Albert Haynesworth comes clean......

[]Ex-Titans and Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth admits he "(lost his) passion" for football when he signed his $100 million contract in 2009. Haynesworth made the admission in a letter to his younger self on ThePlayersTribune.com. "If nothing else, listen to me on this, Albert: Do not leave the Tennessee Titans," Haynesworth wrote. "Your defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is a mastermind. No matter how much I tell you this, you’ll probably never realize it until your career is over, but it’s true. You’re like a system quarterback. You thrive in a very specific scheme." It's a humbling admission from a player who never formally retired, instead simply falling out of the league. Now 34, Haynesworth's last down came in 2011. A Letter to my Younger Self...A little long but good

In other news, Jamarcus Russell tells his younger self the dangers of too much fried foods

Can't hate him for it. I'm not too sure how passionate I'd be about a brutal sport like football after I signed a 100 million dollar deal.

I don't think older Jamarcus has figured this out yet.

It's not about money. It's about maturity and work ethic.
A guy like that would have burnt out even if he stayed in Tennessee for less money.

Crazy that he's only 34. I'd have never guessed that he was younger than I am.

What a piece of self serving crap. First you have to read through the 8 paragraphs of accolades he boast about before you get to any real content. Then its just a bunch of excuses.

Pretty good piece there

Sounds to me like a reason to let people know he's flipping houses and auditioning for a new show on HGTV.

Will he get to tap Nicole Curtis, the rehab addict?

Yeah that guy you played for in New England, that Bill Belichick guy who runs the Patriots defense is a real schmuck. He's got nothing on Jim Schwartz.

Russell probably tells his younger self to stay away from the Raiders at that time....

Haynesworth was such a dominant player for two or three years there. I've never seen a player explode and then fizzle like that.

I remember him chasing Amos Zereoue down from behind once & thinking wtf. He was a headcase, but Jesus he was good when he cared & wasn't stomping heads on TV.

Thank goodness he told us or we'd never know!

He was a beast for a short time then suddenly became a very average player.
