More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game

Rhabdomyolysis: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

Just googled rhabdomylosis. Hopefully AH did indeed just had a bought with this. If chronic, his kidneys are in for a tough time. They better have tons of gatorade for him. I think this might be a classic the boy who cried wolf type of situation. The guy made noise/ held out too much that was BS and now folks don't believe him when he is really sick. I wouldn't be surprised if he contracted it going nuts losing all that weight. Whatever the case, this drama needs to be put to rest.

This ass clown would have never made it in the old school football days. the NFL has definitely gotten soft and unfortunately the evolution of the game has breeded the Irvins, Keyshawns and TO's of the world. None of these so called "players" would have gotten away with their shenanigans on a team with say, a Jim Brown or Dick Butkus or John Riggins or Larry Czonka or Conrad Dobler to name a few. Haynesworth represents everything negative about professional sports accross the board. His sense of entitlement, imagined sense of persecution and subsequent media tirades are the direct result of an overpaid, self important, propped up baby. No ONE player is worth putting up with all the baggage he brings. Just another major blunder left over from the Cerrato years. It's a big shit sandwich and the Washington Redskins are gonna have to take a couple of big ole bites.

It's funny that you mentioned this about old school football, because I think that football as we know it will change drastically in the next couple of year, moving away from "old school football". Given all these issues with concussions, players' health after football, etc., etc. it seems that football will change. I didn't know about the whole rule about the play blown dead if a player's helmet comes off. Sorry for going on a tangent.

The same guy who sat the 1980 season. He is the original diva. Hell listen to his rants now days.

Yeah there's always a lot of revisionist history when we talk about the "good old days"

Don't go comparing Fat Albert to Riggo. Late in Riggins' career when his back was shot, he'd spend the early part of the week in traction, but he answered the bell on Sundays and ALWAYS played hard. Haynesworth CLEARLY takes plays off, and has done so his entire career. I can't think of a more talented D-lineman that has produced so little aside from the two seasons leading up to his free agency.

Yeah, that was my point. I certainly haven't forgotten Riggins sitting out the '80 season but the difference is: he sat out the season. there was really little drama involved. When he DID suit up, though, he played with a ferocity and had more guts than any Redskin player I can remember. He was the only non-lineman HOG. says something. I don't give a rat's ass what he rants about now. He's a guy trying to get ratings. My point is that players like AH couldn't have hacked it in the old days and in the old days the game was a lot more fun to watch. not living in the past, I'm just waxing..

AH has showed up and he isn't sitting out this season. AH isn't at the end of his career so we cant assume how will handle a true injury like that. I cant say he takes off plays. Does he flop around on the ground? Yes. Is he selfish? Yes, but he is a beast on the field and he makes teams adjust for him. If just him being unconditioned last season means he took plays off then that goes to a piss poor run orginazation last year.

We dont know the truth of his illness but if he really does have what's being reported then how cant you compare them. They are the same type of people just diffrent times.

Can't put 100% of the blame to AH. Why do I say something like that? Our culture is all about me me me and celebrity to the nth degree. THese guys thrive on it, some more than what they do on the field. Also, the old protestant work ethic is for the most part killed off. The owners and the different pro sports leagues love this crap though( drama addicts), even if they seem to hate it publicly. It generates hype, and increases ticket sales, so this stuff is going to be part of the game for some time. In fact the hype is bigger than the game anymore, which is sad. Look at the SB anymore. Two full weeks of total BS hype and worthless stories for the most part, just to promote a game that is usually slow moving and marred with yellow flags so that the NFL and the bookies get the desired result.

THANK YOU. Doubt those old legends would be defending him, and saying, "Oh but he's a tough guy who stands up for his teammates." What a freaking joke.
