heck the guys on TV are saying he will get $10-20k fine and thats it. they said they would be suprised IF he gets a suspension at all (well at least one show).
he should get suspended for rest of the year +$10k per game missed.
but i suspect he will get a $10-20k fine with a game maybe 2 suspension the NFL gives pretty weak penalties

I'd do a permanent ban and make him work his way back into the league. That was extremely malicious. He took the guys helmet off and went for his head. Thats assault and battery.
10 years in Federal Prison sounds about right.
WTF.
He needs to be banned from the game. There is no excuse for removing the helmet and stepping on his face. With those metal cleats, it could also be attempted murder. I dont want to see that a@@ playing the game ever again. WTF is wrong with people nowadays.
Sigh..
He DID NOT remove the other guys helmet. It had come off during the play. Furthermore, he's owned up to it, unlike a lot of guys:
"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."
He should, and will be, suspended. But these claims that he should be "thrown in jail" are just ridiculous. Anyone that has ever played football understands that its a violent game and violent things, including things that go well beyond the rules of the game, happen, and should be dealt with within the realm of the game, not in a court.

Ok I think some of you guys are overreacting. Banned? I mean, it was a malicious thing to do, but haven't we seen those before?
Besides, we don't even know why he did it. He was probably mad at something, but we don't know what. Has he been in trouble before? I've never heard of this guy until today. You have to think about the circumstances surrounding the event.
He will no doubt be suspended for at least a few games if not the remainder of the season, and be fined heavily, but a lifetime ban just sounds outrageous.

YES BANNED.
This was blatent and intentional activities that could have seriously injured someone well past the normal roughing up that happens in football.
He doesn't deserve to play in the NFL with an attitude like that and there are thousands of other guys that would be a better fit for the job.
If you work for a company that sells things, and get outsold by some other company, do you go over there, attack their employees and beat them up? No. That's not acceptable. You'd get fired as a minimum. Why should that be acceptable in sports either?
You're absolutely right. These guys make upwards of $250,000 per game, if not more. $20,000 would be less than 10% of a weeks pay. I'm willing to bet that a ticket for driving too fast is considerably more than 10% of a week's pay to most of the people on this forum.Originally posted by: CVSiN
20k to an NFL football player is like 25 bucks to me or you.. they wont even miss it....

Like I said stop overreacting. This is football and ****** like this goes on all the time in piles (grabbing testicles, trying to break fingers) that's how it is. And, if you don't like it and the physical play and violence and hatred during the game, then as they say....go play soccer.
5 Game suspension at most, as stomping is pretty bad.

I wouldn't want to be Haynesworth when he steps on the field again. Every offensive line he faces will be trying to take him out after this.

I play soccer . Stuff like that happens also. People grab testicles, punch the kidneys, elbow to sensative areas, kick shins (not as unpainful as it may sound), and such whenever they can get away with it. Granted football is definitely much more physical, it's not as if soccer is a "sissy" sport like so many people think. If you don't like it physical, play golf .

What really pisses me off is the home crowd undieing loyalty when crap like this happens. Haynesworth gets an unsportsmanlike conduct flag for stomping a guy twice in the head... and the crowd boos like no tomorrow the call. He could have ripped off the guy's head/spinal cord Mortal Kombat style and NFL fans would still think it was an unjust call.
I love the NFL as much as anyone, but we as fans are pretty fawkin retarded.
