Really? Wow, does that mean they are going to hold him out of practice again? This is really discomforting...If he is in such great shape, it shouldn't be too difficult to pass a conditioning test should it?

Any other details other than just the fact that he failed SS?

I mean it's hard to expect the guy to just pop in in-shape enough this morning, this is going to take a few days probably. Al needs to be in the weight/cardio area instead of his car though.

at 50 yards per interval it's hard to even call it a true shuttle... 600 yards is a THIRD of a mile, with a break halfway through

Haha...try Wheaties, Al...your peanut butter brownie sundae breakfast diet isn't working.



(to be fair, he HAS lost weight, but his motivation went with it)

If so, a trade might not be far away, given the precedent.

I love how Shanahan is like an Army drill sergeant. I bet Owens would be failing some tests too if he came in with an arrogant attitude.

The other guys watching this happen to Haynesworth are going to work very hard to stay in line all year I bet. He's making an example out of AH, but is probably solidifying the rest of the team in the process. He's an evil genius.


This is awesome:

So he was banished to a solo workout on a treadmill on Thursday as the rest of the team practiced outside. Later, after practice was over and the fans were heading toward their cars, he was dragged out for a scramble around trash cans on a far-off field. When he was done he was forced to jog a gauntlet of fans, past the media and back into the safety of the locker room.

Predictably, he did not speak to anyone during his walk of shame.

Either Al will be leaving shortly, or Shanahan will break him down and force him into a weak position where all he can do is get in line and quietly abide by the rules to avoid any more public humiliation. Shanahan's not going to be the one to back down in this situation.
