ultimately be unable to collect many of the millions they've given him, they need to make a point to current and future players in the hopes of saving millions more down the road.

For now, the Commanders can fine him roughly $10,000 for skipping the minicamp. If he stays out when training camp rolls around, the number increases to more than $16,000 per day.

They also likely will be able to pursue a portion of his signing bonus. But since he received only $5 million in a traditional signing bonus, what he'd have to repay pales in comparison to what he's already received. (We're in the process of confirming that the signing bonus repayment obligation applies not only to training-camp holdouts but also where the player skips a mandatory minicamp.)

All that said, it's impossible for us to feel too badly for the Commanders, given that they apparently tampered with Haynesworth before he officially became a free agent -- and because anyone with an ounce of common sense knew or should have known that Haynesworth is a sack of headaches waiting to happen.

No kidding. Who calls someone a turd in an article?

I have to admit this is pretty funny and surprising since it came from you.

Backhand compliment...check.

 

[Smith22]

Some people play for fame, some play for the money, and some play to be the best, for the love of the game. Take a wild guess which category fat boy is in.

Chris Cooley and Fred Davis are the best TE tandem in the NFL!

[WoodysGirl]

Florio has always referred to bad actors as turds.

Also from what I understand, that's how people around the league refer to them, as well.

The question I have for you, was he wrong in calling Haynesworth a turd?

 

[Alexander]

but...but...but Shannahan is going to instill discipline and make everything do smooth and stuff ...Right? ...right?

Eventually, he will. He cannot help he inherited Snyder's idiotic decision.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

My knees are shaking. McNabb has the coolest dance and the best hair of any QB I've ever witnessed.
