With 2:20 left in the first quarter of Army-Navy CVIII (uh, the 108th meeting), there is, believe it or not, no score. And believe it even less, two punts. Army got to the Navy 10 on its first possession, got held, and missed the chip-shot field goal.

Packed M&T Stadium and horrendous traffic, but reportedly, no President Bush, contrary to reports that he was going to attend. There is a cardboard cut-out of him in the lower bowl. No jokes. Non-partisan posting today.

Whoops, update: Zerbin Singleton just ran 38 yards, untouched, down the right sideline for a touchdown. Navy, 7-0, wiht 46 seconds left in the first quarter.

Anyway, this begins a big weekend here in the area, separate from all the action around the rest of the country. At 4, college hoops, Morgan State at Coppin State. At 7 at Verizon Center in D.C., Wizards vs. Raptors, with Earl Monroe's No. 10 being retired at halftime.

Tomorrow, at FedEx Field in Landover, the Redskins' first game without Sean Taylor, against the Bills. Fans are being told to be in their seats by 12:15 for the 1 p.m. kickoff, for a pregame ceremony honoring him. (By the way, here's the latest on the arrests of the suspects in his murder, from the Miami Herald.)

Later, at Verizon Center, the BB&T Classic tripleheader, starting at 2:30 with George Washington vs. Auburn, then George Mason vs. East Carolina at 5 and Maryland vs. Virginia Commonwealth at approximately 7:30.

Last but not least, Ravens-Patriots on Monday night at the stadium. Current spread is 20 1/2.

Still Navy 7-0, 12:20 left in the second quarter. Now up to an astounding four combined punts.
