I agree with Millhouse – the only time I seek out classiness is when I’m buying hookers.

At this point of the year I’d read an article about the guy who sells Fat Albert his cheeseburgers behind Smith’s back or JaMarcus Russell’s syrup dealer.

I’m generally not a big fan of your work and July or not there is never any reason to keep it classy.

Take it easy on Smith… First off he didn’t come out and make this statement, he was called by a beat writer and the fact that he gave a statement whether it biased or not, I thank him, there is nothing more boring for a football fan than july.
As for fat albert… I’m as unhappy as the rest of redskins nation with his diva mentality but if he shows up in dominant form, picks up the new defense and performs, no one will remember his offseason antics. The best thing we can hope for is that he comes in and helps this team to be better, has a stellar year and if he still wants out we can perhaps get some real value.

I’m generally a big fan of your work and I know it’s the drought season for nfl writers, but keep it classy bro, no need to take cheap shots at a trainer for talking about training during an interview…

Krol2, I already used up the last remaining hint of using the cartoon references last month. So stop it.

In a perfect world (for me) I would agree that he comes back all ripped (40% body fat) for him, and he sits the entire year. On top of that, Dan Snyder eats the paycheck because he has to learn somehow not to be stupid with his contracts.

But unfortunately (in my mind) that won’t happen, and these divas, will ultimately get what they want.

Honestly, I think this whole thing is going to blow over. He is gonna come to training camp and its gonna be awkward at first, but I think it will all boil down. I think it will turn out like Lance Briggs in Chicago…he wasnt happy and wanted to be traded, but it didnt happen. So he came back and played. Thats how I think this story ends.

I still think he is a dick, though.

“I listen to the feedback he gives me and I change things accordingly. In the long run that’s what’s going to make him a better football player and athlete on the field.” —- No wonder Haynesworth has this attitude. Dude!! You are a personal trainer!!! You should know better. Football doesn’t work with the players. The players work with the game. You know who I feel sorry for? His mother. His mother must be so ashamed to have raised such a child. No pride, no dignity, no honor.

” Haynesworth still rolled around on the ground like an Italian soccer player every time he needed to catch his breath”

LOL! I’m a big soccer fan and player (HUGE Skins fan too but that GWS), that is a great piece of writing right there.

Agree with your points but wanted to comment because I appreciate the analogy (although you might replace “Italian” with “Dutch” as they are becoming just as legendary for their dives).
