Haynesworth Passes!!

ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that Redskins defensive tackle has finally passed his conditioning test. He should now be able to practice with the team. This should come as a relief to Dan Snyder as he now does not have to go to practice and watch his $100 million dollar investment sit on the sideline.

Haynesworth...

For the third straight day Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth skipped his conditioning test because of his "sore knee". Personally, I think he tried to walk up the stairs and that's what made it sore! I am sick and tired of "Fat" Albert Haynesworth. Mike Golic, from ESPN, took the test 2 days ago on Sports Center. He passed! Mike Golic played in the NFL at least 7 years ago!! Let's face it Albert, the only way for you to escape Mike Shanahan, is to retire. So do us all a favor, either man up and take the test or retire and leave all of us Redskins fans at peace. We don't need you.

A-Rod Hit No. 600

Exactly 3 years after Alex Rodriguez hit home run number 500 of his career, he hit home run number 600. In the bottom of the first, 2 outs, 1 man on, A-Rod blasted one off pitcher Shaun Marcum into center field. A-Rod said after the game that "it was a relief just to put it behind me". A-Rods career will always have an asterisk next to it because of the accusations of steroid abuse. But for right now, I think everyone should let A-Rod have his moment. He is the youngest player ever to 600 home runs.
