Haynesworth

DT Albert Haynesworth got $ 100 million from the Redskins $ 41 million guaranteed. My issue? Availability, durability whatever you call it.

In 7 years he has missed 22 games playing all 16 only in his rookie year. He has missed between 2 and 6 games.

Elementary if you aren't on the field you don't make plays, earn your money etc. If I am to play top money I want someone who will be available 100%

Have a Good Read: The Long Goodbye

Great gritty old school writing. Whether Chandler writes about coffee, whiskey or dames it works. Story not as good, but its really all about the unique writing.

Crash

In Tuscon AZ a car ran a red light hit an ambulance. A third car was involved. Ambulance passenger & two from car perished.

A reminder to me why driving the ambulance is not my favorite part of the job!
