next. all right, redskins fans you are about to witness a very important game. so you're asking yourself what's the difference between preseason games one and two for young quarterback? well, it's sort of like the difference between driving on a vacant country road versus a busy lea right after you get your learner's personality. get that? it's busier and more complex on the highway and more things can go wrong. you know follow me there? all right. robert griffin iii will face a busier more complex roadway tonight. so you see what i'm doing here? all right he'll get more looks from the

find who the top 53 guys are in a number of positions. we know who the starter are. it could swing either way with other positions. number of positions worked between second and third and guys just

various calls and ravens' receiver anquan boldin said it was quote unprofessional. to know there are storm clouds lingering above maryland football coach randy edsall. bad first season and several players leave the program. it was a rumor his boss was trying to bolt. then camp started and his quarterback blew his knee out. besides that things have been pretty good. i'm joking. it's up to two freshmen now to operate the system. perry hills is the man now. fan appreciation day at birds stadium. by the way digs of good council three touchdowns, that's one of them on a kick return. so things looking good there for the terrapins. some baseball knew the young lad went deep yesterday. his first in a few weeks, bryce harper with the home run. his reward outside of winning the game last night he gets a day off today. harper not in the lineup tonight versus the mets. just some time off and the nats facing is lefty and harper is only batting .227 versus southpaws. a pretty good one. edwin
