From NFL.com: "Haynesworth, a former Tennessee Titan who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Redskins last month, was released after surrendering Wednesday. Maximum punishment is six months in jail and a $500 fine on the reckless-driving charge and 30 days and a $50 fine for the other charge."

If he could funnel all of his rage to playing within the rules on Sundays, look out.

I would expect this gets resolved without affecting his playing time. No one was happier to see him receive $42 million guaranteed than the accident victim...

On a moral level, its careless behavior. but on a legal level, these charges are nothing. Sure, the MAXIMUM punishment here is up to 7 months in jail, but Haynesworth wont see any of that. At worst, he'll have to do some community service, but he's not going to jail and I would be shocked if Goddell even bothered to suspend Haynesworth for any games.

Which they'll turn into a United Way commercial.

Exactly. Someone call Jackie Childs. Or Lionel Hutz. "The Driver of the other car was who now...?"

I never get this lucky. If a millionaire ever hits me with his car, I'll be killed and my stupid family will get all the money.

They are kidding right? After a year of Pacman and 2 years of Tank Johnson, trust me, I have seen worse.

The story doesn't say that he ran into the other car, just tried to pass him and the guy hit the concrete divide? Worse thing that happens is that he gets his license suspended for 6 months maybe a year, and he has to go to traffic school. I just got popped with a 70/45 a year ago, and I have a history of speeding. I had to go to Agressive driving classes (200 bucks), and pay a fine of 150.00. After that was done they dropped it to a 54/45.
He won't see any jail time, unless the judge wants to set an example of him. Also, he can expect to pay the other driver a LOT of money when he sues him.

I like his first violation. 103 in a 70 LOL.

hey, how are you feeling about ridding the cowboys of 3 of the locker room cancers( Jones, Owens, and Johnson)?

gibbsisgod · 03-13-2009, 06:42 AM

This is nuts. From my point of viiew AH did every thing right. He never came in contact with the other car, stayed at the scene and was NOT cited by the officers at the time of the accident. Now here it is almost 4 months later and he is being charged with 2 misdemeanor driving offenses. I wasn't there but this whole situation seems fishy to me.

I'll bet the charges get dropped. In fact, i'm so sure i'll bet a sig on it.....any takers?

Yea, I guess that was kind of a dumb question. Just seems like Goodell likes to suspend guys these days and with the threat of jail time (highly unlikely) and Haynesworth's past behavior I figured he'd be anxious to drop a suspension here.

HAIL!
