You can only push Albert Haynesworth so far before he spouts off.
“I’m tired of this B.S., I just want to get out on field and play football,” Haynesworth told NBC4 in Washington on Thursday evening, before he failed the team’s conditioning test for a second time.
We wonder how he feels now.
Even some teammates have “privately expressed concerned” Mike Shanahan is just trying to make an example of Haynesworth, according to Jason Reid of the Washington Post. One player said that “few players” are capable of passing the test that only Haynesworth has been required to take.
Haynesworth will get to take his third crack at the test Saturday morning; we’ll see if Shanahan feels his defensive lineman has been humbled enough yet to let him practice.
