From Reiss:

Quote:

"He's very unlike a lot of what you read about," Johnson said Sunday as he subbed in for coach Bill Belichick as part of a daily news conference. "I was thinking, 'What am I really going to have to deal with?' I'm coaching whatever player comes up in here, it doesn't matter to me, but Albert is a great guy. It's kind of hard to see some of the things you hear, negative about him, coming from that person. ... You need to know both sides of the story. I think Albert is a great person. He's been trying to work his way out on the field. He's been tremendous in the classroom to date. I'm expecting a lot from him."

"I think he's excited about being here, he's excited about playing football, and of course, he's one of the best defensive linemen in the league so I'm quite sure he's going to make a big difference," he responded.

Hold on.

I thought Haynesworth was getting cut?

Not nitpicking as all are entitled to their opinions.......

But who one starred the post? I'm just curious why?

Do you not like AH? Do you think this is propaganda? Are you Dan Pompeii?

Some immature juvenile has been one-starring every thread in the forum.

Anyways, the early reports on Haynesworth's motivation and mindset are very encouraging.

Guh. I hate this part of the year. I want to see our full starter lineup pummel someone. Anyone. I know JAX isn't the best team in the league but our endless rotation of 'backups' got very consistent pressure on them. I'm excited to see AH and VW side by side, whoever happens to line up at DE next to them will instantly look better for it.

I've never paid attention to the stars. Either the thread sucks or it doesn't. To be honest I've never put a star on anything I've read.

It's so funny how opposing teams fans so desperately do not want this to work out for the Pats. Because they KNOW they're QB is going to be hunted and killed like a wounded animal. I guess you could say some of those fans- especially those childish enough to one star posts on an opposing teams forums- are more than a little green with envy!

I always thought AH would be very different in person. Something about the homogenous, 1 sided reporting on him didn't ring true to me.

ps.
The 1 star bandit strikes again!
