Redskins punter Brandon Banks was stabbed early Saturday morning outside a D.C. nightclub. Perhaps a fight over the team's performance last season? Nope. According to reports, the incident stemmed from a fashion fax paus--the trouble may have started over some comments about the stabbing suspect wearing white after Labor Day. Turns out that a football player getting stabbed over wardrobe insults isn't too strange in the larger picture of off-the-field injuries.
