"Next time, I'm really running," Griffin said. "We've got paparazzi now."

CHEAP EATS: Apparently, playoff revenue has yet to filter down to the Redskins' lunch budget. At 11 a.m. yesterday, two workers unloaded a jeep filled with food from Baja Fresh -- a $6 dollar a plate fast-food burrito joint popular among broke college kids -- and delivered it to the team. Maybe the restaurant chain impressed the Redskins with its nutrition-heavy marketing campaign, but we're not so sure Baja Fresh will leave players feeling particularly light-footed. According to its Web site, the average Baja Fresh burrito weighed in at about 1,100 calories.

CHEAP SEATS: Fighting the urge to go to Seattle this weekend? Well, ticket prices no longer work as your excuse.

On the Internet classified adds Web site http://www.craigslist.com , more than a dozen people are selling upper-level seats to Saturday's game for as little as $120 a piece -- a bargain compared to other NFL playoff games. On the Web site yesterday afternoon, you'd pay considerably more to go to games in Denver ($140), Indianapolis ($170) or Chicago ($235).

CHEAP SHOTS: To avoid insulting native American heritage, the Seattle Times decided to limit severely the use of the term Redskins in the paper -- even if a team with that name will dominate news coverage this week. The Times will not use the moniker in headlines or captions. Reporters can use it only once, as a first reference, in all stories. The Redskins will be referred to almost exclusively as Washington -- which could get a little confusing for local readers who also live in that state.

FRANK TALK: "It's kind of like two different feelings on the team. The defense has momentum, and we're rolling. The offense wants to play better and turn it around after last week."

-- Defensive lineman Demetric Evans

FANTASY TALK: "Sometimes having a week off won't help you. You get used to relaxing, and the off week makes you even more tired."

-- Chris Cooley, on whether the Seahawks have an edge because of their bye week

-- Eli Saslow
