While I might not be the avid Washington Redskins fan like several others here on staff, I am a football fan, and thus my attentions have turned to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth this off season. The tackle decided he no longer wanted to play for the Redskins when the team switched to a 3-4-style defense, instead of the 4-3 style it played the previous year when Haynesworth signed his monstrous contract (i.e., seven years and $100 million, with a $21 million bonus April 1).
