Were the Redskins Tampering With Haynesworth?

According to ESPN.com the Tennessee Titans are accusing the Redskins of contacting Haynesworth and his agent, Chad Speck, before the free agency period started.

Living in the DC Area I can say that I don’t think anyone around here would be surprised if the Redskins were guilty. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who grew up as a Washington fan and even she admits that Dan Snyder makes it hard to root for the Redskins.

Albert Haynesworth is saying that his team is innocent and that everything was on the up and up – but what else can he say?

Washington could lose a draft pick if the league finds out that they were talking to Haynesworth’s agent before free agency.

Warner Asks Cardinals For $23 Million

The Arizona Cardinals offered Kurt Warner a two year $20 million contract with $10 million guaranteed.

Warner counter-offered $23 million with $12 guaranteed.

Let me tell you why I don’t even think he is worth the first offer.

1) Kurt Warner is older than me.

How many times do I have to tell you people that I (at 36) am too old to play in in the NFL? Warner is six months older than me. In NFL years 36 equals 78. Especially when you’ve been sacked as many times as Kurt Warner.

2) Kurt Warner is Overrated

I have been screaming about this since 1999. Yes, he has a quick release, yes he has a big arm, but he isn’t that accurate. Warner has been blessed with amazing receivers. This year Fitzgerald and Boldin, and back when he was with the Rams he had Tory Holt, Isaac Bruce, Muhsin Muhammad and Marshall fucking Faulk. Ryan Leaf could quarterback a Super Bowl team with that kind of personnel.

Warner threw 14 interceptions during the 2008 regular season. That is a lot.

3) Kurt Warner is preachy and pompous.

If I wanted a minister I would go to church. Why can’t your faith be between you and God?

4) Warner Needs The Cardinals

I’m not saying that Kurt wouldn’t take they money and run to San Francisco but I can say that I don’t think the 49ers will be making any Super Bowl appearances in the next two years.

And I don’t think anybody thinks that Warner has more than that left in him.
