Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth is upset once again. This time it's over the lack of information Mike Shanahan provided about his injuries this week, prompting him to say he's still being targeted because he skipped the offseason workouts -- which he said he'll do again next spring as well.

We'll just let you see the entire Q&A that ended after one minute, 26 seconds when a Redskins employee ended the interview. And keep in mind, every time Haynesworth mentioned that he had a headache, he used exaggerated quote marks.

Q: What happened this week?

A: I don't know. I was told I had headaches or whatever and that's why I couldn't go out and practice. It was a little bit more than that, but they didn't want to expose that.

Q: What was it?

A: You'll have to ask them, but I guess they'll tell you headaches.

Q: You didn't have anything?

A: That was part of it, but it wasn't all of it. They left out a whole lot of stuff.

Q: Why would they do that?

A: I don't know, but I guess to make themselves look good, make me look bad for not going to their offseason conditioning program. Next year I'm not coming either. I'll be with my trainer again and I'll get back in the same shape I'm in and feel good about myself.

Q: Are they holding it against you?

A: Oh yeah I think so. It's all right. I'm a football player and I know I can still play the game as long as I get this defense down I'll be all right.

Q: How did you feel tonight?

A: It was all right; third quarter, ninth-year pro, I don't think I should have been out in the third quarter but for having headahces, that's what they wanted to do.
