Despite his famous friends and family, the 26yearold says one of the hardest things about the audition was making eye contact with the judges. It was so bizarre and incredible. But so overwhelming i had to look away. And i like started looking over peripherally i see christina and pharrell and im like i cant look. But am i being rude by not looking. Maybe i should look, but i cant because ill mess up. Well dannof survived the battle round, youll have to watch the voice tonight at 8 00 to find out. Good for him. We hope he makes it all the way. Weve got sports coming up. Dave johnson is going to tell us about a guy, can you see this dude with a star on his hel Kathleen Matthews if we want to be heard, we need women in congress. It was the women who forced republicans to include Womens Health and contraceptive coverage in the Affordable Care act. In congress, ill fight for pay equity, family leave and tougher gun safety laws. And, as an environmentalist, ill work combat climate change. I know as a journalist and as a Senior Executive in business that when women are at the table, we get things done. Im Kathleen Mathews and i approve this message. Its about taking a stand. They crashed our economy. But democrat Donna Edwards wont take their money because she stands up for us. As a single mom, she knows the challenges our families face. Shell be our voice. Tightening regulations on the big banks and fighting to keep dark money out of politics. Democrat Donna Edwards, marylands next senator. Dave johnson has got sports tonight. Heres what we want to know. Hes going to tell us whether hes going to do what hes going do do in that old what, 25, 30yearold car of his . Is he go to pack his stuff on top of that old thing and make his way to where hes going . Thats an investigation were going to have. Last we checked the the 991 car he still has. But we will follow up. Trust me. Well get on the story. I think we could use a feelgood story. Alfred morris, it is. Theres some sadness in redskin nation that morris is going to the dallas cowbo teams on a twoyear contract. But consider morris journey. He set the redskins singleseason rushing record his rookie year after being selected in the sixth round of the 2012 draft. Its been a wild ride in the 1991 car that we think morris still drives. And while morris still has the drive, his numbers have declined every season. Since his Rookie Campaign and the redskins did not keep him off the free agent market. In fact 2015 marked the first season of morris fouryear career that hes not rushed for over 1,000 yards, in 2012, morris then a rookie dominant for the redskins, rushing for a franchise record 1613 yards en route to the nfc east title. He heads to the cowboys, the team that hes had the most success against. And the redskins general manager is happy for alfred morris. Good for him, hes got a home. I wish it was outside division, but thats okay. We made a decision inhouse and it is what it is. A very good person, he has had a good career. The way the nfl works, youre always trying to get better, trying to bring in younger and thats part of the process. You know what i hope he does a nice job, except against us twice a year. So morris has a new home. And Robert Griffin iii might be closer to looking on with the cleveland browns, rg3 impressed browns head coach hue jackson with his honesty and humility. Jackson said today that griffin admitted to him there are things he could have done better for the redskins and jackson added that griffin is open to improving his skills, including reading defenses and a quicker release. No word on an impending deal between the browns and rg3. The innocence of a child. Theyre not children, theyre young men. But isnt it the wonderful innocence when we use the term madness to describe a basketball tournament. The maryland men are still a part of. Theyre back if spokane over the wins over South Carolina state and hawaii and tr the next part of the madness, their tournament journey against number one seed kansas thursday in louisville. Enjoy the moment. Only 16 of us left. You know, well be on the national stage. Playing the Number One Team in the country. Want to enjoy the moment. The rest of us were happy to be here. Last year you know, we was in the same situation, and we didnt get there. To get there now is exciting. Its not over yet. Were trying to go out and win. Were not happy, were just happy being here. Its a little before 7 00 on the 22nd of march. That means life right now is good for the wizards. It could be better. The wizards are still a game and a half out of a playoff spot. But as the hip kids say, the team is trending in the right direction. The fivegame losing streak of ten days ago now seems ages ago. And confidence is being matched by consistency. And now after last impressive 117102 win in atlanta. The wizards riding their first fivegame winning streak. Defense has made the difference. For those five wins, the wizards held their opponents to under 100 points and then health.

And you know to get back. 500 after losing five in a a row. To come back and win five in a row was important for us. You got to take care of what we can. If other teams lose, thats big for us, but we got got to keep competing and playing, playing in ways that theyre going to come in a different mindset. Wizards play the hawks tomorrow.
