Even though the game was a snoozer, I really enjoyed being around the Redskins on Sunday. Sean Taylor is going to be a big star and Clinton Portis had as impressive a day as any player I&#39;ve seen in the first six weeks of the season.

Ok, I&#39;m not a football person. I never really understood the game -- I&#39;d rather see a good play or go to the movies. But &quot;Friday Night Lights&quot; shows why football -- especially high school football -- inspire such loyal and rabid fans.

Green Bay&#39;s victory over Carolina on Monday night featured an entertaining performance by Brett Favre. It wasn&#39;t that the quarterback had one of his typical Favre nights.

It&#39;s certainly not where Cloutier and the other locked-out NHL players wanted to be Friday night but, given their circumstances, they&#39;ll play anywhere now.
