Hungry Hogs

You think your grocery bill is high, try shopping to feed a professional football team. A story in Wednesday's Richmond Times-Dispatch reveals just how much food and money it takes to keep the Washington Redskins going during training camp.

In camp, the Skins devoured 1,200 pounds of sliced deli meats, 1,500 pounds of chicken breast, 1,200 pounds of beef, 800 pounds each of fish and rice, 75 seedless watermelons and 2,000 eggs.
