Titans fans pretty much know Albert is a big baby. It still gets talked about on the local sports talk radio because there is still a group of people who think he may end up back here by the end of the season. One reason he played so well here is because Jeff Fisher and Jim Washburn actually knew how to push his buttons.

No star player wants to change positions and his attitude is to be expected. He could handle it better, but the Redskins and Shanahan have done a poor job as well. The amount money is irrelvant. If my boss walk in tomorrow and told me I would me moved from network administration to phone tech support but still be paid the same, I would be sour to.

Lol typical classy post. He'd be MIA if it were a white player.

Thats a lie. I know of no high profile star player who has changed positions. And to put all things in perspective

Here is the entire interview, he sounds like a decent dude and hopefully he can work out the issues. A lot of this was overblown

Not a lie. Ex-Dolphin Jason Taylor went from DE to LB. Celtics' Paul Pierce went from SG to SF. A-Rod went from SS to 3B. All-time MLB hits leader Pete Rose logged hundreds of games at multiple positions. NFL great Rod Woodson went from DB to Safety.

Yall don't talk about white players. That would break the code. But we can talk about all those women Peyton Manning is sleeping around with. Lets have some discussion on the Pittsburgh rapist. Lets talk about Brady getting engaged to one chick while having another one knocked up. Ricky Williams smoked some weed huh, well Lincecum is doing pretty good himself. But hey that's what home, a home here. Just think of being the black sheep of the family. :)

Jason Taylor switched frequently between those two positions his entire career. There is zero difference between SF and SG. A Rod changed because he went to the Yankees, who maybe you didn't know have a player named Jeter. Pete was the man :). But Albert has been working on making the change. Good Lord, give the guy a chance to at least calm down and have time to work on making the change. Its a big difference between DT and Nose.

Albert should go crash his lambo@100mph again and then he won't have to play the 3-4 anymore.

I really don't understand guys in the top 1% of the top 1% of women-getting ability getting married, especially if they're not completely sure they can be faithful.

Just like any other kind of buffet, it's a marathon, not a sprint... :p

1. Haynesworth is a dimwitted lout.

2. Unbelievably poorly expressed, but he has a point. No, he's not a slave, but the expectations under which he signed his contract were changed for the presumed good of the team but to his personal and professional detriment, so he is doing what he can to get traded.

Money isn't everything, and he has only a very few years to excel. He could shut up and just take the money, but he wants to be in a system that uses his talents while he still possesses them.

You might, too. ;)

You and I are going to have to work this out. Its like you are stalking me. You go to every thread for no other reason then to reply to my post. I apologized if I hurt your feelings around the whole gay marriage thing. I still don't now or will ever be in support of gay marriage dude, just let it go. Now if you are banging some dude and you wanna get married then thats your business, but for you just to keep replying to me to try to get even because of what I said is becoming lame now.

And the racist stuff is just dumb.

Well clearly, you have taken it very personal. I apologized because I didn't mean to offend anyone, but I am entitled to my opinion on the homosexual lifestyle. So you just have to be mad dude, I am going to let this go on my end.........................

Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean it's okay to deny others their rights because you're afraid of catching the gay. But hey, go back to P&N, make a thread about it, and the entire forum (with the exception of a few religious fundies) will tear you apart for it. For this thread, it's just like the Vick thread.

Well I gave my opinion, sorry its not in support of the choices in your life.
