Why are the 'Skins even wasting their time and money on this LOSER?!? Prima Donnas like this are why I won't watch football anymore.

If a team takes him they are pretty desperate but then again I never thought Ocho and T.O. would play on the same team either.

Eight-Five and Tee-Ohhh will be the league's first ghey couple to sprint out of the closet. Probably will merge their "reality" shows and adopt some kids, as well.
Bungals are desperate to win something before that window of opportunity slams shut. Not gonna happen, but it's still funny to watch.

As for Fat Albert, no duh!!!! Who didn't see that train wreck coming ?

You had to see this coming. The is a subjective test that the coaches decide go or no go. This is the Skins saying Albert who is your Daddy.

Apparently he failed his second day try by 1 second. So, that guy was hustling through those 50 yard shuttles. They only get about 30 seconds in between sets.

ASHBURN, Va. • Early Friday morning, the cones were lined up 25 yards apart on the field for Albert Haynesworth's conditioning test. He needed to complete the first part in 70 seconds or less to have a chance to pass.

He clocked 71.

Another failed effort. Once again, the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle was not allowed to participate in practice at Washington Redskins training camp.

And so the Haynesworth saga continues. By now, some coaches or organizations would have worked out some sort of a behind-the-scenes compromise in the name of team harmony and good publicity, especially with one measly second hanging in the balance. Not Mike Shanahan. The rules are the rules are the rules for the Redskins' new coach, no matter who the player is.

"Either you play by the rules, you're gone or you'll get fined, one of the two," fullback Mike Sellers said. "He's a no-nonsense guy."

Perhaps Haynesworth didn't see it coming, especially after spending last season under laid-back, player-friendly coach Jim Zorn. Or perhaps he thought by now he'd be playing for another team.

Either way, Haynesworth has learned the hard way that going toe-to-toe with Shanahan is not a good idea: Shanahan is going to win.

"He wants to come in and put a lot of discipline in this thing," defensive end Phillip Daniels said.

So, for Haynesworth, the second day of training camp was much like the first. After failing the test, he was sent inside to do treadmill and agility work while the rest of the team practiced.

Shanahan had previously declined to reveal the details of Haynesworth's conditioning test, but on Friday the team sent out strength and conditioning coach Ray Wright to give a full breakdown.

Haynesworth, explained Wright, was the only player required to take the test because he was the only player not to attend 50 percent of the team's offseason workouts. However, the players did run the same drill as part of those workouts in the spring.

The test consists of 300 yards of sprints — called a 'shuttle" — back and forth 25 yards at a time. It has to be run twice, with only a 3 1/2-minute break in between. The short break demonstrates that the player can recover quickly. Linemen have to run the first shuttle in 70 seconds, the second one in 73 seconds.
Haynesworth clocked 70 seconds on the first shuttle when he tried to pass the test Friday — but he then violated the test's rules by taking an extended potty break.

"He had to use the restroom," Wright said. "You get 3 1/2 minutes. He was gone close to 10."

So Haynesworth had to start all over again and failed.

On Friday, his first shuttle took 71 seconds, so there was no need to run the second one. He'll try again today.

Shanahan called the drill a "very minimal test" and that "most people could do this test in their sleep." He said he is confident Haynesworth will eventually pass.

"I don't want to put a guy out there before he's ready, before I know he's in shape," Shanahan said. "I know it's the best thing for him. He may not know that at this time, but I can guarantee you, the big linemen that I've been with, the guys that are in the trenches, they still need to be in shape."

Haynesworth, entering the second year of a seven-year, $100 million contract, stayed away from the team's offseason program because he wanted to work with his own trainer and because he is unhappy with the switch to a 3-4 defense. He was hoping the Redskins would trade him rather than make him report to camp.

No excuses. He is plain and simply out of shape. Had he shown up for the voluntary off season workouts he wouldnt be made to take a test anyway. He did it to himself! I highlighted his actual test so there is no confusion about times or what he actually did.
