Send him home!

Titan DT Albert Haynesworth stepped on Andre Gurode's head twice. Gurode, an OG, was on the ground at the end of a TD run by Julius Jones. During the play, Gurode lost his helmet, so he was on the ground without his helmet on. Haynesworth proceeded to blantantly step on his head not once, but twice. It looks like Gurode will be okay, although it looked like Haynesworth's spikes cut him open. However, Haynesworth could have easily done major, permanent damage.

This type of behavior is unacceptable. There was outrage after Marcus Vick stepped on the calf of Louisville DE Elvis Dumervill. That was bad, but Haynesworth did it twice to a guy's head! The NFL needs to take a stand that it isn't ok to be a thug on the field (or off, but that is a totally different subject altogether). Haynesworth should be suspended without pay for at least the rest of this season. Just send him home! I wouldn't automatically reinstate him at the beginning of next year either.

Haynesworth was pleading with the official and Titans Coach Jeff Fisher after the play. I can't imagine what he was saying. But, obviously, if he was trying to state his case he doesn't realize that there is absolutely no justification for his actions. Did Gurode say something about his mom? Seriously, the league shouldn't make an example of Haynesworth. That wouldn't be fair. But, I think his action was far more reprehensible than being caught with drugs, performance enhancing or otherwise. The league should make sure Haynesworth is remorseful and has been punished sufficiently before they allow him back into the league, if they ever do.
