Fat Albert (Haynesworth) is likely heading to the Washington Redskins

by BigBlueShoe on Feb 24, 2009 2:57 PM EST in NFL General Comment 46 comments

Many of us here have had our run-ins with August West, a writer over at Music City Miracles. He did a lot of chirping throughout much of the regular season, but after the Colts body-slammed the Titans in the last game of the regular season, August West was not so... chirpy.

But, that aside, his post today over at MCM made me LOL. I don't know if he Photoshoped this, and I don't care. It's hilarious:

Why is Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder standing in front of a pile of burning (Joker) money? Because ole Danny is about to spend over $100 million on a defensive tackle (from The Houston Chronicle's Lance Zierlein, via MCM):

This time around he tells me that the Washington Redskins will break the bank to sign Albert Haynesworth. The Titans could come over the top of the Redskins deal as well, but my guess is that the Redskins will let Haynesworth get the best offer possible from the Titans and then "better deal" it.

My source tells me to look for a contract that could break $100 million with an average of $15 million to $16 million per. My guy is almost never wrong and Dan Snyder gets what he wants.

This contract would, without question, make Haynesworth the highest paid defensive player in football. While I know most people here are still a bit upset over the likely possibility that Marvin Harrison will leave the Colts, let us all stop for a moment and take a second to reflect on and react appropriately to Daniel Snyder's possible contract offer to Albert Haynesworth:

For Titans fans, I imagine they feel about the same as we do on this. If that dumb ass owner in DC wants to spend that kind of money on a player who routinely takes plays off, by all means. Hope you enjoy the NFC East, Albert!

he's suggesting that August was less chirpy because he'd been banned.

If so, he needs to re-read the post

August was chirpy at MCM. After Indy kicked Tennessee’s ass, he was less chirpy. In fact, he was critical of his own coach.

Well KingRichard, you were right

Hayneswoth is going to be the biggest waste of money (assuming he signs with the Skins). Since everyone knows the Redskins will be lucky to even make the playoffs again with their idiot owner.

Go Colts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t think anyone, save a few Titans fans, think Tennessee is better than Indy “in the now.”

I really don’t think you want to get into arguing records as a basis for an argument against the Colts. Just saying.

You keep living up that 13-3 season

Wasn’t that the one you guys kept using against us? Great regular season, top seed, first round bye, lost to a WC? It’s going to go down that the Colts, a WC team lost to a division champion and that the Titans, the #1 seed, lost to the #6 seed. Congratulations.

August West

I offered to invite him back into the fold, but he refused. If he comes back over here under a different name, I’ll ban him again. Such an act is trolling, not contributing.

The bottom line is August acted very inappropriately, and was unapologetic about it. Thus, banned. And then a few weeks later, his team lost in the playoffs.

Karma, baby.

The reason he was banned

August West was banned because he verbally absued and insulted Stampede Blue writers. I deleted the comments and emailed him a warning. He then went back on my site and continued insulting people. He then dared me to ban him.

I obliqued him.

August takes the whole Colts v. Titans “rivalry” way too seriously. He doesn’t like the fact that the Colts own his team in the win-loss column, and he lets that spill over into personal attacks.

To be perfectly clear

since August cannot speak for himself; August insulted a Stampede Blue writer singular not writers plural.

Also, I seriously doubt what happened here with August had anything to do with the Titans loss in the playoffs.

If it's true

then that’s one less player Peyton has to worrying about in the division. Wow, $100 million for a fat,slob that takes plays off. Damn, Synder is a friggin’ genius! I wish Irsay would’ve done that!

by KMR24 on Feb 24, 2009 3:08 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Dan Snyder is an idiot,

No one else in their right mind would sign anyone to a 100 million dollar deal unless they were signing a QB. Hell neither Freeney or Allen got 100 mill on their long-term deals. + knowing the Redskins, Haynes worth will likely be cut next season when Dan Snyder gets pissed his team doesn’t make the playoffs in 09.

I second that

Thank god Haynesworth didn’t either re-sign with the Titans or sign with the Jags, Texans, Chargers, or Patriots. And thank god he went to a team that has a bad history with free agents and could end up cutting Hayneswoth (assuming he sign’s with the Redskins) next season.

PS.
I heard people talking on NFL networks last night like Hayneswoth may re-sign with the Titans.

To steal a line from an old old Simpsons episode

ME: Dan Snyder, how do you sleep at night?
DAN: On a big pile of money.

Should be worth tuning in to those two Skins/Boys games from now on. Might end up looking like a scene from The Longest Yard or the MASH movie.

I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.

Albert, you will never win a playoff game

until you come to the Colts.

PS.
100 million is redicules especially for the Redskins who’s idiot owner only hire’s and fire’s people. Albert will be a bust in Washington just like everyone else who gets a big contract. And just for the record, I knew Fat Albert would likely either sign with the Chiefs, Deadskins, or Buccs.

There's a few teams that could afford him at that price

And the Redskins are not one of them. Not even close. Even though I’d love for him to go to the NFC, it’s not happening. They’re not too healthy capwise, and that contract would be an insane hit for 2009. It’d have to comply with the 30% rule, the Deion Sanders rule, and proration acceleration. You’re talking about like a 30 million hit for 2009. I just threw that number out, I’ll figure what it would be later. But unless the Redskins cut half their team, which would cost them more than keeping some players, there’s a zero percent chance this happens.

His guy might almost never be wrong, but it can’t be done at 15-16 million per year. I’ll work the numbers later, but yet again, people making assumptions about contracts who don’t actually know there are RULES.

The Titans could afford him, Tampa Bay, Denver etc… Not Washington. Well I guess if Albert’s the only guy that plays in 2009, sure.

KSK had a pair of good jabs on this

It’s also being reported that Snyder is adamant about giving up a first and a third round draft pick in exchange for Haynesworth, despite the fact that he’s a free agent.

and it was the tag
