gag order. “I don’t want to get fined. So I’m going to do what the commissioner says,” Leonsis saidwith a laugh. “The commis- sioner is a very smart man. We’re all best served to judge what you see in front of you, and not what happened in the past. For me, I have to be that way because I wasn’t here.” When he took over for the
Pollin family in June, Leonsis asked fans to “re-embrace” Are- nas, who remains the Wizards’ most talented and highest-paid player and has more than $80 million remaining on his con- tract. Leonsis met with Arenas at
his home in McLean last May and said he has spent a lot of quality time with his team’s most intriguing personality. “I believe Gilbert paid a real-
ly big price and I have empathy for the price he paid. Something that he loves was unattainable to him for three years, through injuries and the incident last year,” Leonsis said. “He’s excited about the upcoming season and Iwant to do nothing that gets in the way of his passion and excitement and love for the game and for the fans. The best way to re-bond with the fans is to play well. And people will sense right away, whether or not he’s back. I can’t talk about it, he can’t talk about it, he has to do it. And what I’ve seen, I’ve been very impressed.” Arenas is expected to draw a
lot of attention when the Wiz- ards have their annual media day on Monday. He was once the face of the franchise, but his banner was yanked from the side of the arena last season and the team is headed in a new direction, deciding to rebuild mostly through the draft and around No. 1 overall pick John Wall. Leonsis said there is plenty to
ask Arenas aside from the gun incident. “It doesn’t serve anyone’s in-
terest to have Gilbert talking about what happened a year ago when the focus should be on the new season,” Leonsis said. “How will Gilbert work with John Wall? I think that’s fair game. ‘Are you healthy?’ ‘Are you excited about playing again? How do you think this team has been constructed?’ That’s all fair game, but to talk about other matters in the past doesn’t help the league or the team.” Arenas and Stern have spo-

Eagles’ Reid defends integrity after elevating Vick to starter
ASSOCIATED PRESS The decision tomakeMichael
Vick the starting quarterback meansAndyReidwasn’t fibbing about one thing: the Philadel- phia Eagles aren’t in rebuilding mode. After insisting all along that
Kevin Kolbwould startwhen he returned from a concussion, and one day after saying Vick was going back to the bench despite two dazzling perfor- mances,Reid changed hismind. Why? Vick gives the Eagles (1-1) a
better chance to win in a divi- sionthat lacks adominant team. A three-time Pro Bowl pickwith Atlanta, Vick is playing at an even higher level now. “There’s not a thing that
changed with Kevin Kolb,” Reid said Wednesday. “This was all aboutMichael Vick and the way he has played the game. It’s that simple. He has played as out- standing as any quarterback in the league to this point. “He exceeded even my expec-
tation. Kevin Kolb has a bright, bright future.My feelings about Kevin haven’t changed one bit. ButMichael has surprised all of us with his play.” Vick has thrown for 459 yards
and three touchdowns, run for 140 yards, and posted a comple- tion percentage of 63.8 and passer rating of 105.5 in 1½ games. Critics are questioning Reid’s
integrity because it appears he wasn’t being forthright, though it’s possible he simply changed his mind after carefully study- ing his options. His reputation has taken a hit publicly, and
some of his players may lose trust in him because he went back on his word. “If I’m the bad guy, I’m okay
with that,”Reid said. “I think it’s important the players know I’m going to do what I think is right for them. How I’m perceived outside of them, that’s not my concern.” l CHARGERS: Holdout wide
receiver Vincent Jackson re- mains a member of the team despite his agent saying he had deals in place with several teams beforeWednesday’s dead- line. Agent Neil Schwartz said he
heard from multiple general managers, whomhe declined to identify, that the Chargers were asking for “wholly unreason- able” compensation for Jackson, a Pro Bowler who had two straight 1,000-yard seasons. Schwartz said another GM told himthatChargersGeneralMan- ager A.J. Smith seemed to be “squatting” on Jackson. “Multiple teams have toldme
that they can’t get a deal done with A.J.,” Schwartz said. Schwartz said the legal lan-
guage with one team was al- ready drawn up and ready for Jackson to read and sign. That was a one-year deal with an option,with an average salary of more than $9million. Schwartz declined to identify that team. It waswidely reported the Vikings were amajor suitor. Under terms of a deal ar-
ranged by the NFL and the players’ union, Jackson had to sign a new contract by 4 p.m. EDT in order to play for a new teaminWeek 5. Meanwhile, running back Ryan Mathews didn’t practice
and said he has a high ankle sprain. Mathews said the train- ing staff will decide whether he’ll play Sunday at Seattle. l JETS: Cornerback Darrelle
Revis will not play against Mi- ami on Sunday night because of his strained left hamstring. “I want to be out there with
them, but I can’t,” Revis said. “I’m just going to take my time and get back to 100 percent.” l STEELERS: Charlie Batch,
a longtime backup, will make his first start since 2007 at Tampa Bay (2-0) on Sunday. Coach Mike Tomlin picked

Guard Gilbert Arenas is returning after serving a 50-game suspension after bringing guns into the Wizards’ locker room.
ken several times since the commissioner suspended him and Javaris Crittenton last Jan- uary. Stern advised Arenas to maintain a low profile this offseason, to help the Wizards reach their goals as a team and to focus on his career and getting healthy after missing significant time following three knee surgeries. Arenas, who was limited to
just 47 games the past three seasons,worked outwith train- er Tim Grover in Chicago for the second summer in a row and several people within the organization, including Leon- sis, report he is in much better shape. “He couldn’t be more enthu-
siastic andwishing to get on the court to show his skills as a basketball player and as a team- mate,” Stern said. “I said, ‘You know what Gilbert, I just want to tell you, I’mdelighted to have you back, you’ve paid a heavy price, but you’re in good stand- ing and, as far as I’mconcerned,
you should be talking only about the future and not about the past. And if anyone asks you why, you can say the commis- sioner told you.’ ” Arenas hasn’tmade any pub-
lic comments since appearing in D.C. Superior Court inMarch before he was sentenced for felony gun possession.He stood before Judge Robert E. Morin and expressed his disappoint- ment for an embarrassing situa- tion that cost himmore than $7 million in salary and tarnished his reputation. “I am very sorry, you know,
that this all happened,” Arenas began. “Every day I wake up wishing that it didn’t.” His lengthy statement may
now serve as his last words on the subject. Stern, who turned 68 on
Wednesday, has handled many storms in 26 years as commis- sioner, but chuckled when asked how the gun incident affected him and the league. “Uh, honestly,” Stern said, “I don’t even think it makes the
