So normally I don't blog about the sports world in general. If the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup in the next fifty years, you can bet your ass I will be on here bragging. Examples will include: "Compared to the Leafs, the Canadiens are turds! Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" or "Woot *takes a swig of Molson Canadian* Wooooooooooooooooooooo!" and what have you. But I'm strictly a StarCraft man while blogging. Look at all of my post (on second thought, don't cuz some were absolutely horrible) and you will see that there is no topic outside of StarCraft. I like sports. Who doesn't? But SC always comes before football, baseball, hockey, etc. It's kinda like the bros before hoes rule except its epic space battles vs grown men beating the crap out of each other. It's ten times better than the bros before hoes rule (depending on your opinion). But one thing has caught my eye in the sports world and I think it is so laughable that it is my civic duty as a human being to share my opinion on an issue that won't affect day-to-day life whatsoever!
If you're a Redskins fan you know that Albert Haynesworth is a colossal fattie. In fact, his new nickname from here on out will be Fat Albert. In addition to coming to training camp overweight and out of shape, the Hey, Hey, Hey Kid also failed not one, not two but THREE conditioning tests. The only reason he couldn't try (and fail) another is because now he has soreness in his knee. Seems pretty convienent but whatever. In my humble opionion, this is hilarious. I mean sure the guy is 350 pounds of sweat and flab but there are 22 players that are over 300 pounds on the team and they are still in shape. C'mon Albert what did you do in the off-season other playing Madden and eating Doritos? You have to keep in shape. It is why you are a professional athlete. You are held to a pretty high standard in today's society. You are a role model for the children. How are you this out of shape that you have managed to piss off the coach in ONE FREAKING DAY?! There is no explaination other than this photographic evidence of Haynesworth at a local diner in the off-season
Sweet Jesus...

He lost 30 pounds this offseason before showing up in camp, and teammates remarked he seemed much more fit this year than last. Short of him explaining what he was doing in public, we'll never know what went wrong for his cardio to be so bad, but he did put in some sort of work.

Isn't it just easier to make fun of him?

Holy shit, how the hell does anyone eat that huge ass burger. But yeah, the redskins suck every year and all the draft picks and free agents have been busts. There's a curse lol. Im pretty sure Mcnabb is gonna fail too

I make fun of the Redskins (I'm a Ravens fan living in the DC metropolitan) but I do find the "lol fat albert no work" getting kinda tiresome. For all the hate he gets, he played the 2nd most snaps last season (despite missing like 4 games) and has generally not been a lazy slob during his career, although you can justifiably question how consistently hard he works when it comes to every snap.
You can ridicule him for being the epitome of the selfish athlete, but... yeah. I think it's especially hypocritical because a lot of fat players (most notably DT/NTs and certain runningbacks like Jerome Bettis) have been celebrated.

I still want Haynesworth to get aids and perish in a fire for stomping the fuck outta that guy's face years ago. Holy fuck that was terrible. Anyone dumb enough to do that has no place in the game, period. He's a piece of shit.
Combine that with his selfish behavior... ugh. At least JaMarcus Russell genuinely sucked. With Haynesworth, you know he's good, so his dramatic drop to mediocrity just makes it seem even more like he's even too lazy to pretend like he's trying to live up to his contract.
|
I laugh when the Redskins sign these players for a lot of cash. Guy had a anger problem with the titans, stopped a cowboy guy in the head. Guy has problems and anyone who follows football seen this coming.
But to your post, maybe do research before you try to make fun of this guy. Many Defense of Tackles are over 300 pounds and are in shape.

He came soooooo close to killing that guy too. Wiki reads that he "narrowly missed" his right eye with his cleat. That's pretty much attempted murder in my opinion.
|
He was a beast in Tennessee, too bad getting a 100 million contract just made him a lazy slob in Washington.
|
really he only had that one monster year and one pretty good year. The rest of his time in Tennessee, everyone thought he was a minor bust who had talent but lacked any kind of work ethic.
|
so sick about hearing about this. just void his contract somehow and get him the hell away. he's going to be a cancer to the entire team.

NFL contracts are retarded to begin with. The word "contract" has no meaning in this sport. If you don't play well teams will just cut you, if you do play well you will just hold out to try and earn more money(Revis, CJ). If that wasn't stupid enough, rookies like Bradford get 50million guaranteed, the highest in NFL history without playing a single pro game.
Football would be so much funner to watch if the league wasn't built so stupidly.
