Albert Haynesworth pictures OMG!!1!1!

After months of writing about, listening about, reading about, obsessing about, thinking about, dreaming about, conjecturing about, noodling about, whispering about, shouting about, and remaking the world with the name, image, likeness, and Platonic ideal of Albert Haynesworth, the defensive tackle had ceased to be flesh and blood, instead morphing into some metaphysical representation of big-L Labor mixed with big-L Laziness mixed with big-L License to Chill.

So to see these actual photographs of the actual man today shook me out of my months of writing about, essentially, nothing, and made me realize: this is a man, real tendons and muscles and bones, a man with a heart and lungs and a spleen, a man with feelings and emotions, a man whom I can continue to milk for Web traffic for weeks and months to come.

These photos are via @Rich_Campbell and @RickMaese, and they appear to show a man significantly trimmer than we've seen in the past. He might have all those organs, but his belly seems to have Big-V Vanished.

Also: Haynesworth! Omg!!!!!!
