Apparently two 300 yard shuttle runs was the conditioning test. I'll go out on a limb and say that he was set up to fail that. 300 lbs man doing that in the heat we had today is insane

My dad could have done it after he broke his hip when he was 80.

It's 1800 feet guys. Altogether.

That's not that far.

Very few players have find the exit on Mike Shanahan's doghouse. Albert Haynesworth has a better shot at patching things up with his teammates then he dose the Head Coach.

Albert Haynesworth failed the second part of his physical because he had to go to the bathroom and had to restart the second part from the beginning and was therefore to tired to finish.

That Is too funny.

I know this is the wrong forum but thought it was good for a laugh.

Hey, hey, hey...it's Fat Albert!

This is going to get ugly.


He didn't get a set time so he was going to be "failed" no matter what he did. The problem is that others on the team didn't have to take the same test. There'll be a greivance filed by morning and it won't be pretty.

Here's FoxSports take on the situation.

FoxSports.com, which first reported the story, said that Haynesworth finished the first part of the test but walked through the second part.

Why would t here be a grievance filed?

The other players all took part in the off season conditioning program, hence they didn't have to do it. AH chose not to and therefore had to pass a test.

Now, Mike Shanahan was going to make sure he didn't pass the test. Not sure what the grevience would be.

"Coach was too mean to me!!!"

I am sure he'll "pass" tomorrow

pretty sure fitness test are normal. Terrence Cody failed the Ravens fitness test as well.

Well, as Marshall Faulk has so eloquently pointed out, none of this is a distraction because for Haynesworth its not all about the $$$, it more about the HOF and where he needs to play to have that legacy. And if Shanahan can't respect that then he needs to understand that Haynesworth can a will fake an injury not to play.

All this is NOT a distraction and totally normal and healthy.

Someone needs to tell Faulk that Haynesworth is nowhere close to being a HoFer no matter what scheme he plays. He is a good player, but I have yet to see him play at a HoF level over a full season. for the 8 years he has been in the league.

Faulk suggested Haynesworth was a HOF calibar player?

Now THATS freaking hilarious. Thats even more funny than Fatsworth flunking the conditioning test.

On ESPNnews, they reported that the test is two 300 yard runs. They reported that he passed the test, but Shannahan said he took too long a break between the two runs and thus asked him to run a third one.

At this, Haynesworth told the coach that he couldn't run 3-300 yard runs even in his pro-bowl years (sort of implying that it was silly and had nothing to do with football).

Shannahan considers that a failure and won't let him practice until he does pass it to his satisfaction.

-----That's the report given on ESPNnews. I have no sympathy for that fat SOB, but it does sound like Shanny is giving him the business a bit to make a point. This could get nasty, but I'm guessing fatty will pass it tomorrow. I have a feeling the Commanders are almost hoping fatboy is insubordinate at some point, at which time they can fine or suspend him and make him really feel it in the pocketbook.

Should be interesting.

Shanahan's message to the team

"Don't **** with me, I am the one in charge"

Good change from the madness of a year ago

I'm surprised that Shanahan and Fat Albert haven't teamed up and gotten on the same page...
...given their propensity for dirty play.

We've been very critical -- and rightfully so -- of Commanders defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, whose refusal to attempt to earn more than $30 million he has been paid by the team was punctuated by a decision not to show up for a mandatory minicamp.

But it's important to remember that Haynesworth isn't exactly beating up on a singing-impaired choir boy. Coach Mike Shanahan has, in our estimation, taken a few liberties with reality when it comes to the Haynesworth situation, and we're now beginning to believe that Shanahan intentionally gave Haynesworth a conditioning test that Shanahan knew he would fail.

Per a league source (and forgive me if someone else has reported this, but power is out at our undisclosed beach location and I'm trying to conserve the battery in my laptop and my Sprint mobile hot spot, which is performing incredibly well during an intense barrage of lightning), Haynesworth completed the assigned pair of 300-yard shuttle runs, but Shanahan then decided that he had too much rest between the two attempts, due to a bathroom break.

The source says that Shanahan told Haynesworth that he "needed to get in shape." Haynesworth then said that he couldn't have completed three 300-yard shuttle runs even in his Pro Bowl/All-Pro years.

Said Shanahan in response, "I guess you have never been in shape then." (It's unknown whether Shanahan then said, "Boom. Roasted.")

It's currently our understanding that Haynesworth was the only lineman required to pass the conditioning test. Though some may contend that those who participated in the offseason program earned an exemption, it's our understanding that the test is imposed to ensure that the player is ready to withstand the rigors of training camp. Just because the rest of the players participated in the offseason program, which concluded more than a month ago, doesn't mean they're still in shape. So all of them should have to pass it, or none of them should be expected to try.
