Troubles continue for Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth, who was formally charged with misdemeanor assault following a road rage encounter on Feb. 2.
Haynesworth and his attorney appeared at a police station Saturday morning. He's due in court on March 31.
According to police, a 38-year-old driver said he was assaulted by the driver of a pickup truck, and he identified Haynesworth as the driver.
The way I see it -
Haynesworth had a drama-filled second season in Washington. He was suspended for the final four games of the season without pay for conduct detrimental to the team. Haynesworth played in just eight games with zero starts, recording 2½ sacks. He is under contract for the 2011 season. But his relase should be imminent. Cut your losses....

Poor Tiger on His Way Back in Dubai
Tiger overcame a poor start in windy conditions to shoot a par 72, one shot behind leader Rory McIlroy and two others going into the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic.
On dusty day in the desert when the wind reached 28 mph, Woods showed an uncanny ability to repeatedly rally. He finished with a total of 7-under 209, behind second-round leader McIlroy (75), Denmark's Anders Hansen (71) and South Africa's Thomas Aiken (74).
Woods shouldn't even be in contention going into Sunday. But the tough conditions took their toll on most of the top players, with McIlroy finishing at 3 over and Sergio Garcia - who was eight shots ahead of Woods after nine holes - finishing at 3 over and tied with Woods and five other players.
In an uneven round, Woods had an eagle, four birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey.
"The fact I was able to battle from 4 over par and put myself with a chance going into tomorrow, I'm proud of that," Woods said. "Hopefully, I can build on that."
Woods started badly with bogeys on the first two holes, mostly from errant drives that went well left of the fairway. He pulled a shot back on the third with a birdie. But he bogeyed the eighth and ended up with a double bogey on the ninth after his approach shot got caught up in the wind, dropped just short of the green and rolled in the water.
At the turn, Woods showed some of his trademark resilience. He responded with an eagle on the 10th, chipping in from 35 feet. He followed that with a birdie that seemed to settle him down. But after running off several pars, his putting woes returned with a bogey on No. 16 - prompting Woods to swear before ending with "Come on Tiger."
The former top-ranked player pulled out on all the stops on 17, driving to the back edge of the green on the 359-yard hole. But his chip ran past the hole and he missed an easy birdie putt.
He played cautiously on the 18th, choosing to lay up rather than drive the green. It paid off when he managed to curl in a 30-foot putt, prompting a fist pump as the gallery cheered.
Woods is seeking his first tournament victory in more than a year. He won in Dubai in 2006 and 2008.

Carmello
The NBA season is reaching its climax. The playoff picture is beginning to take shape and teams are falling out of the race, or fighting to stay alive for another day. Teams like the Lakers, Celtics and Heat barring a monumental collapse all figure to be in the playoffs at season's end. However, there are still teams out there doing their best to stay in the playoff hunt.
With the trade deadline just over a week away, GMs are on the phone checking to see who is available. One name that seems to have been available all season is Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are hanging on to the seventh spot in the Western Conference, so it seems silly that they’d trade their best player.
Nevertheless, Carmelo is asking for a three-year deal and somewhere around $65 million, which may be more than the Nuggets can afford or are willing to pay, even for a player like Anthony. However, after the LeBron James saga this offseason it seemed inevitable the spotlight would fall on Anthony and where he decided to play in 2011-2012.
Those headlines came earlier than expected this year.
There were rumors that he was headed to the Nets in a three-team trade. A trade that would have involved 11 players (including ‘Melo) was shot down after the Nets backed away last month.
Now the question is where will Carmelo go?

Mubarak Won"t Step Down
President Hosni Mubarak refused to step down or leave Egypt and instead handed most of his powers to his vice president Thursday, enraging protesters who warned the country could explode in violence and pleaded for the military to take action to push him out.
The rapidly moving events raised the question of whether a rift had opened between Mubarak and the military command over the uprising demanding the president's resignation. Hours earlier, a council of the military's top generals announced it had stepped in to secure the country, and a senior commander announced to protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square that all their demands would soon be met, raising cries of victory that Mubarak was on his way out.
Several hundred thousand had packed into Tahrir Square, ecstatic with expectation that Mubarak would announce his resignation in his nighttime address. Instead, they watched in shocked silence as he spoke, holding their foreheads in anger and disbelief. Some broke into tears. Others waved their shoes in the air in contempt. After the speech, they broke into chants of "Leave, leave, leave."
Organizers called for even larger protests on Friday. After Mubarak's speech, around 2,000 marched on the state television headquarters several blocks away from Tahrir, guarded by the military with barbed wire and tanks. "They are the liars," the crowd shouted, pointing at the building, chanting, "We won't leave, they will leave."
Hundreds more massed outside Mubarak's main administrative palace, Oruba, miles away from Tahrir in the Cairo district of Heliopolis, the first time protesters have marched on it, according to witnesses and TV reports. The residence where Mubarak normally stays when he is in Cairo is inside the palace, though it was not known if he was there.
Prominent reform advocate and Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, whose supporters were among the organizers of the 17-day-old wave of protests, issued a Tweet warning: "Egypt will explode."
"The army must save the country now," he said. "I call on the Egyptian army to immediately interfere to rescue Egypt. The credibility of the army is on the line."
President Barack Obama appeared dismayed by Mubarak's announcement. He said in a statement that it was not clear that an "immediate, meaningful" transition to democracy was taking place and warned that too many Egyptians are not convinced that the government is serious about making genuine change.

