All Remains Quiet For the Nationals – The Post

Notes: Team to unveil jerseys – nationals.com
Wednesday is the day that we get to see the new uniforms which will be modeled by P Zach Day and OF Terrmel Sledge.

2 PSU juniors ponder NFL Draft – Patriot-News
I would be surprised if either player is going to be told they are a #1 draft choice, so they will probably stay. DE Tamba Hali could leave early so that he could find the money (even if not 1st round money) to bring his mother to the U.S. from Liberia. It is hard to fault a guy for that sort of thing, but in the end, I think they both stay. Also, scouts want to know why Derek Wake is such an underachiever. Someone will probably pick him up and make him a project.
