Hate isn't the right word here. My criticism is 100% rational and should not be dismissed because of who the player is. Haynesworth elicits an emotional response from you, but he never, ever did something so self absorbed as to delay the game after blowing his assignment. He simply never disrespected the game like that.
I'd like to take back the Haynesworth-Hall comparison. They're very different people, very different players, and a very different kind of selfish. So forget I named dropped Haynesworth. This isn't about him.
It's about a player so sadly convinced that he IS the team that we get events like what happened last night far too often. Please don't respond to this if you're just going to brush off what happened as a non-issue. That's not objective.

I agree to disagree. I don't feel that he disrespected the game. How do you know that he wasn't being instructed by Shannahan to not line up for the PAT? Secondly, Shanny is one of the more disciplined coaches in the NFL. Either he didn't have a problem with it or he has addressed it. Either way it is over and his actions were not detrimental to the team. Off sides, penalty declined, PAT Good. At least he didn't take a nap in the endzone using the football as a pillow.
