The Steelers were a team in flux a year ago, their star quarterback about to sit out a four-game suspension.
"Laguna Beach" cast member Kristin Cavallari has joined "Friends with Benefits" stars Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in accepting an invitation to a Marine Corps Ball.

On a changing defense that is relying on younger players, Washington Redskins rookie defensive end Jarvis Jenkins has been a bright spot this preseason. Now the Redskins are just hoping he can continue to show those flashes of greatness — and that an injury Thursday night doesn't derail his season.

My observations, analysis and conclusions about the Washington Redskins' offense after re-watching their 34-31 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens using the TV broadcast:

Even when asked about downplaying preseason success — two victories and some impressive statistics and performances — Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan insists that no matter what time of year, he wants his team to do well.

The Baltimore Ravens and offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie agreed on a two-year deal, pending him passing a physical.
The Old Spice Guy has won his hunk-off with Fabio.

The third time may not be a charm for Marine Sgt. Ray Lewis. Last week, the deployed Marine asked Emmy Award-winning actress Betty White, 89, to the Commandant's Marine Corps Birthday Ball in November, but she politely declined.

The rest of the NFL isn't too impressed, it seems, with the talent on the Washington Redskins' roster. When the NFL Network recently ranked the top 100 players in the league — according to a vote of the players themselves — only one Redskin made the list: Donovan McNabb at No. 100 (just below Packers offensive tackle Chad Clifton ... and just above oblivion).
