08:01 AM ET 04.28 | It wasn't long ago that some were speculating that players were tanking baseline concussion tests on purpose, and the practice now has a famous poster boy: Peyton Manning. It's like being in a bowling league that is based on how you do against your average. So on the first day, you keep throwing the ball into the gutter to set that average nice and low. Only this isn't bowling. It's brains. "They have these new tests we have to take," Manning told ESPN. "Before the season, you have to look at 20 pictures and turn the paper over and then try to draw those 20 pictures. And they do it with words, too. Twenty words, you flip it over and try to write those 20 words. Then, after a concussion, you take the same test, and if you do worse than you did on the first test, you can't play. So I just try to do badly on the first test." How are we supposed to look at this?

Understand. Never let a good line go by you. Never.
My question is what possible baseline test could you give a guy like Haynsworth? And Cromarite does not know his kids names on a good day.

Until they come up with a good "dumb arce" test, I suppose there really isn't a good answer to this one.

Just hand Haynesworth a credit card and have a waitress walk by. If he misses her cleavage, he's concussed.

Or if they offer him a big bucket of wings and he says no, he's concussed.

As for Cromartie, have any ovulating woman walk by. If his pants don't hit the ground immediately, he's concussed.

If he can remember his kids names, he's concussed.

Did you see what he told the staff at the restaraunt when they asked him about touching the girl, and after his credit card was declined?

Haynesworth's initial bill for the evening was $825.53. When the waitress ran his card, it was declined. The waitress then handed the debit card and bill over to a coworker, and had no further contact with Haynesworth.
Haynesworth gave the other waitress another debit card, haggled over a $13 drink, and eventually paid $811.23 for his evening's entertainment.
After he paid, a manager from the hotel approached Haynesworth and confronted him about the incident. When asked if he remembered having contact with the waitress, the football player said to the manager, "I didn't touch her."
According to the document, the player allegedly said that the waitress was "a little black girl," and that he "doesn't even like black girls."

Every time we think this knucklehead has set a new low, he lowers the bar further.
