I apologize, too.

Not that another apology will help the Redskins.

There is just no helping them.

Dan Snyder issues an apology one day, Clinton Portis the next.

That also was Portis throwing the team's best downfield block of the season, this one on behalf of Snyder, the little owner who could not.

The team's 2-5 record is on the players, Portis said, not the owner.

Portis need not worry.

There is plenty of criticism to cover everyone, from the owner to the players to the sign police.

Teams that stick together apparently apologize together, for what it is worth during this excruciating season.

It is not worth much in the view of Gilbert K. Chesterton, a noted English writer.
