Wow.
Wow.
Catch of the year, so far. More on Bears/Skins at SB Nation.

We still talk about him a lot, but have we actually started to forget his on-field presence? His game wasn’t even polished yet. His potential was… beyond ridiculous.
My God, do I wish he was still in that secondary.
Big thanks to Yamazuru1 for the link.

Sucking Wind, Redux
I’m beginning to fear that if and when this Haynesworth Saga ever stops being bizarre, the space-time continuum might just dissolve. Let’s recount the crazy sequence of bro-bouncing action over the past 24 hours:
1. Haynesworth arrives on time for camp, looking like Bob and Jillian just finished reconstructing his life. See for yourself: he’s lithe enough to play corner…
Reports of his substantial weight loss were clearly not exaggerated. His man-boobs are down to a generous B-cup.
2. He apparently “kills” the first part of his conditioning test, which is some complex version of a 300-yard shuttle-run.
3. Feeling pretty validated, he hits a Porta-Potty for an extended period, presumably to pinch a loaf roughly as long and heavy as Brandon Banks.
4. The second half of his test is identical to the first, and most reports have him accomplishing it in less than the allotted time. Haynesworth prepares to embark on a loud and obnoxious “Kiss My Flabby Black Ass” rant for Shanny and Bruce.
5. Shanny decides to remind Albert and the rest of Redskins Nation that this is his world, and we are mere squirrels seeking nuts. He deems the intermission crap-a-thon “too long” for purposes of evaluation and insists on a third segment of the test.
6. Being three-hundy-plus, exhausted from a thorough ball-busting, and pre-syncopal from the heat and humidity, Haynesworth fails the third installment. (Big shocker there. Usain Bolt would have upchucked on that one.) A brief dialogue may or may not take place in which Shanny suggests Haynesworth has “never been in shape,” to which Haynesworth replies, “Oval is a shape.”
7. Shanny bans Haynesworth from live action and the first practice of training camp unfolds without him. AH works a treadmill on the side, then walks through some plays with Haz, alone, while everyone else hits the showers.
8. After practice, Shanny says Albert was “first class all the way” in reacting to the controversial verdict, but that they still “have to get his cardio to a certain level.” Later last night, #92 tells a news station that he’s “tired of this B.S.” and just wants to play football.
9. Haynesworth returns to Redskins Park this morning - before his teammates - and repeats the previously outlined conditioning test (ostensibly just Parts I and II, minus the toilet-shattering blowout at halftime).
10. He fails. Again. The entire East Coast erupts in some combination of laughter and righteous indignation. Haynesworth is banished to the treadmill again, to chase The Impossible Dream yet again tomorrow. Shanny remarks that, “It might take a week.”
Wow. Where do I begin?
