Wherever Cris Dishman has gone in his four-year Houston Oilers career, the spotlight was certain to follow. Two events tell what kind of spotlight it was:* In the 1989 season opener, as Minnesota tight end Carl Hilton lie on the Metrodome turf with a concussion, Dishman, a cornerback, stood over him, barking.* In a 1990 preseason game again in Minnesota, Dishman intercepted a pass and was rolling toward the end zone when he held out the football in a taunting gesture . . . and dropped it, costing the Oilers a touchdown.

LANDOVER -- Celebrated Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell seemed ordinary yesterday and 245-pound running back Natrone Means didn't bruise too many Washington Redskins tacklers.It just wasn't supposed to happen that way, as the previously unbeaten Jaguars and their explosive offense lined up against a Redskins defense that was considered suspect."Everybody talked about how great Jacksonville was, but they failed to realize we had Darrell Green over there on our side and didn't even mention him," Washington cornerback Cris Dishman said after a surprising 24-12 victory over Jacksonville in a steady rain at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.

A fire ripped through a two-story rowhouse in Southwest Baltimore early yesterday, killing a 67-year-old woman and leaving five people homeless in the middle of winter. Mildred Jean Dishman, a Baltimore native who families members say devoted her life to raising five children and helping raise 15 grandchildren, was found dead in her home at 328 S. Calhoun St. Firefighters extinguished the two-alarm blaze about 5:55 a.m., an hour and 40 minutes after they arrived. As fire officials investigated the cause of the fire yesterday, family members and neighbors huddled near a heap of charred rubble in front of Dishman's home, struggling to find answers.

Ed Dishman knew that the no-parking sign wasn't there when he left his car at the North Linthicum light rail station. After tossing him in jail for a night, the police found out he may be right.The Crownsville resident rode the light rail to an afternoon Orioles game on June 2. Because the station parking lot was full, he parked on a nearby residential street.When he came back, Mr. Dishman, 56, was incensed to discover a $10 ticket on his windshield and a temporary, cardboard no-parking sign stapled to a nearby tree.

It may be the biggest game within the game.It's the Ravens No. 1 passing game against the Washington Redskins' No. 1 pass defense. It's Ravens receivers Michael Jackson and Derrick Alexander against Redskins cornerbacks Cris Dishman and Darrell Green.And then there are the X-factors -- Ravens slot receiver Jermaine Lewis and hulking tight end Eric Green. How will the Redskins cover them, and with whom, in Sunday's game at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium?So far, Dishman and Green have limited big plays from the Jacksonville Jaguars' Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith and the Dallas Cowboys' Michael Irvin and Anthony Miller.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Oilers stayed undefeated last night by beating the Kansas City Chiefs at their own slow-down game 17-7.It was more impressive than the Oilers' first two blowouts against the Los Angeles Raiders (47-17) and Cincinnati Bengals (30-7) because it revealed that coach Jack Pardee's team has as much patience as it has firepower. The combination means trouble for the NFL's American Conference.Warren Moon's 4-yard touchdown pass to Haywood Jeffires on the last play of the third quarter broke a 7-7 tie at the end of a 93-yard drive.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Often second-guessed for a lack of imagination and success on draft day, Washington Redskins general manager Charley Casserly went on a first-round trading binge yesterday that left him with the marquee player he wanted, three first-round draft picks next season and a net gain of three draft selections.Casserly silenced his critics at least temporarily by bringing in an immediate-impact player in triple-threat Georgia cornerback Champ Bailey and building for the future with the three first-round choices and the three lower-round picks gained.

LANDOVER -- John Elway took the day off to rest his strained right hamstring yesterday.But it didn't matter too much.Many of the Washington Redskins' players also took the afternoon off, even though they lined up to play against the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos.The result was predictable and ugly for Washington, which fell to 0-4 and was nearly blown off its home field for the second time this season, being humiliated by 4-0 Denver, 38-16, at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.Elway's backup, Bubby Brister, has seldom looked better, and Terrell Davis didn't seem to extend himself too much to gain 119 yards on 21 carries.

Record: 6-4Last game: Beat the Detroit Lions, 30-7, Sunday at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.Highlights: Gus Frerotte quieted the boos of the Washington fans, completing 20 of 41 for 247 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He was helped by the return of wide receiver Michael Westbrook, who caught four passes for 93 yards and drew a 25-yard pass interference penalty in the end zone to set up a touchdown. Terry Allen rushed 31 times for 94 yards and one touchdown. The Redskins defense was outstanding, led by backup cornerback Darryl Pounds, who replaced an injured Cris Dishman and intercepted two passes, returning one 22 yards for a score.

Washington Redskins linebacker Marvcus Patton prefers to treat today's matchup with the Tennessee Oilers in Memphis "like an exhibition game where there aren't many people in the stands."Running back Stephen Davis wants to pretend as though it is like any other game on the 16-game schedule and "just go out and play."Cornerback Cris Dishman will be thankful he is wearing a Redskins uniform instead of the Oilers jersey he sported for nine years.Quarterback Gus Frerotte wants to think about how fortunate the Redskins will be "to do things we normally can't do in road games, like hearing audibles and snap counts."

Father timeCris Dishman of the Houston Oilers was a bleary-eyed father for yesterday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.The veteran cornerback was at the Oilers' hotel in Kansas City a few minutes before midnight Saturday when Karen Dishman called from Houston to say she was going into labor.The Oilers, who got into a controversy last season when offensive lineman David Williams missed a game to be with his wife when she went into labor, quickly lined up a charter flight to Houston because there were no commercial flights that late.

PHILADELPHIA -- A few minutes after the Washington Redskins were humiliated, 24-10, by the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday, Redskins cornerback Cris Dishman said: "I hope everybody got a good picture of this, because they will never see me play this bad again."From the Washington angle, there were almost no good pictures of anything that happened at Veterans Stadium on a summer-like afternoon.The Eagles pounded the Redskins with a punishing rushing attack and an aggressive defensive game.Philadelphia rolled up 26 first downs to 12 for Washington, 449 total net yards to 228, 203 net yards rushing to 30, and 13 first downs rushing to one.The Eagles' defense came after Gus Frerotte, forcing him to dance around in the pocket just to get off several passes.
