Albert Haynesworth, an overpaid player on the Washington Redskins, flunked his conditioning test again today. Haynesworth must pass the test in order to participate in practice at training camp. He has already, therefore, missed the first two days of practice.With a new coaching regime in place in Washington, Haynesworth is being forced to adapt to a new (3-4) defense. Haynesworth is so angry about this change, that he elected to not show up to off-season workouts and minicamps, demanded a trade, and showed up to training camp out of shape and unprepared. Moreover, little does he realize that a 3-4 defense may actually improve his performance with the potential for an increase in the number of sacks. What a chump!
Here is a guy willing to risk a huge paycheck, because he not only wants to be the star player but the coach also. He is getting paid to play whatever defense his coach tells him (not whatever defense he demands). Haynesworth needs to stop whining and be an example for all the rookies out there. So Haynesworth, here is some advice: stop grubbing out, run a few sprints, and lift some weights, but most of all change your attitude - you better not fail the conditioning test a third time. (Can three strikes and your out apply to football too?)
