Now I feel like an idiot

As I was writing the last post The Post just released this:

Redskins suspend Albert Haynesworth for the rest of the season




The Redskins have suspended defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth without pay for the next four games for "conduct detrimental to the club."

Coach Mike Shanahan said Haynesworth had informed him Monday, through General Manager Bruce Allen, that he would no longer speak with Shanahan.

Here's Grant Paulsen, whom I spoke with this morning on what happened. It is a direct quote from Shanny:
Despite the club’s numerous attempts to persuade Albert Haynesworth to abide by the terms of his contract, he has repeatedly refused to cooperate with our coaching staff in a variety of ways over an extended period of time. Among other things, he has consistently indicated to our defensive coaches that he refuses to play in our base defense or on first-down or second-down nickel situations.  He has also refused to follow the instructions of our coaches both during weekly practices and during actual games as well. Yesterday, when Albert was at Redskin Park, he told our General Manager Bruce Allen that he [Haynesworth] would no longer speak with me.  Although suspending any player is not a decision that a head coach enters into lightly, I believe the situation has reached the point where the club clearly has no alternative.

Does this change your thoughts on the poll?
