RGIII's running attack too effective to ditch ASHBURN -- He defended the play much better than many defenses the Redskins faced last season. Andultimately, that's why Kyle Shanahan wants to stick with the zone read option. It's tough to stop. The Redskins worked the zone read option into...

Jets QB competition is wide open, Rex says FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' quarterback competition is still wide open -- with no clear-cut winner in sight. Rex Ryan isn't sure whether it'll be Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith, and he's in no rush to decide. It's only minicamp, after all,...

You know, maybe Robert Griffin III -- SuperBob -- should listen to former Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb. Maybe the kid should learn from the old veteran. Maybe SuperBob should do what McNabb did when he arrived via trade in Washington in 2010, before he ever took a snap on the football...
