Wearing a dark gray suit and a burgundy-and-gold-striped tie, he walked without crutches down the red carpet.

If the Redskins want to start playing the disrespect card right now they can. The defending NFC East champs are tied for the longest Super Bowl odds in the division. The Giants, who were 9-7 and in second place, and Cowboys, the third-place team at 8-8, are both 20-1. The Eagles, who were a dismal 4-12 and will be starting over again with new coach Chip Kelly, are also 25-1.

Super Bowl: A win for Big Brother, a new conspiracy for Oliver Stone - The Washington Post
Finally, Big Brother fought back.
