Albert Haynesworth fails conditioning test AGAIN. Is sent to his room by Shanahan.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP)—Early Friday morning, the cones were lined up 25 yards apart on the field for Albert Haynesworth’s(notes) conditioning test. He needed to complete the first part in 70 seconds or less to have a chance to pass.

He clocked 71.

Another failed effort. Once again, the two-time All-Pro defensive tackle was not allowed to participate in practice at Washington Redskins training camp.

And so the Haynesworth saga drags on. By now, some coaches or organizations would have worked out some sort of a behind-the-scenes compromise in the name of team harmony and good publicity, especially with one measly second hanging in the balance. Not Mike Shanahan. The rules are the rules are the rules for the Redskins new coach, no matter who the player is.
