ASHBURN, Va. . -- Weve seen the fourth-quarter comeback. Weve seen the Barney socks. Weve heard about the studiousness and the leadership. Weve heard the disarming jokes. Where does one stop and the other start? For Robert Griffin III, its a well-defined line. "Cant be on all the time," the rookie quarterback said with a smile and a shrug as he strolled through the Washington Redskins locker room Wednesday. "Guys would get discouraged. Youve gotta be fun to be around." Athletes are well-known for having on-off switches. Some of the nicest guys around become maniacs when they put on a uniform. Still, knowing when to be goofy and when to be serious isnt as straightforward as it sounds, as anyone in any workplace knows. Teammates and coaches say Griffin already has it down pat, even though hes just arrived in the NFL. "Real professionals are able to do that," linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. "Some players arent able to separate the two, but he has a great knack, especially for a young guy." The Barney dinosaur socks made another appearance in the locker room a week ago. Griffins weekly session with reporters is always good for at least a couple of good chuckles. Before Sundays game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he was high-fiving and posing with fans when he emerged from the tunnel -- something most players dont do -- then flipped on the serious side in a matter of moments to start pregame warmups. By the end of the game, any doubt that Griffin studies the playbook and takes practice seriously was eradicated when a malfunctioning headset forced him to improvise during the game-winning drive in the final two minutes. Griffin cleverly anticipated a blitz on the second play based on the result of the first play, so he called a quick pass that turned into a 20-yard gain for tight end Fred Davis. Once the 24-22 win was complete and the Redskins were 2-2, Griffin naturally was in a festive mood with his teammates, but he was the only quarterback to celebrate a victory Sunday by stopping to sit on the stadium tunnel floor and do the now-familiar "Griffining" pose with Olympic track and field medallist Kellie Wells. "Everybodys got a different personality," coach Mike Shanahan said. "Robert, its very natural for him to be very businesslike. He does have a great sense of humour, where he can change very quickly from being very serious to being in a very jovial, joking mood. But things come pretty easy to him." Teammates say its no doubt a product of Griffins background. Both parents were in the military, where on-duty and off-duty are clearly delineated. "He was just brought up in that sense to know that, hey, when its business, its business," receiver Santana Moss said. "Hes all about business when youre really around him, and then being a young guy, youre going to have to live some time -- and you can see that in him. He has fun. You can tell that this is not just something that he dreamed about and now hes here. Nah, he takes this very seriously." Notes: Griffin wore pink cleats and a pink left glove at practice as part of the NFLs annual breast cancer awareness campaign. The sleeve he always wears on his left arm was white, but he said a pink sleeve was on the way. ... Sundays game was the first in which Griffin deliberately put his hands in the air after handing the ball off instead of pretending he still had it, part of a plan to reduce the number of hard hits he takes from defenders. Shanahan also made it to point to discuss the matter with the referee before the game. "One time I carried out my fake and didnt put my hands up, and he came and found me, and he said: Make sure you put your hands up," Griffin said. "They protected me a lot more out there as a quarterback, which is how its supposed to be." ... WR Aldrick Robinson, who suffered a concussion in a pregame collision Sunday, will undergo tests Thursday to see if he can resume contact.

After months of warnings, the IOC executive board imposed the sanction when the Indian Olympic Association failed to comply with the world bodys demands for holding independent elections. The decision, first reported by The Associated Press, was announced at an IOC news conference after the executive boards first day of a two-day meeting in Lausanne. IOC spokesman Mark Adams said India was suspended "due to its failure to comply with the Olympic Charter and its statutes and failure to inform the IOC in a timely manner." Under the suspension, the Indian body will stop receiving IOC funding and its officials will be banned from attending Olympic meetings and events. Indias athletes will be barred from competing in Olympic events under their national flag, although the IOC could allow them to do so under the Olympic flag. "The IOA has lost all the rights covered by the Olympic Charter," said Pere Miro, director of IOC relations with national Olympic committees. "Today, for Indian athletes it is not possible to take part in any competition under IOC jurisdiction. The IOC has always had the intention to protect the athletes. But for the moment, there is no exception." India, with a population of more than 1 billion, has failed to pull its weight in the Olympic arena, in contrast with neighbouring China and its emergence as a global sports powerhouse. India would have few athletes in contention for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, but would hope to resolve the dispute with the IOC ahead of the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. The IOC had repeatedly told the Indian body to adhere to its own constitution and the Olympic Charter and not follow the governments sports code for this weeks elections. The IOC said it will not recognize the Indian elections, scheduled for Wednesday, calling them "null and void." No elections will be authorized by the IOC until all the issues have been resolved, Miro said. [url=http://www.buccaneersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-jeff-demps-jersey-ct... Demps Jersey. "The election process was tarnished since the beginning," he said. "What is absolutely clear is that what has happened in the past is null and what happens now is the same." While its not clear how much money in total will be withheld from India, Miro noted that each national Olympic body receives about $90,000 a year in direct IOC grants. The bodies receive more money on top of that for scholarship, coaching and other development programs. The Indians have been mired in wrangling over the elections to replace Suresh Kalmadi, who was jailed for nine months on corruption charges related to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. Kalmadi, who headed the IOA for 16 years, decided not to seek re-election. The Indian vote, originally scheduled for last month, has been postponed to Wednesday following the resignation of election commission chairman S Y Quraishi. On Friday, the IOA announced the appointment of some officials to posts that were not contested in the elections. Appointed as secretary general was Lalit Bhanot, who is also facing graft charges relating to the Commonwealth Games. But Miro said the appointment of Bhanot and other officials would not be recognized by the IOC. Indian Sports Minister Jitendra Singh called the IOC decision "very unfortunate, more so for sports persons." "Im only concerned about the sports persons, am waiting for details," he told the Times Now news channel. Abhey Singh Chautala, whose unopposed election as IOA president is not recognized by the IOC, told reporters in New Delhi that a suspension would be a "one-sided decision." "We had written to them, asking them to give some time to our two-member committee to tell them about our position," he said. "Theyve not listened to our side. We will go to IOC again and explain to them how elections were carried out here." The IOC had also recently threatened to suspend Kuwaits Olympic committee, but the Gulf nation amended its sports law last week and was not hit with an IOC sanction on Tuesday. ' ' '
