I don't have Dan Snyder's address at my fingertips, but when it happens hit him up.

Do you think cleaning up Vinny's mess would come cheap?

I'm not sure that having AH underperform or sit on the bench results in the Skins getting their money worth.

The only way that the team can get their money's worth is to have AH play at an All-Pro level, which to this point he has refused to do.

Sometimes cutting losses is the smart strategy.

This isn't the day of Vince Lombardi where you can shut the cameras out of the locker room and give some Knute Rockne speech and fire the boys up. 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.

Being consumed with something and being distracted are two different things. Everytime the Redskins coaching staff spends a moment talking about Haynesworth, everytime a player is asked what he thinks about it all is a distraction in my opinion.

But the larger point here is that the excitement that was buidling following Shanahan and Allen joining the organization has largely been muted by the Haynesworth drama. The fan base's expectation has been a mixed bag. Now we're in wait in see mode.

I will say, however, that a London Fletcher fumble recovery early in the Dallas game will go a long way to erase the negative press and feelings around all of this. A lost to Dallas on the other hand, might have the reverse effect and keep the rumor mill churning for another week or two. Provided that Haynesworth is still on the roster.

Albert presents a most curious dilema for this team. We want him, but we don't want him. We want him because his presence on the field makes those around him better, [thus he represents value] We dont want him because of so many reasons it will take too long to say. Question for the organization: which way is it going to be?

We are not going to give him away.

I'm going to have to agree with you here. The media has a lot to do with this. Inside Redskin Park it's really not a huge deal.

I hear ya mredskins.. I agree that we get ahead of ourselves at times. As far as AH goes, I'm about to burn his jersey if he's here or not. Tired of this BS

I'm also sick of the team for mishandling this situation and wait until now to do something about it. Why insist on making something work out when it is not? We could be focusing on Dallas right now instead of this BS had he'd been shipped off a long time ago.

I really don't think this taking up a lot of MS's time. IF there is anything in the works it should be Allen who is busy and I don't think he draws up game-plans for Sunday.

Well, if this were happening to the Cowboys, we'd be all over it. Maybe it is not taking up MS's time...but the coaches have to hear about it, the players have to hear it about it, etc., etc. I would imagine as a team, you would not want any distractions before one of the biggest game of the season.

I really doubt this AH stuff is distracting a guy like McNabb or Portis or Moss. really?! Is it distracting our D? Fletcher? Doubt it. Is it distracting the media? Most definitely. They have something to write about. Its more likely its distracting all of us on this thread! lol

So do you think the whole coaching stff sits around and says..."oh my god, what are we going to do with problem child?" lol. Sorry but the coaches are game planning and getting the team ready. Bruce Allen may be making calls but the coaches are more than focused.

It gets really annoying during the season with injuries.

BREAKING NEWS (False): McNabb broke his neck!

Reality: Hang Nail
