Without pay.

5 Freaking games? That's it?

Let's see if Fisher steps up and adds to it. I agree though, 5 games just doesn't seem like enough.

Albert Haynesworth was just suspended for 5 games..Does not seem much of a punishment..Should have been kicked out of the league at least a year...He gets no pay either during these weeks of suspension-Maybe they'll trade him to Cincy with the rest of the thugs.

I may have given him more but a third of a season is hardly just a slap on the wrist. That's a serious penalty.

I thought 6 games and a hefty fine was about right.

Eh, I thought 4 would be fair, just like a drug suspension. Our society is a results-based society and he didn't do the guy irreparable harm. Missing 5/16 of your games and paycheck is pretty big.

I was hoping for at least 6 games and some hefty fines.. Pfft. What kind of precedent is this setting for future ASSAULTS on the field? YES, that was an assault.

Fisher was just on NFLN discussing the suspension and didn't say anything about adding to it.

The possible penalty was discussed last night in this thread and I was one of the few not calling for his testicles to be excised. I originally said 4 games then upon reflection said 6 games would be better, and apparently the league thinks about the same way I did.

The guy was very remorseful afterwards (contrast that to the fake apologies or denials of responsibility we have seen many times from other NFL players) and the whole thing was in the heat of battle. Five games is a severe suspension by NFL standards and Haynesworth did not in any way shape or form got off lightly.

Fisher could probably give him 4 more games.............Behaviour detrimental to the team.

Would you have felt the same way if it was Koppen's exposed head getting stomped on with cleats?

Or try it the other way, what if Big Vince Wilfork did that to somebody? Would you want the Patriots to welcome him back into the 'family' after a 5 game suspension? Personally, I'd want him gone.
