BTW I hope his new role on the team lasts for the rest of his tenure as our owner, and I do appreciate his desire to bring a Super Bowl back to DC.

[quote=Pocket$ $traight;718672]You are right Scud. ESPN has a long history of giving the Redskins a fair shake since Snyder has owned them. Couple that with the equal coverage of Revis possibly skipping the entire year (on a team that should be much more relevant to the nation than Washington) is further proof that I am wrong.

[B] I never said the media shouldn't write anything about him but these jerk-offs who consistently use him as a punchline and say things about him that they would never say to his face are the ones who are gutless. [/B]

Btw, when a starting QB goes out there is a much better chance of victory. The Ravens won a championship putting out starting QBs on almost a weekly basis.[/quote]

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

He passed the test. But let's be honest. AH is not Reggie White, he's not that type of player. Never has been and never will be. He doesn't have the drive to be a great player. He'll be out of the league in two years.

Well, well guess who Revis's uncle is? None other than the other "fat ****" Sean Gilbert!!

He's getting some great advice from him:

The possibility that it could be a long holdout isn't out of the question. Revis' uncle, former NFL defensive lineman Sean Gilbert, sat out the entire 1997 season in a contract dispute. Gilbert, whom Revis confides in, ended up getting traded from Washington to Carolina and got the big payday he sought.

Role model: "My uncle, Sean Gilbert, played in the NFL for 12 years. Every step I took, from high school to college to the pros, he taught me what I needed to do. I'm just blessed to have an uncle go through what I'm going through.

Didn't know that Gilbert was his uncle. That thing was a mess back in 97. Revis deserves a pay raise but he needs to realize that he simply isn't going to get 15 mil a year.

Some where Cerrato is thinking if he could have just traded away our entire draft to get Revis we would have been won the Super Bowl.

The Ravens won a Super Bowl by playing just not good but "Great Team Defense"......not cheap or dirty football .I suggest you go back and see how many QB's they really did knock out of a game .

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

I was at camp on Saturday for Fan Appreciation Day. He came out in pads with the rest of the team at 10:30ish a.m.

I was at the field at 9 a.m. and there were NO players out there, so either they had him outside at sunrise or they did it in the hallways inside the building...I guess they didn't want him to fail in front of a massive crowd. :D

It was good to see him participating though. Fans were mocking him the entire time, but he was out there.

When the word "media" is mentioned and the various perceptions of them are noted, oftentimes we as readers and listeners have a tendency to lump them all together, the plural becomes singular.

Today's media are not all lacking in responsibility. What we do find though [espically in the world of sports] is a highly opinionated group, reporting, not based on facts but strictly on their opinions. Opinion reporting always has to be taken with a grain of salt. One could be safe in characterizing much of it as discussion as opposed to the actual reporting of facts as they occur.

For people like myself, first ordained in the world of sports reporting prior to the Huntley - Brinkley years where there was 25 min on news and 5 min of sports on a daily basis, what goes on in that same world today could easily be described as shock and awe.

There are plenty of "media twerps" who would not bow down to Haynesworth. If you think Mark Schlereth, who like it or not is media now, would bow down to Haynesworth, you're kidding yourself.

Agreed,I would put Warren Sapp in that group,althought he's not a favorit of mine ....this was very good.I for one think the 3-4 would better for AH and at the nose guard he'd be all pro every year.This was on the NFL network last night.

Can anyone help me out? I want to make a custom Madden cover of the whole Haynesworth conditioning test debacle. I need to find a funny photo for the main image. I remember seeing one of Albert looking totally annoyed and disinterested while a coach helped him stretch. I know kind of a needle in a haystack deal, but there are plenty of photos of Albert looking uninspired. If anyone could help me find that one, I'd be so appreciative. The look on his face was classic.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Fyi

Haynesworth was the last player to arrive at Fedex today. I was watching CSN and he either showed up at 5:28 or 6:28. I didnt get home till 6, but i think it might have been a tape of ealier in the day (the ending number was definitely 28 though).

I hope players didnt have to be there by the half hour mark, cause he was just kind of strolling in. They talked about it a little bit in the pregame show, i dont think its a huge deal but there might be a little bit to it. Maybe Haynesworth is still trying to make a point?

That they injured several quarterbacks. Thing is, the Giants were such dogshit in the Super Bowl the Ravens were better off with Collins in.

Worry about your flimsy D-linemen. We have the best in the game.

[B]Albert Haynesworth sidelined
[/B]
Associated Press

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has been sidelined for another practice, this time with lingering effects from dehydration.

Haynesworth was a spectator again during Wednesday's workout. He stood to the side, flipping through the pages of a play book titled "Washington Redskins Defense 2010 Training Camp."

Haynesworth had to stop practicing early during Tuesday's session. Coach Mike [B][I][U]Shanahan said he didn't think at the time that it was heat-related because Haynesworth "was only out there for about 10 minutes." [/U][/I][/B]The trainers later said Haynesworth was indeed dehydrated.

Haynesworth missed the first nine days of training camp practice because he failed a conditioning test and was hampered by a sore knee.

[/QUOTE]

Sure, he could have been dehydrated, but the guy had his problems AFTER 10 MINUTES OF PRACTICE YESTERDAY. It's almost impossible to have problems by then. It has been relatively cool in the mornings, and the practices start at 8:30am. Seriously??

If he was dehydrated, he should feel better in about 1-2 hours after getting fluids. If he was really pushed (ie. at the end of the day), he could actually get muscle soreness that could last for several days (lactic acid buildup in muscles). BUT, that wasn't his case, because again, HE COMPLAINED OF PROBLEMS 10 MINUTES INTO THE PRACTICE.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

I'm just going to say this...there was no curfew for the players on Monday night. So...a lot of guys were "dehydrated" yesterday. Some more than others

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Making something out of nothing. IF AH doesn't make an ass of himself before and at the start of camp this would be a one sentence blurb in the Post or any Sports section in the papers or on the net. THe drama for the most part is over with, but anything AH does that can draw ire will. All it means is that camp is pretty lame, not much controversy or injuries to really report on.
