where we go up and swing tackle and interior. we were comfortable and ready to go with it. we played three quarters last week. we all know what we are doing. it's getting in there and getting practice in this week, a week's worth of practice, putting it together. >> you guys have to develop quick chemistry, right? that's important, too. >> we are going out to dinner. >> a glass of wine? >> i'll get ice water and diet coke. >> no wine for the fellas tonight. america's past time passed up by the nba. they got higher ratings than game one of the world series. that was interesting. you know who doesn't care? the cardinals. st. louis is leading the world series, 1-0 after taking down the rangers. we pick up with chris carpenter. check out the grounder. albert pujols fields it.

>> we didn't lose tonight, we got beat. they had the opportunity to push one across. the pinch hitter got it done. we had opportunities. they beat us. >> game two tonight. finally, the redskins -- he did not practice because of a sore knee. he did play the role of cameraman to perfection. >> turn the table on the press? >> all the time. >> see you how like the camera. everybody gets shy all of a sudden. >> this is what it looked like from the camera here. look, there's david. look. good thing it wasn't a fashion show at redskins park. >> i's always good. >> chris russell. i just stood out. we didn't want to get in this picture here. >> good idea. >> you didn't want to make the rest of them look bad, is that it? >> no, couldn't do that.

they were hoping he could play. if he can't play in the secondary, it's not going to be good facing cam newton. >> he needs to work on his camera skills. the mountain lion and homeowner who saw it go down. ♪ [ jerry ] attention shoppers. your groceries are the size of idaho but the interest rate on your checking is small potatoes. earn more at capital one bank.
