Albert Haynesworth's Monday morning apology for Sunday's mis-step



prompted N Dot to comment that it's funny that public figures and celebrities try to apologize for inexplicable actions after the fact (i'm paraphrasing due to a poor decision to delete an AIM convo). Like he changed his mind about the merits of stomping on the dude's face a day later, after thinking about it.

"I apologize to Andre," Haynesworth said. "What I did was disgusting. It's something that should never happen. I mean, I'm not a dirty player. I don't play dirty. I have respect for the game. What I feel like is I disgraced the game, disgraced my team and disgraced my last name."

But I would ask.... funny how?

Did you expect Haynesworth to stay the course? To stand behind his decision to stomp on Cowboy OL Gurode's face?





Adrenline-drained, sober thinking and mop up duty ensue.



Admit no wrong doing. Stand by the stomping decision 100%. If I had to do it over again knowing everything I know today I'd do everything the same.



Machismo. Steely reserve.



What if he hadn't cut and run?



One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
