Pot Roast: Redskins-Kardashians wisecrack "crap"

Redskins nose tackle Terrance Knighton heard what Trevor Matich and Troy Aikman said about his club over the last few days, and he didn't like it.

It all began when Matich made a comparison between the club and the Kardashian family to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Troy Aikman, calling the Texans-Saints game on FOX on Sunday, added his two cents.

"It's pretty bizarre, huh?" the former Cowboys quarterback said. "Someone compared the Redskins to the Kardashians, saying they're the Kardashians of the NFL. I don't think that's fair. I don't think the Kardashians are nearly as dysfunctional."

Knighton, playing his first season with the club as the anchor of what they hope is a much-improved defensive line scheme, shared his feelings about that with the Washington Post.

"It's really crap to me when you hear people say this is like the Kardashians show and all that," he told Dan Steinberg. "That's not in here.

"I mean, I see all the stuff on Twitter -- sources this, sources that -- but that's the outside stuff. We have a culture in this locker room and a unified front where we're not going to let the distractions hurt this team. It's not going to turn into a soap opera.

"This is not the Kardashians show. We're a football team, we're professionals, and we're going to go out there and win some games."

Head coach Jay Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins would be the team's starting quarterback for this coming season after a poor showing from the once-promising Robert Griffin III. Aikman chided the team during a break in Sunday's game when FOX showed a graphic of the Redskins' three quarterback options.

"We're not getting caught up in who's playing quarterback or who's saying what," Knighton said. "That's not my concern. My concern is kicking the center's ass in front of me."
