Haynesworth's Mega-ish Deal

Albert Haynesworth, you need a new agent. Or, bad sportswriting is not always the fault of the reporter.

An AP headline blazed “Haynesworth gets 7-year, $100 deal from Redskins,” and opened up the possibility for a million and one economy/stimulus jokes. Disappointingly, the body of the article correctly states that the deal is a $100 million deal…well, as correctly as the value of any NFL contract is stated and anyway far closer to the real value that $100.

Unfortunately.

For one hot minute, my chosen career seemed awfully lucrative.
