I know they will but will they be allowed to be at the park? I'm thinking its a closed practice? other then Redskins TV.

You can believe Jason Reid/RI will find somethng negative to blog about Haynesworth (even if he has to text teammates) despite the fact mass media will be absent. From the end of April through May JR posted approx. 40 blogs, 21 were about Haynesworth and all virtually saying the same thing.

I look for Haynesworth to be a constant topic of discussion, for better or worse, for the duration of this season and maybe beyond.

Well that news will give Jared a week's worth of tweets.

Is Hall bipolar? From the same interview:

Redskins Insider - Teammates eagerly await Haynesworth

His teammates eagerly await his arrival. "I can't wait. I can't wait," cornerback DeAngelo Hall said Thursday afternoon after an organized team activity at Redskins Park. "I've been talking to him back and forth, texting him, we've been in communication that whole time. It'll definitely be good to see his face around here, get him to kind of see what's going on, and get him to come out here and play some football with us."

If the guy shows up in shape then the media bs will go away. He's still going to have to learn all the defenses but being in shape will calm some of the hoopla.

AH isn't going to get a joyful welcome from MS:

Haynesworth will have to catch up

“You’ll get a good feel whether he’s in shape or not. We’ll see to that,” head coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday as the club wrapped up its OTA workout.

What are you talking about BHA?

BHA, I did not take the Reid tweet quote from Hall to be damning in any way. It was simply a statement of fact: If AH no-shows, he gets fined.

So, today was the first day of mandatory mini-camp, right? Did Haynesworth show up?

It's not until next week, the 16th I believe

Okay, 16th sounded right, but then I saw this on PFT,

"Part of that contract requires him to be at this weekend's mandatory minicamp, or risk giving up 25% of this year's allocation for his signing bonus. There are also future guarantees in his deal that could void if Haynesworth doesn't show by Friday."

That's wrong. He didn't need to show up today

Looks like AP did not show up for mandatory camp. I'm surprised this hasn't blown up all over ESPN.