From Fox Business News
Investors will be watching quarterly results from a handful of bellwether companies next week, including prominent names from the health insurance, reinsurance and food and beverage sectors.
Republican leadership aides have said the party intends to formally release a budget proposal next week. Both the House and Senate must pass a new spending measure by March 4 or risk a possible federal government shutdown.
Meanwhile, customers next week will finally be able to pick up a Verizon Wireless iPhone.
Dow Jones Industrial index components Walt Disney Co. (DIS: 40.71, 0.00, 0.00%), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), Coca-Cola Co. (KO: 62.56, 0.00, 0.00%) and Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT: 31.20, 0.00, 0.00%) are among the companies scheduled to report their latest quarterly results next week.
All four companies are expected to report improved revenue from a year ago, with Kraft and Coca-Cola's growth expected to be the strongest, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Kraft's results have benefited from the company's acquisition of Cadbury, while Coca-Cola last year completed the acquisition of the North American operations of its biggest bottler.
House Republican leadership unveiled a plan to fund the federal government through the remaining months of fiscal 2011 that would generate $32 billion in savings from current funding levels. Republican leadership aides said the party planned to formally release a budget proposal next week when lawmakers return to Washington. Both the House and Senate must pass a new spending measure by March 4 or risk a possible federal government shutdown.
On Thursday, customers will finally be able to pick up a Verizon Wireless iPhone. The device is expected to help the carrier nab new customers, as well as push its own base to upgrade to pricier data plans. For Apple Inc. (AAPL: 346.48, 0.00, 0.00%), getting on Verizon Wireless more than doubles its addressable market.
President Barack Obama will address the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Monday, with plans to discuss his "commitment to growing the economy and making America more competitive," according to White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ: 47.44, 0.00, 0.00%) is expected to unveil several mobile devices, including a tablet and a smartphone, running on its WebOS platform, which was acquired when the company scooped up struggling smartphone maker Palm. The company is hoping the operating system, which drew critical praise but didn't draw many consumers, will drive H-P's own mobile ambitions.
Kinder Morgan Inc., the largest independent operator of refined petroleum product pipelines in North America, intends to launch its initial public offering Feb. 11. With proceeds that could reach as high as $2.3 billion, it is the second mega-sized private equity deal to hit the market in recent weeks, and would be the largest ever in the U.S., according to data from Dealogic.
Super Bowl XLV is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. EST Sunday at Cowboys Stadium, a game that will feature AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers against the NFC champion Green Bay Packers. Marketers have agreed to spend $2.8 million to $3 million for 30-second Super Bowl spots because the exposure offers a mass audience.

