Re: Albret Haynesworth Suspended 5 Games
I am a football fan. Football gets rough. The hit from Sapp on Clifton was chicken shit but it was legal and it was a football hit.Originally posted by GrnBay007
This guy should be arrested. Nothing about wearing a football uniform allows you to pull off a guy's helmet and stomp on his head. What if he'd pushed his nose into his brain and killed him? --You wouldn't call that 2nd degree murder?
This was an assault, and though the guy's apology was heartfelt and eloquent it shouldn't excuse him from paying the consequences.
A five game suspension is a joke.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

I do believe that his apology may of reduced his suspension. If that was Haynesworth's plan with that apology, I do not know.Comment

Agree!! An insult to the NFL and the game of football!!!Originally posted by swedeComment

I just found out that this was the biggest suspension in NFL history. The cloest was our own Charles Martin delivering the cheap hit on McMahon."I've got one word for you- Dallas, Texas, Super Bowl"- Jermichael FinleyComment

I wonder if Jeff Fisher thinks this is stern enough or if the Titans will be adding to it."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

One good thing to come out of the Haynesworth incident is that we got to see Charles Martin's "Hit List" play on ESPN. Man, that was sweet!Originally posted by BallHawkComment

Although, it was dirty. Shame on Charles Martin.

i am willing to bet, that Jeff Fischer will suspend him maybe the same MORE amount, for a total of 10 games...it wouldn't surprise me. I respect Jeff fischer a lot, and I think he will take this more than seriously."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

I think the new CBA prevents some things related to this, ala the Eagles and T.O. and the Bucs and Keyshawn.Originally posted by ND72
I recall a maximum of 4 games, but also think there was some verbage about defering to the commissioner's office?
Somebody with more time than me can look it up.... but Fischers hands might be tied with the new CBA.Comment

Just found this on usatoday:Originally posted by ND72
that just kind of sums it up...Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Haynesworth's actions were unacceptable.
"I felt there needed to be some serious action taken from a discipline standpoint, and I believe that what the league has done right now is adequate," Fisher said.

It may draw a hearing, but I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to suspend him for four more games."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

His apology is noteworthy but I think he should be suspended for the season.
Having him arrested is going a little too far. Had the physical assault occured in a public place away from the playing field, then yes, I would have him charged for assault.
I think Fischer has handled the incident as a professional.

The 5 game suspension covers six weeks, because of their bye week. That means he will lose 6/17ths of his pay. Over one-third of his salary! Pretty significant hit in the wallet.Comment
