If I didn't know better, I'd say Dan Snyder was Darth Maul to Al Davis' Darth Sidious.

well, I hope someone like Mark Cuban comes along soon and dimidiates him with a lightsaber, also.

Haynesworth is unstoppable when he's not acting like a crybaby

LMAO, none of Haynesworth's money is guaranteed and the skins paid almost $37 million to him over 2 years, LOL

"skins paid albert 35.6 mil over 2 years. pats 12.6 over next two.. exactly ZERO $ guaranteed."

you showed a video clip where he was up against one of the worst defensive lines in the league. of course he will look unstoppable. a high school linesman would look unstoppable against the bears offensive line.

the guy is a fucking diva bitchass who doesn't deserve to play anymore.

Well, it was still an impressive pass rush, it looked like a college player going up against a high schooler. In any case, if anyone can get to Haynesworth, it's Belichick 🙂
 
I love the Ochocinco move, and I'm in wait-and-see mode with Haynesworth. I now understand why the Pats didn't draft any pass rushers this spring. He probably had this move planned from the start. I feel that Belichick must have talked with him beforehand about playing DE in the 3-4. The thing that worries me, though, is that BB's defenses always require positional versatility. Most of the players practice in at least two spots, and AH is going to have to be ok with being in the nose once in a while (hell, even Wilfork was playing end at times last season).

As for Ocho, I love the guy. I know he gets a bad rep for being flashy, but he actually plays the game the right way. I don't have a problem with guys who talk, I have a problem with guys that don't do everything they can to win the game. He's always played hard, and his TD celebrations were just fun, and not demeaning to anyone. I think it says something that he and Belichick always had an odd couple friendship. Ocho remains the only person I've ever seen Bill trash talk in a press conference. It'll be interesting to see if Ochocinco quiets down a bit, though, or if BB gives him some extra leeway.

Also, the thing to remember is that neither of these guys is required to be a superstar. If they can play at the "solid starter" level, these trades will be considered steals.
 
if they don't get the cop signed soon and have to go into the season with him under the franchise tag, cap wise they'll be a bit on the fuked side for signing people.
 
The Ochocinco move just proves how big of an idiot douche the Bungles owner is. He's been trying to get out of the 'Nati for years and has been a huge malcontent and he "gets rewarded" for his bad behavior but Palmer, who's been an upstanding citizen, is being a "petulant child".

Yeah, his behavior (Brown's, that is) does seem to be a bit inconsistent. Look how Philly ripped off the Cards -- Brown could easily get a package like that from a desperate team like the 49ers or Raiders.
 
There's definitely an arms race going on between the Pats and Jets. The Jets have decided to try and build the best pass defense money can buy, figuring that if you can stop the Pats' pass offense, you've won half the battle.

The Patriots have responded by adding a big body at WR (Ocho), going RB happy (Vereen, Ridley) in the draft to give themselves a backup plan, and buying a potentially great run-stuffing DE with personality problems (Haynesworth) to try to slow the Jets' running attack.
 
So the Dolphins are passing on Orton and signed Matt Moore; how come nobody wants Orton?
