There's an NFL player named Albert Haynesworth who is one of the highest paid guys but has a history of being an attitude problem. This year his team's under a new coach, and since Haynesworth missed all of the offseason conditioning activities the team held in an unsuccessful effort to be traded, the new coach won't let him practice till he passes the test. You have to run 6 25 yard sprints back and forth in under 70 seconds, take 3.5 minutes off, then do it again in under 73 seconds. Haynesworth tried for a couple weeks before finally passing yesterday. Now there's a mini-meme amongst sportscasters to go try it themselves, most can do it, though they tend to be pretty skinny. Haynesworth is like 300 or more pounds so it'd be a bit tougher. There's a school track around here somewhere that I think is open to the public, so I'm gonna go try it. |

Well, this is exciting. Be sure to tell us your results. ![]() I hear that no matter what your numbers are, you get cheesecake just for trying. Is that true? |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Do you want it before or after the EMTs show up? |

I swear I would have passed if not for those those cheesecakes of yester-week freeloading around my belly. I'm going to shed a few over the coming weeks and try again. I got the first set in 70 seconds but the second set took about 75 seconds.

Luckily there were some little kids playing soccer on the field, so they had my back if my heart gave out. |

By the way, how cool is it to be able to find tracks around one's neighborhood by panning through satellite photos on google maps? |

Horace, if you can perform like a pro athlete, you need not worry about a little cheesecake. Way to go! |

haha, thanks Mik but it's not too hard. I'm pretty big though so all that starting and stopping takes it outta me. |

he was cheating the starts and distances and they cheated the times, but I didn't do any better than he did. I bet 89th and Aqua could do it! |

No, he was passing the cones, it was just a matter of the camera angles. As to the timing, that's all on Greeny. Golic was pacing himself based on the times that Greeny was calling out. You could definitely see that Golic had a little more in the tank he would have used if he thought his pace was behind. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5431961&categoryid=2850689 |

Why the sad face? Those are awesome numbers!! Go reward yourself with some cheesecake and raspberries right now. We can't have you fainting from exhaustion and undernourishment. Now go! Off you go to the deli or wherever there is good cheesecake in your area. Scoot! |
