Mystics at Dream When: 3 p.m. Where: Philips Arena, Atlanta.
Records:Washington (21-12), Atlanta (19-14).
All themarbles: TheMystics can claimthe franchise’s first Eastern Conference regular season titlewith a win over theDream, regardless of the outcome of any other contests. ShouldNewYork or Indianawin their finales to create a tie,Washington would emerge as the higher seed by virtue of a better head-to-head record against both clubs. If theMystics were to lose however, they could drop to third and lose home court advantage if both the Fever and Liberty,who hostMinnesota and Connecticut respectively,win.
Got Lang?: Despite statistics that put her in theWNBA’s top 10 for rebounding, points, shooting percentage and efficiency,Mystics forward Crystal Langhornewas not named to the USA Basketball national women’s teampool thisweek, causing an uproar among Washington fans andwomen’s basketball pundits. “I’mglad everyone’s been so supportive ofme, but the committeemade their choice,” said Langhorne,whose teammates displayed a “USAGot Lang?” T-shirt in the locker room beforeWashington’s 75-74win over NewYork on Friday.

Roethlisberger gets start though he’ll miss games
Pittsburgh’s star quarterback could be suspended six weeks
ASSOCIATED PRESS Ben Roethlisberger was solid
in his first preseason action with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Playing for the first time
since being suspended sixgames by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy, Roeth- lisbergercompleted6of8passes for 76 yards and led the Steelers on a long drive in making the start against the New York Gi- ants.
Roethlisberger also threw an interceptiononthe second of his three series before giving way to Byron Leftwich with 7:09 left in the second quarter. . . . Giants wide receiverHakeem
Nicks and Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor were ejected in the opening minutes of the game for throwing punches. The ejections came on the
fourth play afterD.J.Ware of the Giants had a 4-yard run to the Steelers’ 49. Nicks was blocking Taylor

Ben Roethlisberger could miss the first six games this season, but he started in the Steelers’ second preseason game.
Oakland’s opening 81-yard TD drive. The six-time Pro Bowler played in only one regular-sea- songamea year ago because of a wrist injury. l BRONCOS: Denver is play-
ing it safe with Tim Tebow’s bruised ribs, resting the rookie quarterback in its second pre- season game against Detroit. Tebow had plenty of compa-
ny on the sideline as the Broncos were without 16 players, includ- ing Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, linebacker D.J. Williams andwidereceiverBrandonStok- ley.
l BUCCANEERS: Tampa Bay
quarterback Josh Freeman hurt the thumb on his throwing hand during the first quarter the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. There was no immediate an- nouncement on the severity of the injury. The second-year pro left the game after the Bucs’ first
rookie Sam Bradford, was hit by Browns linebacker Chris Go- cong on a third-down pass. Fee- ley completed the throw but came up holding his right wrist. He stayed in thegameandthrew a9-yardtouchdownpass to tight end Daniel Fells. l CHARGERS: San Diego
says left tackle Tra Thomas, 35, has retired, leaving the team woefully thin at a crucial posi- tion. Thomas was signed as insur-
ance when it became apparent that Marcus McNeill might stage a prolonged holdout. Thomas, a 12-year veteran, had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. General manager A.J. Smith
didn’t return a call seeking com- ment Saturday. l FALCONS: Atlanta lost
rookie wide receiver Kerry Meier to a season-ending knee injury. Meier, a fifth-round pick
from Kansas, suffered the injury in Thursday night’s 28-10 pre- season loss to the New England Patriots. Coach Mike Smith said the
team has ample depth at the position and would not immedi- ately attempt to acquire another wide receiver.

JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST Rookie offensive lineman Trent Williams gets the better of Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs, on ground.

he could get away with his mischievous behavior while the substitute teacher took over the class for two years.Now that the disciplinarian is back, he doesn’t want to go to the principal’s office. We said many signs of
progress, not all. Beyond the obvious injuries

Trent Williams, a mere rookie – theNo. 4 choice in the 2010 NFL Draft—has been the most consistent offensive lineman in training camp. But against Terrell Suggs, a
real pass-rusher, he struggled. He just wasn’t fast enough to keep up with an elusive guy who faked out the rookie several times. Plus he bruised an elbow at some point in the first half and came out of the locker room with his arm in a sling. None of his play led to
McNabb getting hurt or crumpled. And much more experienced offensive lineman have done worse against Suggs. But in about three weeks,
DeMarcusWare is going to be on the other side of that line. That’s got to be a concern for this team, especially if Williams is nursing any kind of injury. All in all, there is not a lot to

be fussy about with Washington’s offensive line. Yes, they only have one quality back- up in StephonHeyer. But a lot of good clubs are
not deep. The Cowboys just lost two starters, who probably won’t be back for the regular
season opener Sept. 12 at FedEx Field.
Still, beingMcNabb’s bodyguard, protecting his blind side, is the most important job this season after the quarterback’s. This can’t be repeated
enough. . .if he goes down, everything crumbles: The dream of competing for something that matters again immediately, offseason gambles, everything. Some other observations:
enough of this Albert saga. Start the big fella now. AlbertHaynesworth should
not be playing second team in the preseason, even as a punishment for being a malcontent or having a headache. Kentucky Derby winners don’t run inHollywood Park qualifiers after they’ve run for the roses – so why isn’t a guy who has had injury problems either rested or put in with the starting unit? Anything else is a waste of
his talent and sacrifices team objectives – unless the objective is to just humiliate the guy so he doesn’t care and quits entirely. By the way, Jim Zorn and
Dan Snyder never had their long-awaited meeting, either. Snyder, a team official said, made an attempt to seek out Zorn before the game. But the coach the owner fired in January either intentionally or accidentally made sure he was on other parts of the field as Snyder approached. No word whether the new
Ravens quarterbacks coach told Harbaugh to run that fake punt on his former employer. But if I had to guess, I’d say
the Z-man drewit up. As the score got away from
the Redskins’ reserves in the second half, someone hurting for entertainment in the press box mentioned that Washington’s players should take heart – and then tell the Ravens they would see them next in February in Dallas for the really big game. “After all of Baltimore fell
over laughing, I would try to score another touchdown on the Redskins,” came the retort. Indeed, there is no Battle of
the Beltway in football. There never has been, contrary to belief. Deion or no Deion, they have never met in a truly significant regular season game that dramatically altered the course of both teams’ seasons (OK, Stephen Davis, running in a touchdown against the eventual Super Bowl champion Ravens in 2000 was pretty big). Any passion comes from
psychologically wounded Ravens fans, most of whom can’t understand why a Redskins organization that hasn’t won a Super Bowl in almost 20 years continues to live off its past glory and accrue interest and headlines—while their smartly-run franchise racks up playoff and Pro Bowl appearances by the handful. Hey, who plucked Shanahan
andMcNabb in the offseason? That beats Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth. Who makes their best player
on defense run conditioning drills and play with the scrubs in the third quarter of a preseason game? You think Jim Harbaugh would do that to Ray- Ray?
Uh-uh. That’s why
Washington gets the headlines and Baltimore gets the wins.
