This is a little bit older news but wanted to get it posted up.
D.C. police are investigating an allegation that Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth sexually assaulted a waitress in a D.C. hotel.
Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, confirmed that his client was the subject of the complaint but denied the 29-year-old defensive tackle is guilty of any wrongdoing.
According to the police report, a waitress at the W Hotel stated that her hands were full as she cleared a table Haynesworth was sitting at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
The report said Haynesworth, identified as Subject 1, tried to give the waitress his credit card and asked if he could place it in her blouse. The waitress nodded, and Haynesworth placed the card into her blouse and began caressing her breast, the report says.
While Haynesworth is not named in the report, the police department source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Subject 1 referred to the Redskins lineman. The report, which was filed at 5:15 a.m. Sunday, describes the suspect as a "heavy/fat/stocky" black male with a goatee, and about 6 feet 6 or 6 feet 7.
Charges have yet to be filed, as the investigation is ongoing, police said. The allegation was first reported Monday by WRC Channel 4.
The accusation is the latest negative development for Haynesworth, whom the Redskins suspended without pay for the final four games of the season in December, citing conduct detrimental to the team.
On Saturday, he was formally charged with assault in connection with an alleged road rage incident that took place on the Fairfax County Parkway in Reston on Feb. 2. A driver accused Haynesworth of hitting him while he was sitting in his car. Haynesworth was scheduled to appear in court on March 31.
Fat Al sucks, man.

State of the Caps
With 25 regular season games remaining, the Caps find themselves 5 points out of SE Divisional leading Tampa Bay and the number 6 seed in the playoffs which would match them up with Boston in the first round.
The Caps defense and Penalty Kill has been much better this season as compared to last year. However, their PP and offensive scoring has been WAY down compared to last year. We all know what happened in the playoffs last year and everyone talked last year that we weren't built for the playoffs and defense wins championships and all that so while I haven't been thrilled with the Caps play this season, I have largely held off on my judgements and will reserve them come playoff time.
Honestly, it doesn't matter what this team does in the regular season. This team will be judged by what they do in the playoffs. Still, we have got to get the PP going and have got to get some more scoring. I'm all for strong defense but if we don't score goals, we can't win games.
I remember last year there were times we were 3 goals down but we had the fire power to just turn it on and we were able to come back. That feeling is not there this year. I'm fine with that. As long as the coaches and players are good with it, I'm good. Again, the test will be when the playoffs start.

Santana Moss to become a FA
The guy is 31 years old and coming off of a solid year. I like Moss but he really isn't a true #1 WR. He also drops a lot of passes and then just taps his chest as if to say, "my bad." I'd like to keep him but would not want to spend the kind of money that he is probably looking for.
Good luck, SanTANA!

Brett Favre who?
Perfect ending for a perfectly horrible year for Brett Favre. The guy sucked this year. His team sucked. Strong allegations of personal misconduct came out against him. He got battered and bruised (leg, arm, head). His sister was busted at a drug house. Then to top it off his former team wins the Super Bowl.
The interesting thing is that Rodgers has become one of the best QBs in the league. People forget that when he took over after Favre left, GB fans were booing him. The guy has handled himself with professionalism and class and on top of it has performed unbelievably.
It’s also interesting because again, if Favre had just left when he originally retired, he would still be loved in GB. He will always be one of the best players to have played the game. There is no disputing that. However, he is not nearly as loved in GB country as he used to be. He could have been legendary there. Instead, it’s like Brent Who? It has become Aaron Rodgers team and he is the guy loved. Again, not just for his play but for his class.

D. Hall gets MVP of Pro Bowl
Congrats to D. Hall for being the MVP of the Pro Bowl. The guy stripped a WR for the ball and ran it in for a TD and had an INT as well.
He had a solid year for the Skins and it's nice for him to come away with the MVP in the Pro Bowl.

Skins lose
Lets be clear. The Giants didn’t win the game. The Skins lost it. Again, a lack of consistency as the Skins were much better in the second half. The difference in the game was turnovers. Here are my thoughts:
1. Rexy was okay. He made some good throws and in the second half was keeping drives alive. However, he does not seem to have that great of a pocket presence and a sense of when the pocket is collapsing. He never really has and again, that cost us. He fumbled twice and his one INT was bad. However, his deep pass to Armstrong was a great pass over the middle and just the quick strike type of throw we could use. Again, if he proves to be our QB next year, I don’t have a problem with him but I see him only as a bridge until we get some one else.
2. Turnovers killed us. As mentioned above, the INT was bad and Rexy’s two fumbles didn’t help. Seems like he cannot feel the pocket collapsing and he also has a hard time holding on to the ball if he is going to get hit. Moss’s fumble was critical as it came deep in Giant territory. The worst part about it is that he looked like he was covering up to protect the ball but it still came out.
3. Gano sucks! I know he was named the NFC Special Teams player of the week last week (not sure why). However, he sucks. He missed a 30 yarder that could potentially have been the difference in the game. Loved after his miss the shot of him on the sidelines looking shocked as he was talking to the holder and the snapper. Kickers are expendable and we need someone more dependable.
4. Defense was strong. Another good performance by the D. We stopped the running game and held the Giants to 82 yards on 32 attempts (2.6 avg.). We were able to get pressure on Eli and really didn’t give much up outside of the big play they had. Felt pretty good about the D. Like this guy Bryant at NT.
5. McNabb. Interesting shot of McNabb on the sideline standing by himself. He looked totally removed from the team and the action. It was kind of sad but at the same time it is obvious that he is not going to be part of the team moving forward. Sad that he ran the scout team this past week. I understand it is embarrassing and it’s best for everyone to move forward. I wish him the best as he is a class act. Although, I didn’t like the way he conducted himself the last week or so where it seemed that he was talking out of both sides of his mouth.
6. Terrence Austin. Liked his play. He made some nice catches and brought some excitement which was good.
7. O line solid. The O line has been shuffled around the last couple of weeks but we seem to have found the best fit with the guys that were in there. They went up against arguably the best front four in football and did an admirable job.
The season is over. I was ambitious to go 8-8 this year. We ended up 6-10. The year was up and down but I did like the way the team finished. We fought hard until the end. I did like that we were able to look at some guys the last few games and it helped evaluate as we move forward. It’s clear some guys will no longer be part of the plans moving forward. The year can best be remembered by the Haynesworth and McNabb sagas. It will be good to not have to deal with those two distractions next year. I do feel like we made progress this year. There are things to build off of and it will be interesting to see the moves made during the offseason.
