Nowadays players tweet, text, blog and everything in between; sometimes during the game. So managing the press is very much a part of how well you prepare, ward off distractions, and focus for an upcoming game.
For all the excitement the new Shanahan/Allen era was supposed to generate for the franchise, it has been completely drained by The Haynesworth reality show: He loves me, He loves me not.
Another thing, and this isn't directed at you, but I keep hearing we need to get something of value for Haynesworth. What a joke! At this point if the Titans give up any picks and player for Fat Al, it would be the steal of the century.

For all of us it may be a soap opera. But the coaches aren't consumed by this like we are. And sorry but we're not talking about Phillip Daniels here. He has some value and I don't have a problem with the FO trying to get something. Whether it's Britt or a draft pick they need to get something for their financial investment.
