football is violent

I went to school with Haynesworth knew him fairly well...while his actions in Sunday's game were unexcusable, he is not a thug. He is actually a very respectable family man. His actions were clearly out of frustration; frustration from being the only player worth a damn on the Titans' entire defense. At least he was man enough to give a heart felt apology after the game. That entire organization is in shambles right now and the whole situation is sad. While I am in no way condoning his actions, I just wanted to state that he is not a thug.

GO VOLS! 5 days till victory between the hedges!

I don't care if he was frustrated or not. He should be kicked out of the league and spend time in jail for assualt. I'm sure plenty of his UT buddies would be there to keep him company.

What kind of cleates do they wear in the NFL? It's like he dug in and drug it right through.

As for the prothro thing...it was in some magazine called Shock. It's sick and twisted. Is he walking at all yet.

I can't even watch that. ugh...

I haven't heard much about it lately. I do know that he got a staph infection following the surgery to repair the damage, and that it caused yet another setback in his full recovery. President Bush even sent him a letter telling him how much of a loss his injury is to College Football.

Haynesworth has had some issues with temper and attitude with the Titans in the past. He needs to go to anger management classes and become a professional. Glad he is being held accountable for his actions. The Titans need less renegades and more team players. Maybe Vince Young can make a difference in the next few years.

Haynesworth Suspension

He got 5 games without pay...That length of suspension represents the biggest on-field disciplinary action in league history.

The Titans' problem is they want to win, but want to do it on the cheap. You can't waive as many good players as they have and replace them with guys who command a lower salary and still expect to win.

So what are they going to do? Fire Jeff Fisher. Yeah, that makes alot of sense.

The local news stated that Haynesworth would lose $200,000 for the five games and Fisher alluded to haynesworth's status dependent upon his actions the next five weeks. If his replacement is any good, he may find himself benched longer.

JB...you are so right about the issue of money and the quality of the team. Bud Adams holds the purse strings tight. Pro football is new to Nashville and having a the first few years really good, fans do not know what to do. Fisher is just caught in the middle, and if he gets fired another team would be happy to have him.

Throw his behind out of the league. He should never be allowed on the field again. That's all I gotta say.

Very true. :shock: I could probably buy one of those if I made 650K a year, too. Without stomping on somebody's face.

LL, you might want to edit out the "grace in losing" part. That gets you fired coaching in the SEC. Come to think of it, courtesy was out long ago. Just ask Steve Spurrier.

I know. I heard something today about him telling his fans that he doesn't want them to clap and cheer for SC after they lose. Man he doesn't mess around.....
