The record is 413.

Chewing the fat

"A new study found that running for two minutes is just as good for you as working out for 90 minutes," noted NBC's Jimmy Fallon. "That doesn't sound like a study — it sounds like something a chubby guy says after being on the treadmill for two minutes."

Love that car

Rookie running back Alfred Morris has the only 1991 Mazda 626 parked among his teammates' much fancier cars in the Redskins' players' lot, and he has no plans to upgrade the ride he calls his "Bentley."

"One day, my kids are going to drive that car," he told Redskins.com. "If it breaks down, I'm gettin' it fixed. That's just how I am."

Shotgun finish

A man living next to a golf course in Reno, Nev., took the law into his own hands when a ball went crashing through one of his windows, landing him in jail and one of his targets slightly wounded.

"Jeff Fleming grabbed his shotgun and shot at the two golfers," reported Ian Hamilton of the Regina (Sask.) Leader-Post. "He put holes in one."

Not buying it

"I just Googled the word 'disingenuous,' " wrote Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, "and up popped Dwight Howard's full-page ad in the Orlando Sentinel thanking the same Magic fans he maneuvered to leave stranded."
