Redskins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Playing golf Monday morning to help raise more than $100,000 to grant the wishes of 16 seriously ill children who are served by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Clinton Portis had his own less critical wish. The Washington Redskins‘ star running back wishes that people would stop talking about a rift between him and second-year coach Jim Zorn.
