Amick with a discouraging report from Day 1 of training camp:

So, Hawes won't take the mandatory test he could have avoided by showing up in Sacramento two weeks early … because he blames it for his knee injury last year. Not to call the man an exaggerator, but he was limping before training camp began last year (on media day). He hurt it in a pre-camp scrimmage. Maybe the sprints made it worse, but he was already injured. You can't blame the sprints for the injury.

This is completely the wrong way to deal with this. If you know going in you can't or don't want to do the sprints, then you take the alternate program (coming in early). Second-year players aren't allowed to be prima donnas. No one on this roster should be a prima donna.

Luckily, not everyone is insane.
