Albert Haynesworth, who has to be one of the National Football League's all-time leaders in conversation created/actual time spent playing ratio, has been suspended by the team for the remaining four games of the the season. Haynesworth's final 2010 statistics: 8 games, 16 tackles, 2.5 sacks, $14.3 million earned.

Earlier today, I called Commissioner Stern to apologize, and I hope we will be able to talk soon. I look forward to the day I can return to basketball.

No matter what you may think of Agent Zero at this point, you gotta admit this is one crappy birthday present:

"Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game," commissioner David Stern said in a statement Wednesday. "Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA." more ›
