Haynesworth fails conditioning test

[12thMan]

But see that's part of the issue here, his conditioning. I mean really, does Albert Haynesworth, of all people, have the luxury of sitting out yet two more weeks; not participating, not meshing with his teammates, not learning the system? I think not.

This is becoming a no-win situation for all parties involved. On one hand I support Shanny's approach, but on the other it's time to play football. This is something that could have and should have been dealt with prior to Fat Al receiving his $21 million.

It's water under the bridge now and we need to get ready for the Dallas Cowboys. And love it or hate, we need Haynesworth to be in the middle to stop that three-headed beast from Dallas.

I agree, but if he isn't playing games, and his knee is a serious issue, better just stay out til it heals and gets treated than trying to force the issue and maybe have him get truly messed up. The franchise has a lot invested in AH, make sure he is healthy should be a priority. Not makingexcuses, the guy's conditioning truly sucks for losing 35 lbs. Maybe he aggravated his knees as a result of slimming down 35 lbs. Maybe he over did it. Who knows? He could be hiding the extent of his knee problems. That is a different slant. Maybe he overdid it losing the 35 lbs and his knees have been aggravated as a result. If that is the case, he should just come clean and not try and force it.

Don't believe that shower incident happened today, thought that was a while ago

I saw it today, the world revolves around me, ergo it happened today.

Good post. Honestly I don't get where all these ppl are getting the "oh he's faking it" or other stuff like that. Everything I've heard from MS doesn't insinuate this at all. I've come around to MS approach to this, despite turning this into a circus, he has humbled AH in front of everyone. he'll be on the field and he'll practice eventually.

I look forward to seeing MS accomplish something that no other coach in Snyder's tenure has accomplished...take a talented (and troublesome) player and make him produce on the field for us.

Like CNN was running tape of Pee Wee Herman, Lady Gaga, and the Lesbian formerly known as Chastity Bono successfully complete the shuttle runs today........

[ethat001]

Just saw that video of Golic doing this. This dude hasn't been training for this and ran it without much problems. Since Haynesworth just had this test on Thursday, Golic couldn't have even practiced this more than 3-4 days. Wikipedia lists him at 265, but I'd bet he's gained a few more than that from the video.

This is not climbing Mount Everest. It's hard, but HE'S AN "ATHLETE". Should be able to do this. Shouldn't hurt his knee from running up and down the field.

Now I agree going into the 2nd week you start to let it go. But I'd say I agree with Shanahan so far. He didn't ask much, and Haynesworth is just embarassing himself. Now how do you glue the team back together.

Sounds about right.

[CRedskinsRule]

The Skins will probably pass AH just so JReid gets it wrong ...

I am curious, trying to ignore team allegiance, which do people think is worse, D Revis' stated holdout, or AH's showing up, but failing/flaunting the conditioning test?

Which has a worse effect on their respective team?

Which is more abrasive and/or dysfunctional?

Will either one have more of an effect on their respective team's season?

I tend to think Revis' is the worst, but it is a very close call in my mind. I also think neither one will really impact the team's season.

Both are terrible in their own way but AH's situation is worse cause he already got paid. To me showing up not ready to ball after you've made 32 mil in one year is just the ultimate form of disrespect. It's your job to be in the best shape possible. WTF else to you have to do during the off season? Revis should show up and work it out while being in camp so he's almost just as worse. It seems like the guy is obsessed about getting more than the guy at Oakland. What a selfish dick.
