The Haynesworth situation in Washington took another ugly turn, as Haynesworth has failed his conditioning test. Yet, many reports are coming out that the "test" was complete unfair.
One report says that Mike Shanahan made Haynesworth run 3 100 yard dashes, which is 1 more then anyone else on the team had to do. There is another report that says that during his conditioning test Haynesworth had to take a piss and Shanahan made him start all over from the beginning, and then he failed. Either way, it doesn't sound like it was the fairest test.
Did Haynesworth deserve this? Absolutely, and part of me thinks it is awesome that Shanahan did this, but on the other hand how does this help him? Now Haynesworth is going to miss practices until he can pass, which means he will be behind everyone else learning this new defensive system.
Listen, I hate Haynesworth, but if you are going to go this far why not just cut/trade him? Plus, why the fuck does Haynesworth ever have to run 300 yards? Honestly, his job it to take up blockers and space (especially in a 3-4). I just think that Shanahan is just making a bad situation even worse (yet, I guess I have to respect it).
This could get ugly for Shanahan, because some people are starting to call this hazing, so I wouldn't be surprised if the NFLPA is all over this.
