Alberts nearly broke? shocker

More revisionist history! He arrived in Washington so out of shape that he couldn't pass the minimum physical standards to even practice. So exactly when and where did he lose his passion for football? It certainly wasn't with the Redskins in D.C.

I think it was the instant he signed the huge contract. He was set for life then and he decided that he didn't have to work anymore because he was going to get paid no matter what. Everything he said about proving that he was worth the money, his desire to be in the HOF, etc. was disingenuous.

Also, I have never in my nearly 60 years of following the Redskins seen another Redskins player give up on a play and lie on the field resting while the play continued. That incident in Philly said far more about him than the baloney he's regurgitating now.
