NFL player says team should cut him
and no, it isn't Fat ALbert! It is one of his former Deadskin teammates, though:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/DeAngelo-Hall-says-that-the-Redskins-should-cut-?urn=nfl-wp12222

The mercurial veteran has always been inconsistent, which makes him a tougher read — he's prone to scads of interceptions followed by major dry spells in which opposing receivers are able to use him as a practice turnstile.

That's what made Hall's take on his effectiveness after the Redskins lost to the Dallas Cowboys so interesting. In that 27-24 overtime defeat, Hall was burned for two touchdowns (you can see him dragging behind tight Jason Witten(notes) on one of them in the picture above), and he allowed the long third-down completion to Dez Bryant(notes) that set up Dallas' winning field goal. Bryant's first-quarter touchdown was particularly ugly, as Hall got posterized on a stutter-go route and was 5 yards behind by the time Bryant hit the end zone.

What did Hall think of his value to the Redskins after that game? Pretty simple — he believed that the team should release him.

"I can't point a finger at anybody but myself," he said. "The way I'm playing right now, they need to go cut me, because I'm definitely not worth what I'm getting. You can't slip. I'm the reason we lost the game. Second time in a row against Dallas. I'm definitely a little P.O.'d at myself."
