Clark K. Hunt, the son of Lamar Hunt, heads up this savvy sports organization. Should this group win the game, it would be played at the state-of-the-art 23,500-seat Pizza Hut Park |

| Landover, MD (MySportsbook) - Redskins running back Clinton Portis was on Washington's sideline to start the second half of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a nagging ankle injury. He returned on Washington's second drive of the third quarter and broke off a 78-yard run that set up a go-ahead field goal, but it wasn't enough as the Redskins fell, 14-6. Portis has been hampered by the troublesome ankle and a calf injury throughout the season but has carried the ball at least 15 times in each |

And it really irritates me. Truly irritates me,'' Zorn said. ``And I'm just not going to rest until I get that taken care of.'' The heat o |

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -Running back Clinton Portis ran for a career-high 78 yards on his first carry after briefly leaving Washington's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with what the Redskins said was a sprained ankle. Portis was out of the lineup to start the second half Sunday, and Washington said his return was questionable. Ladell Betts replaced Portis on the field to open the third quarter. But on Washington's second possession of the quarter, Portis was back on the field. He broke into the open up th |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -This past Sunday, the final roar at Arrowhead Stadium wasn't from the legions of rabid, red-clad Kansas City Chiefs faithful. It was from Cowboys fans celebrating a game-winning 60-yard touchdown pass in overtime. ``They had so many Cowgirl fans there,'' complained Ty Rowton, a Chiefs fan known as ``X-Factor'' who decks himself in red tights and war paint on game day. ``They were really loud whenever our offense was on the field. I've never seen that at Arrowhead - that's our job.'' |
