Supreme Court Asked To Look At 'Redskins'

Oct 31, 2014 5:16 AM

A group of American Indians has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to look into the name of the NFL's Washington Redskins. The group, which finds the name offensive, has asked the justices to review a lower court decision that favored the NFL team on a legal technicality. The seven Native Americans have been working through the court system since 1992 to have the Redskins trademarks declared invalid.

Giants Accuse Redskins Of Hiring Mole

Oct 28, 2014 4:48 PM

The Redskins signed quarterback Andre Woodson to their practice squad on Wednesday just one day after being released by the Giants. He was used by the Redskins on their practice squad, which could make the Washington defense more effective when they play the Giants on Sunday. "I would say initially that wasn't the reason to have Andre Woodson here," Jim Zorn said when asked if the Redskins were using Woodson as a mole. "We looked at him a year ago. We drafted Colt [Brennan], they drafted Andre. With him getting released, we had the chance to take a look at him.... We have a chance with Andre now to develop him a little bit." "It's pretty obvious why he's in Washington," said Tom Coughlin. "There's no question that's what's going on." Zorn said that while the Redskins won't "put him under the microscope," Woodson's familiarity with the Giants' offense certainly won't hurt. "He might be able to help us a little bit. He knows their stuff. He certainly knew their snap count, just the obvious things." Zorn said.

Portis Fires Back At John Riggins

Oct 8, 2014 8:13 AM

Clinton Portis continued his war of words with Hall of Fame running back John Riggins on Tuesday. Portis can overtake Riggins as Washington's all-time leading rusher this season. "I think he was a great running back, but, you know, think of who else was around him," Portis told the Associated Press. "That was really not hard to be a great running back when you've got that talent all around you. I think they just had great teams, you know. I think everybody who played in that era as a running back is big around here." Portis needs 1,370 yards to surpass Riggins, who has criticized Washington's current starter. Among his comments about Portis, Riggins in January called Portis "a headache" who needs to change "the way he views himself and views his contributions to the team."
