albert haynesworth signed withe redskins for 100 million with 41 mill garunteed over 7 years.

thank god that fat peice of crap, bad attitude, over rated , over payed, lazy ass is not going to be a part of our team.

i bet that the redskins will cut him in the next 2 or 3 years, when they stilll suck and albert doesnt even show up to the games, think about this, who can the redskins sign onto their team now that they have no money left?

Amen. I felt a swift kick in the stomach when i heard the news. In the 80's, I remember debating my friend of which paper was better, the Denver Post or the Rocky Mountain News. Not that we knew what we were talking about. I now live in Austin, TX and our paper sucks. I found myself reading online RMN all the time.

Many were on one year contracts. That said, the ones there is signifigant money wrapped up in or who have multiyear deals will get to prove themselves over the summer and maybe into camp. I can't forsee that us having more than three or four RB's to start the season.

I know this isn't really the right place but everyone checks the newest comments, and we're likely to sign both Buckhalter and JJ Arrington tomorrow.

this makes me very relieved as it appears the draft will now almost positevly be 100% D.

Both would be good splitting time with Hillis, and maybe Torian can work his way up.

i should clarify re main-stream-media talent: i think collinsworth is similarly insightful (and more opinionated, which i think legwold needs to work on), but obviously collinsworth operates in a different format.

agreed about legwold, but i would go farther and say he's the finest football writer i know, period. he's the only main-stream-media guy i know that puts in real analysis and film study. a good example is how he broke down route running b/w royal and marshall -- mind you, he didn't regurgitate what other talking heads said; he actually studied film and pointed out that cutler throws later in the route to marshall due to apparent lack of confidence in marshall's routes.

i've written him a number of times, and i've also written to ESPN telling them to replace williamson (idiot) with legwold to cover the afc west. i think broncos fans should all do the same.

I agree that RMN was a little better when compared to the Post and for people living outside of Colorado like myself I was grateful for their online news coverage. It is sad and hopefully the post will pick up the slack.

That sucks. One of my fondest childhood memories is sitting on one of my grandparents laps while they read the Rocky. The smell of newspaper always reminds me of them now. Being up here in WA state, I have missed that publication, and am still searching for one that remotely compares. I don't think I will ever find it.

Here's to hoping all of the employees at the Rocky find gainful employment soon in this brave new world of internet media.

Wow, I had no idea it was over for the Rocky, I grew up with that paper!
I always liked it better growing up due to the format of it, then got to know the writers as I understood sports as I was growing up and playing sports myself.
Now I read the online version daily from my office in Portland Oregon.
I am truly sad to hear the news.
Farewell to an old companion!!

RIP Rocky Sports.

I LOVE reading the paper, and the Rocky Mountain news was a very good paper. It actually was named a top 10 sports section in the whole nation this past year. Sad the newspaper is dying.

Good tribute!
