Quote of the Day

"Washington believes it is ridding itself of a player it had no intention of bringing back to its team this season, while New England is getting added help along its defensive line for a reduced price."
                                 -Adam Schefter, remarking on Albert Haynesworth being traded to the Patriots

The Dark Lord does it again, snaking a top malcontent for almost nothing (a 5th rounder).  This won't work out at well as the Randy Moss trade did, but the Football Ranter is willing to bet Haynesworth has a good year for the Pats and pundits will spend an inordinate amount of time jerking the Dark Lord off for being a visionary.  Not that it's not warranted, but yea...it'll still happen.  The only real question here is where will Haynesworth play?  The Pats already have 350lb behemoth Vince Wilfork at NT, so a second 350lb player gives the Patriots a gargantuan defensive line.  And where is the pash rush coming from?  Haynesworth isn't going to rack up 10+ sacks all on his own.  Nevermind, there's no point in questioning the Dark Lord.  He finds my lack of faith disturbing.
