Tom Curran of NBCSports.com reports that Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who supposedly learned his lesson after getting a five-game suspension for treating Andre Gurode's face like a block of gouda last season, was back to his old grumpy self in training camp on Sunday.

Writes Curran: "Things initially got chippy when defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch took running back Len[Wh]ale White off his feet during the touch-but-don't-tackle session. From there, guard Jacob Bell got involved and Haynesworth locked up with him in a scrap that lasted about eight seconds.

"Later, after corner Nick Harper picked off Vince Young, Bell whacked corner Reynaldo Hill during the runback from the blindside, infuriating Haynesworth.

"With the units switching up, Vanden Bosch, Haynesworth and defensive lineman Tony Brown were jawing and walking toward the offensive group prompting head coach Jeff Fisher to tell them to get back with the defense.

"Once there, Young yelled to Haynesworth, 'Come on, we're a team here.'

"An inflamed Haynesworth . . . said something back to Young which caused tight end Bo Scaife to take up for Young (albeit from a distance).

"Haynesworth then said to nobody in particular, 'Be a [expletive] man and step up, *****.'

After practice, Haynesworth explained himself to Curran:

"That's just how we are here on this defense. The Tennessee Tyrants. That's what we're bringing back. The first few years we were good when I came in and we were the Tennessee Tyrants. We were playing hard, didn't care what anyone thought and that's what we're going to get back to. We can't apologize for going hard."
