WASHINGTON -- Luis Sharpe, a 12-year veteran of the Phoenix Cardinals' annual visits to RFK Stadium, remembers past trips darkly."We've had some very disappointing, cruel losses here," said Sharpe, a three-time Pro Bowl left tackle. "And we've been blown out in a lot of games by a very good team."Cruel losses and angry blowouts have come to represent the lopsided rivalry between the Cardinals and the Washington Redskins at RFK. For years, it seems, the Redskins have been plucking the Big Red with surprising ease.

BOBBY -- The Weinstein Company Home Entertainment / $28.95 Writer-director Emilio Estevez's Bobby focuses not on the life of Bobby Kennedy, or on his legacy, but on his example. In an era when the idea of celebrity has become meaningless and role models are a dime a dozen, that alone makes it one of the most important pictures of 2006. Set at Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel on June 5, 1968, the day of the California primary, Bobby focuses on a handful of guests and workers. Martin Sheen and Helen Hunt portray a well-to-do couple celebrating their 10th anniversary, while Lindsay Lohan and Elijah Wood depict newlyweds, married solely to keep the husband from being drafted and sent overseas to Vietnam.

BOSTON -- As old Robert F. Kennedy relatives, friends and supporters gathered here at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to observe the 25th anniversary of his death this weekend, the inevitable what-might-have-beens were heard.Some were obvious. Had he lived and been elected president in 1968, as one panelist put it, "there would have been no burglar tools in the White House" in the Watergate scandal four years later. Richard Nixon as president and his vice president, Spiro Agnew, would not have been forced to resign in disgrace in the country's most corrupt period.
