could john beck be the redskins' starter next season assuming there is one? o think so. beck was the third spring quarterback on the roster and is the only sure thing that the redskins have at that spot with mcnabb's future in question and rex grossman being a free agent. when asked if beck's talent is yet redskins did not select a quarterback in the draft, shanahan brought up beck's potential. >> when john beck did come out i had him as a quarterback, and i didn't even think it was close, so i have confidence on john beck. when he comes on in 2007 you evaluate the quarterbacks every year and he was by far my number one guy. so i think the world of him and when you see a guy practice every day, regardless if it's your system or going against our defense you surely get to see his strengths and his weaknesses. he has not disappointed me since he's been here. >> john beck of byu drafted in 2007. brady quinn, jamarcus russell went ahead of him that year, but he has qualities that mike shanahan obviously enjoys. >> thanks, lindsay. >> hope the coach is right. >>> c

donavan mcnabb on his way out, rex grossman a free agent, all signs point to john beck as their starterd to be the best qv in his draft class yet he hasn't taken a snap since '07. beck says he's been practicing with superbowl winning quarterbacks drew brees offseason in san diego. that's an interesting scenario we'll have to watch unfold. >>> here's a look at who the redskins selected this year. in the first round, linebacker ryan out of perdue. he was the big 10 player of the year. in the second round they bolstered their defense again with defensive end jenkins out of clemson. third round, they took leonard hangerson from the u. they traded up in the fourth to get running back roy hallu. that began a nebraska streak. three in a row. safety and receiver. two others from smu. the final four in the seventh round, brandon thompson, maurice hurt from florida, marcus white, florida state and chris kneels out of west virginia. 12 picks in all. >>> the terrapins played their spring game today. quarterback danny o'brien through 199 yards and twotouchdowns. d.j. adams with 56 yards and a t.d. r

john kerry did not exactly end bush's political career. glenn beck has now grown impatient.lenn beck thinks president obama should have taken one bow for killing osama bin laden then left the stage. here is beck from his radio show today. >> president obama is going to visit ground zero. george bush is not going to go with him. george bush turned down obama's invitation to go to the site because he wanted to stay out of the spotlight. i would think that maybe it's because you would need hand sanitizer afterwards because you'd feel so slimy after doing this. this is the first visit to ground zero that obama has made since he was a candidate. what is the occasion other than u.b.l.? is it just to sop up some more glory and take a victory lap? it's disgusting. >> i know. i know. you're thinking beck would never have said that if a republican president had killed osama bin laden. there would be no limit to how many victory laps beck would urge a republican president to do if a republican president had been smart enough or lucky enough to kill osama bin laden. but in this case, be

it cuts both ways for every for every glenn beck series on fox news there's some other member of the republican establishment he's pushing to go like a john ensign or english daniel so you know in terms of. perception i think fox news he's been going to let their reputation become what it is not the american people large i don't think that's going to affect the race for president any more than it did in any other sort of significant fashion that we see out there is taking place actually in politics or media but he says that well i think actually probably the more opportune question is how is it for the country you know what happens to the country when you have a major news this is sort of validating a man who is questioning where the presidency where the president of the country was born of the country you know every monday morning what it happens to a country when you have every host on a network defending the torture of other human beings you know on a daily basis i mean i think that americans that either they don't agree with the public and politics of the fox news contains the draw republicans that are right they have to go on the tra
