Let’s be honest. Newspapers are so 2001, and the blogosphere is just too big to sift through every day for your football fix. We have you covered with the latest stories, topics, and opinion from the World Wide Web here at the Goal-Line Stand with our Lunch Links.

+ I’m running out of ways to ridicule Albert Haynesworth, as I’m sure many bloggers and beat writers are at this point. So I’ll keep it simple today: the league’s most entertaining defensive lineman failed another conditioning test, and the big man is still sitting on the sidelines while his teammates practice.

+ Jason Reid of the Washington Post provides the details behind Haynesworth’s failed test, with the Redskins’ strength and conditioning coach revealing the requirements of each test and why Haynesworth failed. Anyone surprised that a bathroom break played a part in his failure on Thursday? The Haynesworth eruption can’t be too far off either, because he’s already getting tired of all this B.S..

+ Turning to the Washington Post once more, Reid also reports that Mike Shanahan‘s handling of the Haynesworth mess could be creating a rift in the locker room. Not exactly the start the Redskins were looking for with their shiny new, Super Bowl champion coach. Profootballtalk reports that the NFLPA is beginning to monitor the situation closely, fearing that Shanahan is unjustly trying to enact punishment on Haynesworth, and Chris Chase from Shutdown Corner finds amusement in Haynesworth’s teammates actually saying he is in better shape now than he was last season.

+ And why not give you one more dose of big bad Albert, because there’s just so much of him to love. Here’s a video of Haynesworth “working”  by himself with coaches. Would it kill him to smile? h/t to the D.C. Pro Sports Report:

+ As if the Ravens’ secondary wasn’t hobbled enough with Ed Reed, Fabian Washington, and Lardarius Webb all coming back from offseason surgery, Dominique Foxworth will now miss the regular season after tearing his ACL in a non-contact drill. For Ravens fans like those at Ebony Bird, this is kind of a big deal.

+ Brad Childress isn’t a big Toby Gerhart fan right now. Toby, this happens when you’re the last pick to sign.

+ Tom Brady addressed the media for the first time during training camp, and as we’ve come to expect from the super model marrying boy wonder, he said all the right things.

+ In what will continue to be a major signing period for top picks, Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson and Packers first-rounder Bryan Bulaga both signed on Friday.
