<![CDATA[Tonight You're Partying With Vince Young And Albert Haynesworth]]> We didn't get invited to LenDale White's birthday party—must have been some mixup—but thankfully all the memories of hanging out with the Tennessee Titans have been preserved forever via YouTube.

LenDale's birthday was in December, when Albert Haynesworth was still in Nashville and Vince Young was still ... whatever it was he was doing back then. After the usual shout-outs and big ups and whatnot, it's just a couple guys hanging out at the club, not getting drunk on premium water sponsorships and maybe some friendly teammate bonding.

Also, I'm not sure, but I believe Haynesworth mentions Roger Goodell "having" some girl in his office? I didn't actually catch most of that, but I do like how Albert brags about being Goodell's first "real" suspension. Suspensions must have been on his mind, because this party must have taken place about a week after the car accident that left another driver in a wheelchair, which itself was just a few days after Haynesworth had been placed on probation by judge. (Hence all the water?)

But, hey, as long as Vince keeps his shirt on, no one is going to complain.

<![CDATA[Albert Haynesworth Almost Killed A Guy?]]> New Redskins tackle Albert Haynesworth has been in the news a lot lately, but the stories all seem to focus on his $100 million contract and not the car accident that left someone in a wheelchair.

On December 13, Haynesworth was driving down I-65 in Nashville in his 2008 Ferrari 599GTB. A witness said that she was going close to 80 mph in her car when Haynesworth passed her and then attempted to pass 25-year-old Corey Edmondson. Their cars allegedly touched, and then Edmondson lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the median. Did we mention that it had snowed the night before and there was still ice on the roads?

Haynesworth was cited for misdemeanor reckless driving and having an expired registration, however, the incident happened just four days after he had been fined $1,000 and put on probation for going 103 mph in a separate traffic incident from last March. He was indicted today on the December charges, but may face further legal trouble because he did not tell his probation officer about the accident.

What about Edmonson? He's been confined to a wheelchair or a walker since the accident and had to have hip replacement surgery. Friends and family have set up a fund to help pay his $230,000 in medical bills since he's been unable to work. In the meantime, Haynesworth became the highest paid defensive player in the NFL.

<![CDATA[So What Was That Ugly Red Stain on the Field During the Jets-Titans Game?]]>

Yesterday, KOGOD posted an update on the Jets-Titans game that featured what appeared to be an ominous looking giant blood stain in the middle of the field. It was speculated that Albert Haynesworth, who popped up from that spot and ran off the field clutching his face, had some sort of open facial wound, causing the resulting puddle. Nope, wasn't Hanyesworth — nor was it tight end Alge Crumpler who had a nasty forearm gash. It was actually a left over "red smoke stain" from some of the parachutists that landed on the field during halftime, according to Titans' PR man Robbie Boehren.

"But your story was much better," he said.

Yeah. It was. Mystery solved, though.
