Albert Haynesworth passes Redskins' conditioning test

Now I can die in peace...

Praise be to Fat ALa

Great - now fire his lazy ass.

OK, he passed. Now can you give the guy some respect, or are you going to insult him some more before going over to jk off on the confederate flag on the editorial page?

Considering it takes the body about two weeks to adapt to aerobic conditioning, this was a matter of willpower, not getting in better shape since his first attempt. I'm sure Shanny knew this; coaches can tell when a player is giving it their all.

They probably gave him a pass in order to stop the distractions and get him working with the team. How could he have improved his conditioning with his knee hurting so much?

obviously this was done early in the am so no other players or the press generally would witness what was obviously a face saving gesture for big albert and "i need elway so i win a playoff game" shanahan.

I for one am suspicious that he really did pass the test considering he's been out for a while with his "knee problem" and hasn't been able to condition himself in that time. Also isn't it interesting how he passed it at the crack of dawn this morning, when there wasn't likely to be any witnesses ;)

Alright Albert I knew you would do it

"They probably gave him a pass in order to stop the distractions and get him working with the team. How could he have improved his conditioning with his knee hurting so much?"

Oh I doubt that!!! Albert didn't get any pass. The new sheriff isn't big on free passes. Plus entrenched reporters and cameras are everywhere. As soon as that MRI proved it was just sore and not injured...Albert was doing that test and passing it very soon. They said he'd been flying on the treadmill lately.

Now he can get to practicing and we can get about the business of smashing Dallas in Game 1.

BTW, is Cosby getting royalties off the moniker "Fat Albert" ? Can we expect to see Fat Albert on the "Biggest Loser" anytime soon?

Wow Nemo, you really don't have a clue.

Haynesworth passed . . . and JFK was shot by a lone gunman. Shannahan knows he needs AH to win this year and Shanny realized the charade had gone on long enough, so AH "passed." Any video of AH's major accomplishment? But who cares? Let's get to some REAL football news now.

Mu guess is that Danny stepped in and forced Shanny to pass Fat Albert.

Give the guy credit. He passed and that showed a big improvement in his conditioning. Let's quit the hate and let him show what he can do. Continuing to irrationally criticize him will get you NOTHING but a heart attack.
I was a critic of his attitude and work ethic but I'm willing to give him a chance to prove that he can be a "Redskin" and earn the fan's respect. The ridiculous amount of money he was handed was a major mistake but that can not be "un-done", so get over it an hope he can help the team make a jump in their W-L record towards their return to the playoffs and eventual greatness.
Those that can't, or won't give him a chance now are NOT Redskins fans but simply haters who have no life.

Unbelievable! Thank God! Finally!

Is it just me or does any one else here find it incredulous that fatboy could run 300 yards in less than 70 minutes, let alone, 70 secs? And do it twice? No friggin way!

This time they put Big Macs on all the end lines.

Shame on me for thinking he didn't actually run the second 300 in 73 seconds but they passed him anyway.

Did anyone witness the clock? They showed up at 6 a.m. and then bang! AH passed the test. Shanny realized his message has been heard, his point has been made and it's time to move on. The longer this soap opera is dragged, the worse Shanny and Co look. No one benefits from this.

No 330+ pounders can ever pass this test. Backs and Linebackers pass it easily but not linemen. AH passed 1 round, his money's worth it.

Second on that. It's just not a 300 yard sprint. It's 12 25-yard segments back and forth. Talking about the impact of his weight on the ankles and knees at the end of each segment as he reverses the direction.