Mubarak Resigns as Head of Party
The Egyptian army began to reassert control around Tahrir Square on Saturday, with the government emphasizing a return to normality while preparing for negotiations with a divided opposition struggling to devise a common strategy.
According to the authoritative government owned newspaper Al Ahram, President Hosni Mubarak has resigned as leader of the ruling National Democratic Party. However, state television reported that Mubarak had accepted the resignations of the leaders of the party, leaving the president's future role uncertain.
Hundreds of soldiers moved into streets around the square that has been the focus of 12 days of revolutionary fervor and the one tangible symbol of opposition success.
Control of the square, or even a return to normal traffic of the area around it, would reinforce the government's message that it would remain in control of the country for the seven months leading to elections — and that President Hosni Mubarak need not resign as the opposition demands.
Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq said on state television that stability was returning to the country and that large demonstrations like the one that took place at Tahrir Square on Friday would not succeed in forcing a regime change.
"We haven't been affected and, God willing, next Friday we won't be affected," he said. "All this leads to stability."
Some feared the relative calm was only a prelude by a show of force by the military
"All of a sudden, I'm a little bit worried that something will happen," said Amr Said, a 24-year-old student, as little boys scampered through the crowds in Tahrir carrying trays of bread on their heads. In the afternoon chill, people swarmed stands serving up hot cups of tea.
Fatima Khalid, a 29-year-old in a head scarf, said government calls for a return to normality might foreshadow a crackdown.
"But they need to understand: For us, this is normal now," she said. "We will never stop asking for our rights.
At one principal entrance to the square, pro-regime demonstrators were allowed to push up against the razor wire strung across the road, literally rubbing shoulders with those waiting to enter the square.
Even with army troops a few yards away, some found the close presence of the pro-Mubarak forces intimidating.
"I think it that is deliberate," said accountant Mohammed Gamal, an anti-government protester. "It is to give the idea that very little stands between us and them."
Moving gingerly to avoid confrontations, the army took over a small side street leading to the square past the Egyptian Museum, where the most intense clashes between pro and anti-government forces has taken place.
Angry protestors confronted the soldiers at both ends of the street, but for the first time the army appeared to have sufficient numbers to maintain control.
"The army joined the police against the people," said Karim Sadiq, 24, as he stood in the side street with several hundred other protestors attempting to maintain control of the area.
Before nightfall, protestors continued to control a large section of downtown Cairo to the east of Tahrir Square, setting up barricades and searching anyone who wanted to enter.
Inside the square an Egyptian general sat on a white government car near the museum with a megaphone, calmly and at times jokingly urging the protestors to go home and to trust the new government appointed by Mubarak.
While the prime minister addressed the "stability" concerns of Egyptians invested in the regime, Vice President Omar Suleiman planned to meet with a broad array of opposition leaders, including the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, to discuss proposals for how to proceed toward elections for a new president in September.
Ahmed Magib, a youth movement organizer, said protestors have a number of demands, such as the removal of Mubarak, regime change, constitutional reform and guarantees protestors will not be arrested or intimidated by security forces.
"Mubarak leaving would appease the crowd a lot," said Magib, his voice hoarse from days of protesting. "But that would only be halfway. It's not good enough. We want regime change."
He added that young organizers were worried that their voices weren't being heard as the government and traditional opposition parties, including the Muslim Brotherhood and Ayman Nour's El Ghad Party, look for ways to nudge Mubarak aside and form a transitional government.
"The old opposition parties don't represent the young people. Everyone needs to realize that it was the young people who brought about this change. We need to be heard."

From Goodells Presser - NFL in LA/CBA/18 Game Schedule
Reporting from Dallas — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that team owners are committed to working out a collective bargaining agreement with players and are ready to engage in "intense negotiations" with the NFL Players Assn. to get one done.
The current deal expires after March 3, opening the door to a lockout that could threaten training camp and possibly games in the 2011 season.
Goodell, speaking at his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference, said he hopes something can be worked out "in the next few weeks."
"This is the window of opportunity to get this done right," he said. "Otherwise, uncertainty is going to seep into all of our operations ... I say, let's get to work, let's get an agreement that works for everybody."
Goodell spoke on several other topics:
-On an 18-game regular season: "Repeatedly, the fans have said the quality of the preseason doesn't meet NFL standards. That is one of the basis on which we started to look at the 18-and-two concept, by taking two of those low quality, non-competitive games and turn those into quality, competitive games that the fans want to see; they want to support."
-On the $700-million naming-rights deal for a potential stadium in downtown Los Angeles: "It's obviously a positive development because it's an important revenue stream, but even with that positive development the financing of the stadium in Los Angeles is still a very difficult proposition. We have to get the Collective Bargaining Agreement addressed in such a way as to make it so that it is a smart investment that can be financed so that we can create the kind of economic activity in Los Angeles that I believe can happen if we're successful, whether it be in downtown or out in the City of Industry."

Egypt
What will happen? Will Hosni step down? Will America support a new President that is pro Islam? This will play out over the next weeks and it will be interesting to see what transpires. Isn't this what President Bush wanted?
Using Twitter more lately than my blog as you may have noticed. Wish I could link the two accounts....

My Lakers Win 16th NBA Title
It's not very often that you can say "your team" won a pro sports championship. Just ask Cubs Fans... or Maverick Fans... or any number of long suffering fans of the many pro sports teams there are in America. I am lucky that as a young boy and teenager, I had a great father who loved sports and took me to games of my now favorite teams.... the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Los Angeles Lakers.
That is why it so poignant, with my Dad gone since 2005 that his favorite NBA Team just won it's 16th title. He loved the Lakers just as I do and I know he would be proud of the way I rooted for "our"team.
Kobe and the boys did it Dad!!! I love you....
