      Albert Haynesworth has no future with the Redskins

      September 7, 2010 /
      Aug. 14, 2010 - Landover, Maryland, United States of America - 13 August, 2010:Washington Redskins Defensive Lineman ALBERT HAYNESWORTH.

      So now the Redskins have re-entered trade talks with the Titans for Albert Haynesworth.

      Fantastic. The never ending offseason death ride continues.

      I wonder if Mike Shanahan has the correct business hours for FedEx, because if he wanted to get rid of Hanyesworth so bad, he could have already shipped the mammoth defensive tackle out of town by now.

      ESPN’s Chris Mortensen says there is no deal in place yet between the Skins and Titans, because Tennessee feels that Washington’s asking price of two draft picks is too high. Quite frankly, I don’t blame the Titans for not giving into the Redskins’ demands considering a) Haynesworth hasn’t cracked the starting lineup yet and b) Shanahan clearly wants nothing to do with him.

      Why pay full price for something when the seller is willing to give the product away for less than what its worth? Washington can play hardball with Tennessee all it wants, but at the end of the day the Titans know that Shanahan doesn’t want Haynesworth on his roster, so all they have to do is show some patience and they’ll get the player they want for cheap.

      The best thing for the Redskins would be to trade Haynesworth for whatever they can get, even if it doesn’t wind up being fair value in return. This was Dan Snyder’s fault for paying a player $100 million and ignoring all the signs that came with said player. If he had bothered to do his homework, he would have taken a pass just like most owners and built his team through the draft for once.

      Nothing positive is going to come out of this Haynesoworth/Shanahan/Redskins fiasco, so Washington needs to cut its losses and move on.

      What’s the deal with Tom Brady’s hair?

      September 7, 2010 /

      Pats homer Bill Simmons wrote this in his recent column about Tom Brady’s new hairdo…

      Important note: A few weeks ago, all Patriots fans made a pact to pretend that Brady’s 2010 hairdo isn’t happening. We’re going to ignore it completely — even if his hair catches fire during a game and a referee puts it out with a challenge flag — and play dumb whenever you bust our balls about it. Which will probably be often. Just know this is the last time I will mention No. 12’s hair in 2010. In fact, what hair? Tom Brady changed his hair? I didn’t notice.

      He looks like he should be playing a gym teacher in one of the “Twilight” movies.

      Randy Moss needs a reality check when it comes to comments about contract

      In an exclusive interview with CBSSports.com, this is what Randy Moss (who is entering the final year of his contract) had to say about not receiving an offer yet for a new deal:

      “When you have done so much and put so much work in, it kind of feels like I am not wanted,” Moss said in an exclusive interview with CBSSports.com. “I am taking that in stride and playing my final year out and whatever the future holds is what it holds, but it is kind of a bad feeling — feeling not wanted. It is not like my production has gone down. I am speaking from an individual standpoint. I don’t know about Tom [Brady’s] or whoever else’s contract.

      “I am a little older and understand the nature of the business — the older you get the more your skills supposedly diminish, but I think I am getting wiser in how to use my physical skills. That’s the frustrating part when you put so much heart and desire into things and feel like you are not wanted.”

      Hey Randy, reality check, bud: If Tom Brady doesn’t have a new contract yet, then neither do you. So sit tight, show some patience and the Patriots will probably get around to you once the quarterback that has produced three Super Bowl rings gets his new deal.

      I can certainly understand that Moss is uneasy going into the final year of his current deal without the guarantee of a contract beyond this season. And I also understand that he’s been highly productive over the last couple of years and thus, has earned a new contract offer.

      But am I missing something here? Who was the guy that completely tanked in Oakland for two years before New England saved him? Oh, that was Randy Moss. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he still got paid for that monstrosity of an effort he put up with the Raiders, so excuse me for not shedding a tear for him because he doesn’t feel wanted.

      New England has long taken the approach that players have to earn every single contract they receive. That means Moss may have to go out and catch another 75 balls this season in order to get a new deal. So be it. Like he said, he understands the business side of the NFL, so if that’s what he has to do then that’s what he has to do.

      But not feeling wanted? Please. I wonder what the Raiders and there fans thought when they watched Moss give up on damn near every route in ran in 2005 and 2006.

      What goes around comes around when it pertains to Bush losing his Heisman

      September 7, 2010 /
      WASHINGTON - AUGUST 09: New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush participates in a reception for the 2010 National Football League Super Bowl champions at the White House August 9, 2010 in Washington, DC.

      Imagine you’re in a store and while you were shopping, someone decides to steal something and run out the door. Security then blocks all exits, takes down everyone’s information and then bans those people that were shopping at the time from the store for the next two years.

      Meanwhile, the person that stole the item not only avoids punishment, but he or she winds up hitting the lottery for $52 million a couple of months later.

      Is it fair that the people in the store that didn’t steal anything got punished for one person breaking the law, even though their only connection with the criminal was that they attended the same store? And is it fair that the one person who stole something not only got off scot-free but also cashed in later?

      Any reasonable person would probably answer “no” to the above scenario, which is why I don’t feel the least bit sorry for Reggie Bush that the Downtown Athletic Club is expected to strip him from his 2005 Heisman Trophy. (It’s important to note that Bush hasn’t been stripped of his Heisman yet.)

      Obviously my shopping analogy isn’t the best fit because Bush never stole anything, but you get the point. Bush broke the rules and the current USC players had to pay for them. Meanwhile, Bush avoids any kind of punishment and not only that, but he also receives a $52 million contract from the Saints on top of it.
