Haynesworth fails conditioning test

[saden1]

Fat Albert better get a refund from his personal trainer....how can you fail two 300 yard shuttle runs with short breaks in between?

[los panda]

because you're fat and slow

IMO i think big al took that extended "bathroom" break in between sprints to show up Shanny alil. this game of tit for tat is childish.

big al takes the money, demads a trade, etc

shanny, teammates call him out

shanny implies he is going to work big al hard when he gets back with the "we'll make sure he is in shape" comment

big al shows up, is aksed to do 2 sets of sprints that the other players dont have to do

big al takes extended bathroom break in between the sprints to say "hey i can play this game too" knowing that taking a break inbetween totally goes against the point of seeing how in shape he is and for shanny to push him alil hard for the first day

big al comes out of bathroom break and completes 2nd set of the sprints on time

Shanny says "FU you aint gonna one up me, the 1st one doesnt count b/c you took to long of a break, the one you just did after you came out of the bathroom is your 1st one, do another"

big al, now in full blown drama cry baby mode, walks thru the 2nd (really 3rd) set of sprints.

all this crap was pretty much yesterday.

now im hearing and reading he failed again today then walked his ass to his bentley? if that right? gesus this is middle school.

The resolution is simple, all the Fat Ass has to do is pass the damn test!! Then POOF! it's resolved!

He received a smattering of boo's which was to be expected, on the other hand there was at one point a group that chanted "we love you Al" so go figure.

Hear is a portion of the story written in the Post:

Sopping wet in his gray nylon long-sleeve shirt, he finally acknowledged the crowd shouting his name behind the ropes.
"We love you, Albert!" someone yelled. He raised his hand in a mock wave just in time to hear the retort. "We'd love you more if you lose 10 more pounds."

I love the bold part!

A mixed reaction I didn't expect, but I did share a quick moment with a player I won't name about the feeling of offseason workouts going foreward. Is this type participation going to be expected to continue in the future, or is/was it because the majority of the guys wanted to leave a good impression. His response was he hadn't given it much thought, but if it is expected to continue he thinks there could be more Haynesworth's in the future minus the dollars.

missed his first shuttle this morning by a single second

I believe it was actually said if he'd run 10 more laps, at least that's what was reported by several guys yesterday

Well, we'll see. I mean I love that all the players were working out at the park together...but I have never minded when players wanted to train on their own or workout elsewhere. The thing that bothered me about Haynesworth was just the mini camp that was required. If guys want to work out elsewhere next year, I wouldnt have an issue with it... of course I'm sure if we win a ton of games, guys will buy into it. If we go 6-10, then they might not.

From where I was standing I could hear the "We love you" part but little else. I know attention gazed towards the comments.

This is just awesome. All those people who were fooled by that bathroom break garbage get to realize that he isn't in proper cardio shape and he knows it, because he never has been or planned on being in good shape with reagrds to stamina in his entire freakin life.

Nobody ever made him do it.

This is the best thing that could have ever happened to him as a player and as an immature manchild.

Worst case he completely melts down and throws a tantrum and leaves Redskins Park and quite honestly that would be pretty awesome if that happened.

The age of spoiled players on this team is over.

Haynesworth still hasn't caught up to Fred Smoot's epic ability to fail the test. Just sayin'
