Cut and run
Virginia's season might turn on the stress fracture suffered by star wideout Deyon Williams earlier this month.
And now the Washington Redskins' run at a Super Bowl title might be on the line as Redskins Nation awaits word on the status of tailback Clinton Portis, injured in Washington's preseason loss to Cincinnati last night.
How else can the case be made that the extended football preseason is anachronistic in this day and age of 12-months-a-year training?
"Four games is ridiculous. Then you play a 16-game season and the playoffs behind that," Portis said after the Skins-Bengals game, his arm in a sling after he partially dislocated his left shoulder making a tackle on an interception.
"For whoever's watching: Let's get rid of some of these games," said Portis, a University of Miami product.
I'm right there with you, man.
I'm right there with you.

It was the first series of the first preseason game when Portis got hurt. How can he say the league needs less preseason games? Less than one? Look, injuries happen in football. It's part of the game. Don't blame the NCAA or the NFL just because a few key players have gone down.
