best-of-seven series against the detroit tigers. a washington legend was born last night, just one week after he was sidelined by a concussion, rg3 capped off a big game with this 76-yard touchdown run. his third score of the day. racking up more than 300 total yards. nearly half of them on the ground. this was the longest run by a quarterback in the nfl since slash kordell stewart went 80 yards for the pittsburgh steelers 16 years ago. it was the first home victory for the skins since the first week of last season. welcome news for a city that is still heartbroken over the end of the baseball season. i can atus to that. attest to that. the pakistani teen who was attacked and shot by the taliban last week has just arrived at a major trauma center in the uk. since her shooting, thousand as cross pakistan and around the world have taken to the streets demanding justice for malala who was targeted by the taliban because of her work advocating
the packers defense, although it proved from last year, still not good enough to hold that lead. packers offense not clicking like it did. the colts won it late. it was a huge game for the team, a huge game for coach pagano hospitalized with leukemia receiving treatment for six weeks. they took him the game ball afterward. this is the kind of game that could lift this franchise. they ve already got two wins this year. i m a big believer you never start rookie quarterbacks, you sit them out a year and learn. luck stepping up. another guy that s been stepping up in washington, and that s rg3. but yesterday, boy. he was taught a lesson. yeah. as dan fouts said, the sidelines is your friend. guys have to know how to avoid contact. if you get hit enough times, you re eventually going to hurt. robert griffin iii has been defiant about i ll take whatever comes my way. he took one yesterday. that hurts. nice pink shoes. he didn t know the score,
could set the all-time record of consecutive games with a touchdown pass which is the nfl s equivalent of the dimaggio record. giants lose to the eagles last night. giants fans worried? you know, it s a long season. i mean, they should have won that game. it was some bad decision-making down the stretch, bad use of the clock. i think they should have taken another shot before that final field goal. are you worried, willie? not yet. boy, the eagles needed this, didn t they? yeah, the eagles are 3-1. they felt like they were 0-3. now it s a different feel. and that whole icing the kicker at the end of the game, if that blows up on andy reid, can you imagine what would be going on in philly today? how about the redskins, rg3. they struggled after that first win against the saints. in hindsight maybe it wasn t that great because the saints are winless. now they re back to 2-2, right in the thick of things, and they haven t played the other nfc east teams. joe s falcons.
so they can t it s the margins in these states are so big that they need both obama to go down as they re going up. all right, mike. and apparently you ve been deputized by sports illustrated. you re here to reveal the new cover of sports illustrated. what? there s a lot of good news, good buzz inside the beltway. it s on the cover of sports illustrated this week. they re calling washington/baltimore america s unlikely new sports capital. seth davis, lanny son is writing in sports illustrated about the beltway as the new sports super power. we have the washington nationals tied with the reds for the best team in baseball. we have great hope for the redskins with this quarterback, rg3 which sports illustrated compares him to president obama. i hope he s better than that. yeah. it s definitely a moment. i can tell you as a yankee fan,
rg3, what happened? no offense. no offense in the first half. rg3 getting banged up. the redskins tried to make it interesting, but they just couldn t. it was a so many great games, crazy games yesterday. your head s spinning as these games are coming to a conclusion because there were a lot of fascinating moments yesterday. three overtimes. real quick, more surprise that the cardinals are 3-0 or that the saints are 0-3? i m more surprised by the saints. the cardinals are a sneaky good team. they have won 10 of their last 12 games. they have a great, great defense. and they could have been 0-2 when you look at the first two games. saints, they miss their head coach, sean payton. the guy s suspended and getting himself in line for extensions and raises because the owner now realizes hey, this guy must be a pretty good coach. they re in trouble. mike florio, we love talking to you. we could do this all day. thanks, andrea. oh, yeah. andrea s not going. she s a sports afic
