In a strange turn of events today, Jeffrey Reiners showed up to the first day of training camp without any shoes. The same training camp that Reiners himself had actually placed mandatory attendance for other team members. "He obviously didn’t feel it was necessary to be serious about it himself.", Aaron Shupert said to a reporter. As other members of 6Ft Over pounded the mill, Reiners was seen leisurely walking around the gym barefoot, pretending to stretch. Reiners is now officially being called a training camp hold out as rumors surfaced that he left his shoes at home to make a statement that he is unhappy with his contract. Reiners and Brandon Marshall share the same agent so it would not be a surprise if this was a tactic employed by Reiners from his agents advice.
Team officials are waiting to see what Reiners’ work ethic is like on the second day of camp before they officially suspend the shooting guard for the remainder of camp. A hefty fine is sure to come Reiners way after this blatant disregard for team policy.
