“Accountable, competitor, humble, leader, versatile.”
—The five words Brian Orakpo chose at a pre-draft camp to describe how he’d like to be perceived by fans.
EXPANDING HIS FIELD B
BY RICKMAESE
rian Orakpo is getting ready for his close-up. His makeup artist for
the afternoon, Trish Martinez, goeswithCARGOblu-ray around his eyes,MakeUp ForEver on his cheeks and Burt’s Bees on his lips. But the final touch for the day’s photo shoot is themost important — the milk moustache, for which she opens a small carton of Greek yogurt and dabs it on Orakpo’s upper lip. ¶ “Me being naive, I thought it was actual milk they use,” says the Washington Redskins’ talented linebacker. ¶ Orakpo’s emergence as a dangerous pass rusher came last season,when he tallied 11 sacks as a rookie and earned a spot in the Pro Bowl.Nowin his second year, Orakpo has seven sacks through eight games and is on pace to surpass last year’s total. ¶ He’s trying to take full advantage of his football success by capitalizing away fromthe field. ¶ Orakpoand Creative Artists Agency, which representshimonandoff the field, have been methodical and deliberate in their marketing approach. CAA encourages its clients to focus on football during their rookie seasons. If they thrive on the field, year two is the time to spread theirwings away fromit.

Rookie goes down in third quarter but returns as his team falls to Bulls, 103-96

chicago — Midway through the third quarter, JohnWall buried a three-pointer from the left corner but began to grimace as he ran down the court. He started reaching for his left foot, but couldn’t stop for long, since the Chicago Bulls were setting up on offense.Wall noticed Luol Deng cutting toward the basket and slid in front of him to take a charge and suddenly the Wizards’ night became more challenging. Deng plowed overWall,Wall fell back-
wardandinto the rightkneeofteammate Yi Jianlian. Yi collapsed to the ground and grabbed his knee. His blank expres- sion didn’t reveal the severity of the injury, but his inability to move certainly did. After being assisted off the ground, Yi was helped to the locker room by teammates Hamady Ndiaye and Kevin Seraphin. Jianlian suffered a bone bruise on the play and did not return. Wall continued to play through the
pain, but his night was over shortly thereafter, leaving his teammates to trudge along in his absence. Gilbert Arenas, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Young helped keep the game competitive until Wall returned late in the fourth quarter,

buffalo—Consistently this season, the Washington Capitals’ second period has been their strongest. Saturday night against the Buffalo Sabres, it proved to be their undoing. The Capitals took careless penalties
and allowed the struggling Sabres, who entered the contest without a win on home ice, to pin themin their own zone. The momentum of the contest swung so that even when the game drifted to overtime, Buffalo still held an emotional edge. With a minute remaining in the extra session, Sabres sniper Thomas Vanek scored his second goal of the contest for a 3-2 Buffalo victory that snapped the Capitals’ winning streak at six games. “I thought the second period was our
worst period of hockey that maybe I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” Coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I’m really upset about how we played and how we came out [in

charlottesville—The party erupted in the visitors’ locker room. Maryland’s offensive coordinator leapt into a pile of players. An assistant sprayed a water bottle as if it were champagne. And the head coach bounced, jiggled and rolled his hips, an attempt at dancing.
sightly performances at Scott Stadium for the better part of 18 years, the Terra- pins unleashed a dominant effort Satur- day, pulling awayfromVirginia in a42-23 rout that will be long savored because of the ramifications. Maryland (7-3, 4-2 ACC) guaranteed
itself a winning regular season and at least a .500 record in the ACC. With that came what is believed to be a significant step toward ensuring Coach Ralph Fried- gen’s return in 2011, though first-year athletic director Kevin Anderson re-
mained noncommittal about Friedgen’s return after the game. The Terrapins also moved within two
wins of clinching the ACC Atlantic Divi- sion title. Though they have yet to beat a conference team with a winning record, the fact that they control their own destiny is an improbable development considering they won two games last season and were predicted to finish last in the division this season.
