I understand wanting to win. I know what it feels like to want it so bad that you'd do almost anything to do so. But there's a line that should never be crossed, and Albert Haynesworth leaped over it yesterday.
The Titans weren't supposed to win yesterday, but they kept it close in the first half. The Cowboys came out and man-handled the Titans' defense in the second half. And even though it was the same old song for the Titans in the second half as it has been in every second half of all their games this year (and last), I'm sure it gets frustrating.
After being beaten badly on a play by Cowboys offensive lineman Andre Gurode, Albert Haynesworth went back to the offensive lineman. As Gurode lay on the ground, Albert stomped on his helmet-less head. With cleats. Not rubber cleats but steel cleats. Cheap shot. And then he acted surprised when the ref threw the flag and ejected him.
I'd like to see the Titans turn things around. I'd like to see them win a few games. But if they're going to play dirty, I'd just as soon see them lose the rest of their games this year. At least they'd get a good draft pick out of it. (Not that they know what to do with great draft picks.....)
Haynesworth sounded contrite after the game. Embarrassed by the whole situation. At least he said all the right things. But would he have felt the same way if he hadn't gotten caught? Fisher has vowed to take matters into his own hands if the NFL's punishment is too light.
Note to Coach Fisher - Pac Man's supposed to be your problem child. You're starting to lose control of the team and you've still got 12 games to go.....
