Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady

Well this makes sense. He has already won rings and is a baller, he feels the need to spend his time on family related issues.

I think that is acceptable.
Yeah and if Haynesworth had played on the Pats he'd have a ring too.. but he was stuck in Tennessee.

His children should come before anything else. Good for him. Obviously you posted this as a parallel to Haynesworth's stuff. I don't think there's much of a comparison. Haynesworth is a fat lazy loser who doesn't want to do offseason work with the team because he thinks he deserves to be traded. He's a malcontent jackoff IMO. Can't stand the guy.

AH will start getting the benefit of the doubt from me when he carries us to two Super Bowls like Brady.
I'm not so sure that's it man. He hasn't said it, only seems that people on message boards have speculated it. I'm sure he wouldn't mind being traded to somewhere like Minn, but before we even got the new regime he had his offseason plan mapped out.

I don't see Albert Haynesworth bailing on his pregnant girlfriend for some Brazilian supermodel
I was going to say this in reaction to the role model post from bha lol

Family is prioritized over the career everytime

AH is gonna have to prove hisself this year. Even tho its not a contract year for him, all this talk about off season workouts, minicamps and such, I think he HAS to have a good year, or face some dire consequences.

I am glad the era of overpaid players getting signed here for a huge payday and lackluster play is OVER. I wish AH the best, but he needs to produce given the $$ we gave him. This year is very important for him imho.

how is AH far from a cancer but roy williams (i assume the receiver) is.

Yeah roy has been sucking for the boys but all i've ever hear about him is that he is working hard to get better and figure things out. What has roy williams ever done the past 2 years to deserve a cancer label besides not living up to expectations in dallas?

yeah, the skins dont have any cancers or eliteists on our team. no skins players came out after this season talking about favortism and how it divided the locker room.

I cant wait to see Pacman jones fail. This guy is a dirtbag piece of shiza, and doesn't deserve the chances he has gotten repeatedly. I hope his ghetto ass gets served and goes bankrupt. POS.

It's optional, people need to get off Brady's nuts and let his baby mamas at it.

Family should always come before a job. The guy has his Lombardi, etc. so some slack can be given there as well. If AH had some family issues such as Brady, nobody would be making jack about him missing the minicamps. Well at least I wouldn't. The only real beef I have with him missing these voluntary camps is the fact that there is a new coach and regime in town with a new system. My analogy is akin to those classes in college where the professor held a study session a couple nights before for the big exam. It helped you get a heads up for the "big one". I think the minicamps serve the same purpose. IF AH has to play NG or has a role in a hybrid version, don't you think it would be in his best interest to check it out?

I guess people don't realize this whole thread was a bit of a joke. This reminds me of the April's Fool thread. LOL.

What is he getting away with? Saying that he wants to train on his own because he admits last season wasn't his best (yet he still was prob one of the best defensive player in a unit that wasn't coached that well)? Saying that he would be best suited to play DE and not NT in the 3-4, and that he'll play whatever the team tells him to do anyway?

Are you saying that AH's situation is worst than when Shawn Springs completely disappearing during the offseason a few seasons ago? Or the Miami players on this team training on their own because they felt like it?

Like I said, people need to get over the 100 mil stuff. Personally, I wish Haynesworth was training with the team, however, I don't think this is the worst thing that could be happening with the team.

You know what I think is worst than this? Changing to the 3-4 and creating a whole bunch of needs on team that didn't have many draft picks. But still, I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt.

I tend to agree with you on this.

Why would you sign the best DT in the league and then turn him into a NT?
