Washington Redskins kick returner Rock Cartwright remembers his brain "shaking like a bell" when he was walloped in a game against the New York Giants a few years ago. "You know how a bell vibrates? That's how my brain was going at that time," he said. "I think five minutes later, I came back to myself. I went back out there and played football." What Cartwright never

The Redskins' running back situation continues to get worse. Head coach Jim Zorn said Monday that RB Ladell Betts is out for the season with a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, and he also said that concussed RB Clinton Portis will miss Week 12 at Philadelphia and possibly even Week 13 vs. New Orleans as he progressively improves from a hit to the head in Week 9 at Atlanta. Rock Cartwright and Quinton...

What do you think Rock Cartwright is thinking in this AP photo? I'm guessing it's probably something along the lines of Hey, I've been telling them to give me more work at running back. Or maybe, Hey, why didn't we take an end zone shot there after all the penalty ridiculousness . The first thought would certainly be reasonable: Cartwright finishes the first half with 56 yards on 5 carries and 25...

That's the view of the walk to the field from the visitor's locker room in the new Cowboys Stadium. You pass through what I can only describe as a "bar", because it is, in fact, a bar. The whole field level of the stadium is ringed with field suites and club level bars; one of those bars is bisected by the walkway from the lockers to the field. Glass partitions and very vigilant security...

Ever since he came to the Washington Redskins seven years ago, Ladell Betts has believed the same thing. "He's always said, 'Get me 20 carries, I'll get you 100 yards,' " longtime teammate Rock Cartwright said. Betts has backed up his words in the few opportunities he has gotten, most recently in the Redskins' victory over the Denver Broncos last week. Betts has reached the 100-yard mark...

Every game the Redskins win, special teams coach Danny Smith awards a "Hit Stick" to the player who delivered the most crushing shot on special teams coverage. The stick -- which is an actual carved piece of wood that Smith acquired in Jamaica -- then lives with that player until the next time it's given out, sort of like a smaller-scale, woodier Stanley Cup. Can you guess who got the Hit...
