pal. 12 rebounds, ten assists. tomorrow, rajon rondo talked about his performance pop i think the best part about getting a triple-double is getting the win. that's pretty much it. the important thing is to get a triple-double and lose the game, you know you've done all you can do. to get a loss would be devastating for me personally, but the bottom line, i'm extremely happy because we have the win. >> no better place, moment, time, to play a game to win a game. and to win it in great fashion where everybody has to do it as a team. to shoot the ball. i don't know what record it is that

around. afterwards, he did not hold back his comments. >> it was probably not his fault. >> i don't know that what i've ever done to piss him off, but he's apparently stupid. >> she wore a fire suit in the family, not kidding. >> not only a jab, it's personal. >> and you've got to know, that's going to end up on some form on the track next week. the redskins have their final otas next week. but before all that happened, linebacker london fletcher knew he wanted to have a little fun for a good cause. caroline cramer in bethesda wrote a winning essay in a contest promoting healthy lifestyles among teens. she requested that she join her and her friends in a dance routine. you know, when he played football he used to do a thing called the sugar foot in st. louis. i think he's got some good

guiding children as principal is more intense than her work in iraq. she hope her service is a powerful camp to her kids. >> what i hope is that each and every one of these children is they recognize a move beyond themselves. >> colonel mcclure will be returning to active duty in july. only she'll be leaving with the title of news 4. >> what a reentry. >> yes, yes. take a look at this recording
