11:20 pm
that storm system will move right up the coast. well, that nice weather sticks around for tomorrow. but notice where the rain is by tomorrow night. virginia beach, maybe even close to the ocean city area and then watch how it just moves right on in here late friday night into the day on saturday. saturday morning could be fairly wet. saturday afternoon could be fairly wet. and then i do think we dry out late in the day on saturday. so the red skins day could start off a little bit wet but may actually dry out. that's just the initial here. i think we could see this area of low pressure during rain even into the day on sunday. now, let's focus on isaac making its way across the caribbean. it has not been very well organized. starting to get attacked together, i think just a little bit. but just when it gets its act together, it's going to move across hispaniola. that is not a favorable place for a tomorrow to storm to be.

11:26 pm
the red skin staff members pour sbood the main auditorium to bid portis adieu. coming back to redskins park was something he needed and wanted to do. >> life as a redskin was more meaningful than doing anything else. it was more meaningful than playing with another team and getting sent away just to say i told you so and continue my career. if i couldn't do it here, i really didn't want to do it. when i left, i realized this was the organization i loved. this was the place i loved. having the tunt to come back, it was high risk, it was the best thing that could hatch. >> he still has that huge runningback neck, like a battering ram. what was that? a 22 inch neck? he was powerful and one of the best pass blockers we've ever
11:27 pm
seen in that position. >> oh, yeah, he used to hurt people. >> line backers did not like coming in as a rush pass. >> i can't think of another one off the top of my head. he did it quite often. of the current crop of redskins runningbacks, they'll both miss pre-season game number 3 against the colts. tim hightower expected to play for the first time since tearing his acl 9 months ago. skins and kocolts at 4:00. tonight, ravens hosting the jaguars. baltimore up 3-0. we're going to see this a lot this year. joe flacco. give him 6. ravens up 10-0. flacco is jacked, but he wasn't done yet. down the middle of the field, the former turk picks up 32 of his 103 yards on the night. that led to another touchdown.
11:28 pm
flacco threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns in a 48-17 raven's romp. attention fantty football owners. this guy, aaron rogers is ready to roll. rogers drops back, doesn't see anybody open, so he keeps it by himself. the only disappointment here, he didn't have his title belt touchdown celebration. that's apparently disappeared. still in the first quarter, soo did i. rogers ding it again. a five-yard touchdown runs sekt of the night for rogers. the pack is going to win 27-13. that's over the bangles. that was one of the great touchdown celebrations and it's gone. we've got to get him to do it again. again. >> ravens starters in the third
