If true, who cares? Did any other players fail the test?
The guy is a 340 pound immovable object, not a WR or DB.
They are worried he is going to get hurt because he cannot run a certain routine? Silly. Put him in and let him run over some of our OL. Then see who will get hurt.Here, here.

Shanahan's ego really irks me. We get it. You have the authority to find a conditioning exercise to really push the limits of a 6'4" 315 lb human body. You can break him.

Keep up the good work, coach. Is the conditioning test the new polygraph (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2007/05/30/mike-shanahan-makes-broncos-take-lie-detector-tests/)?

Un'fing-believable. That fat bastard should be sued and then released.

Maybe it's become a battle of egos but again, all Haynesworth had to do was either participate with the team in the off-season or show up to camp in the best shape he's ever been and there wouldn't be a problem.

Shanahan (and Allen) is being tasked with changing the culture at Redskins Park from the past two years and restoring the winning tradition that's been lacking. If that means he has to be a dick about things every now and then, as long as it works in the end that's all that really matters to me

I don't think a closer offseason proximity would have made either less stubborn personally.

I think the best chance for this to work is for Albert to take to Haslett as a person and a coach he respects, and for Shanahan to stay the hell out of the way.

I also think the Skins DL coach could be a key factor in this, but I don't know very much about him (and even his name isn't coming to me off the top of my head).

Huh?

Haynesworth's conditioning has always been a problem.

It's about time somebody calls him out on it.

As a coaching technique, fine. May we all be without flaw of holding personal biases against players. As a conditioning exercise, stupid.

Almost makes me think that his restroom break was a planned stunt. Show Shanahan that you're in great condition, but don't complete the drill, forcing Shanny to make the next move.
Or maybe Shanny spiked his water, ya know force him to have to use the bathroom. That'll teach him!
