c) Isn't it a bit hypocritical to rip somebody for driving recklessly when we all make mistakes driving?

This is just another example of a situation getting blown out of proportion without people getting the facts. Hell, half the people in this thread think this JUST happened when it's old news.

I see what you're saying njx9. I'm just saying it is annoying how people on this forum act like getting in a car accident is the worst thing ever and it makes Haynesworth a complete idiot. He's human. Being in the NFL doesn't give you God-like powers to avoid trouble, it actually makes it harder to avoid trouble.

The most annoying is when everyone thinks that if you are an NFL player you should hire a driver and have a body guard.

Solid overreaction going on in this thread.

Like Snyder didn't make sure character clauses were put into the contract..

Because:

a. He did do something wrong.
b. He made someone else get in a car accident when he tried to overtake them.
c. We all make mistakes, but we all don't drive recklessly.
d. Professional athletes shouldn't get into these kinds of situations. It's why Pacman Jones is out of the league... and Charles Barkley went to jail.

Even if he did, that's good for the Redskins, but no matter what, this is bad for Albert.

Forcing some one to crash into a median because you are an impatient ass is more a lot worse then just an average car accident.

Do you know if that is what happened or should you wait for it to get sorted out in court?

Well we already know the guy kicked a defenseless man on the ground when he wasn't wearing a helmet. How much benefit of the doubt does he deserve? NONE.

Funniest post of the year goes to...........!!!!!! Actually there's 8ish months to go so not quite.

TimD · 03-12-2009, 08:05 PM

People are jumping all over him without any facts. Don't tell me that everyone who ripped on him is a perfect driver who never speeds or drives too aggressively towards others. Wait until we hear all the facts before we decide if its going to be a bid deal or not.

absolutely.

the Redskins are like a hot chick with Herpes. at first glimpse youre like, "wow, that chick is smoking", but then you look a little deeper, and realize that all she's gonna do is burn you.

hahaha so true!

...and the Giants are like that ugly lookin' tranny in the corner, who looks so obvious that she's a man, but you keep looking because she's so weird...and everytime you make eye contact you look away immediately because you don't want her catching you starring because you know deep down inside she can royally kick your ass. :D

a. Nothing that every other driver hasn't done at one point in their life.
b. He tried to pass and someone slammed into a median, unless he ran them into the median both parties are at fault.
c. You've never sped? Never tried to pass when you probably shouldn't have? Never been late and weaved through traffic? Ok Mr. Perfect Driver, I salute you.
d. This is HARDLY a Pacman type incident. If he was drunk, then you have a point. He got in a car accident, people get cited for that kind of stuff all the time.

Let's see if anything even comes of this before we start crucifying the guy. Everyone needs to quit holding athletes on a pedestal. They are good at their sport, nothing else. Next time the local manager of your local McDonalds gets cited for reckless driving, I hope you are all as outraged.

Odds are the other driver wasn't an excellent driver either, unless Haynseworth rammed him into the wall, accidents can usually be avoided if you drive defensively.

Not to mention, someone being an impatient ass(usually more than just one person) is what causes MOST accidents. So no, this isn't any worse than the average car accident. IT IS the average car accident, it just happens to have involved Albert Haynseworth.

The facts are irrelevant?

TimD · 03-12-2009, 08:48 PM

How is that irrelevant at all? I'm saying don't be a hypocrite and don't jump to conclusions without proper facts. I feel that's good advice in general, and I think it does affect what how people should react.

I really don't think you had any right calling me out for what I said, when you just keep making negative comments about the situation without any knowledge of the accident.

Yes he drove reckless and sped, but I don't understand why everyone is jumping down his throat like they are. Seems like everyone is overreacting.

If everyone who bashed him has a perfect driving record, then okay, I was wrong. I highly doubt that's the case.

a. Believe it or not, I'm not on trial here. He is and he did a wrong. There's no going around that. And no, not everyone makes the other people around them driving to crash.
b. Both parties are not at fault. I don't know how you came up with the idea that the guy willingly went into the median. Oh yay! That sounds fun!
c. What I do on the road, I am accountable for. What he does on the road, he is accountable for. Now he made a mistake. The fact that other people do the same thing doesn't matter. If they cause an accident, they are wrong as well. He doesn't get a free pass because others have done it. Wow. Just wow.
d. I never said he was Pacman. Should I type slower? I just said pro athletes who find themselves in repeated trouble find themselves out of the league or in jail... and this is not Big Al's first time facing trouble.

Hey, people bash Barry Bonds on a sports forum and he never has had real evidence put against him. Athletes who put themselves in situations that negatively affect their reputation are subject to public ridicule. It comes with the territory of being in the public eye.

locseti · 03-12-2009, 08:53 PM

This happened in December, get out the way before Fat Al forces you into the median. That's just how he rolls Grandma.
