"Exactly one month ago today, Bill Belichick sent shock waves through the NFL by bringing noted problem child Albert Haynesworth to New England.

Belichick traded away a 2013 fifth-round draft pick to the Washington Redskins, reworked the defensive lineman's monster contract to make it more Patriots-friendly, loading the deal with incentives, and basically dared Haynesworth to play like the world-class disruptor he was not too long ago.

Since the trade was completed, the suspense has been killing us. The Haynesworth storyline is the ultimate cliffhanger. We can't wait to find out how Project Albert is going to turn out.

Are we ever going to see that game-changing defensive lineman, a player once considered the best in football? Can Belichick coax and nudge the desired effort out of someone who has a history of playing only when he feels like it?"
