"I apologize to Andre," Haynesworth said. "What I did was disgusting. It's something that should never happen. I mean, I'm not a dirty player. I don't play dirty. I have respect for the game. What I feel like is I disgraced the game, disgraced my team and disgraced my last name."
Haynesworth...
There is no room for this in the game. He won't be, but he oughta be tossed for the season. Maybe longer. Pure insanity.
I think he is gone for the season.
No chance. He may get suspended for up to 3 games, but I don't see any chance of him getting suspended for the season. Fisher's announcement that he would ensure that Haynesworth's punishment is severe if he doesn't feel that the league's punishment is severe enough is admirable. I have always had a lot of respect for Fisher, and this is a fine example of why. Not only is the man a great coach. He also has a tremendous amount of integrity.
Integrity my ass. He has let that pip squeak do nothing Pac Man Jones get away with anything he wants.
Examples please. Pac Man Jones got in trouble with the law, but I haven't heard anything about him getting away with anything he wants on the football field (in practice or in games). Of course, I don't live in Tennessee so I don't hear the local news on the Titans.
There's a lot of resentment right now toward Fisher from people that live in Tennessee because the team is horrible. However, that isn't Fishers' fault. That's the fault of the owner and GM who let the team's salary cap situation get so out of control that they ended up having to unload almost every decent player on the team to get back under the cap. The Titans were never a very talented team in the first place. Fisher did a great job of winning a lot of games for years with average talent.
I hate the Titans, so I am not bashing them because of their losing. Jones has been allowed to get away with stuff on the field. The personal fouls mainly.
What should the penalty be for a personal foul? Every one that I've seen him make, it is followed by a tantrum befitting that of a 7 year old, a trip to the sideline, a chewing out by Fisher, and a viewing of the next few plays from the bench.
