Shawn Springs says Redskins should get Kyle Orton
Because it’s November in Washington, Tuesday’s release of Kyle Orton meant the biggest sports topic in this town was whether the Redskins should be interested. And really, I can see both sides.
On the one hand, the Grossman-Beck plan seems maybe not to have given the Redskins a quarterback on par with, say, Tom Brady. On the other hand, we’re talking about Kyle Orton here....

Former Redskins CB Rogers thriving in fresh start
Carlos Rogers grew tired of the constant comparisons in Washington. All the questions about how he stacked up as a cornerback against Shawn Springs or Fred Smoot or DeAngelo Hall.
Good thing new 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh refuses to compare anybody. He preaches that his players only need to be themselves in order to flourish in his system.
And it sure is a good fit for Rogers, who...

Those 2001 Seahawks were a...
