Holla......If Ya Hear Me Redskins! I'm Out!

     There are some stories in sports that sometimes just boggle my mind.  This happens to be one of them.  Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth did not show up to mandatory mini camp because he is not happy about being converted to a nose tackle in head coach Mike Shanahan's new defensive 3 - 4 system.  On top of that he would like to be traded after signing a 7 year/$100 million dollar contract last Febuary. I apologize because i'm about to go computer nerd talk.  OMFG!  Are you serious??  How much of a pity party do you really want me to throw for this guy?   Albert Moneysworth is honestly starting to get on my last nerve.  Interesting twist is that I read a article from Patrick Hruby at ESPN.com defending Moneysworth position with the Redskins.  Hruby's article particulary caught my attention with the following:

"Haynesworth's argument essentially goes like this:

I signed with the Redskins expecting to be a havoc-creating, quarterback-attacking playmaker in a 4-3 defense. That's the role in which I excel; that's the style of play I enjoy; that's what was promised during my free-agent courtship. Only now, the team has shifted to a new coaching staff and a new 3-4 scheme, which basically asks me to eat double-team blocks. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd like a little more excitement. A lot more glory. Please send me somewhere else."

On the surface it looks pretty harmless.  In my opinion, however, the key is expecting to be that kind of player in a 4-3 defense.  You can't honeslty tell me that the possibility didn't pop into Moneysworth's head that the team could change head coaches and change defenses.  I got news for ya Al, the team doesn't revolve around you.  Now, at the first sign of something not going his way, he wants to pull the parachute cord and bail out?  You know what, for 7 years and $100 million dollars i'll adjust to whatever my job needs to me to do.  Man up Moneysworth and do what you were PAID to do.  You have no excuse.  NONE!  You were paid hansomely for your talent and they receive a toddler who whines when the slightest change occurs.  Grow up dude!

Much Luck,

Joe
