with the redskins, i do -- i'm starting to like the redskins as well. >> whoa! now, if it comes to a super bowl between the two? >> i will go with redskins. >> by the way, also in a wild card game, they take on the indianapolis colts in baltimore tomorrow at 1:00. as the skins make their playoff push, team memorabilia is flying off the shelves ahead of tomorrow's game. >> a manassas family is hoping to add to their collection, if they have the room for it. audrey barns took a tour of the ultimate redskins man cave at the duval family home. >> reporter: a lot of football fans have a signed helmet or two, but a manassas family has dozens of them. in fact, they have so much redskins memorabilia, it fills an entire garage. jimmy duval started collecting redskins stuff with his dad when he was just a kid. he basically built an addition to hold it all. we have autogra, flags, pictures, just collectible shot glasses, you know, whatever's got red skin logo on it, we buy it.

>> we are just disgusted at what's happening with justin wolf and the case and the amount of money that the state of virginia has spent on appealing. >> wolf was accused of ordering a hit on a drug dealer to avoid having to pay him. the man who actually pulled the trigger testified that wolf had given him the money, but he's changed his story several times. . turning to a developing story now in alaska, more than 600 people working recovery the oil drilling ship that ran aground on new year's eve, still could take until spring to remove the barge because of harsh weather-related difficulties. fox news correspondent dominic has more. >> reporter: weather conditions have plagued this recovery of the rig off the coast of alaska. what's being described as a coastguard-led -- is bringing in a fleet of 14 support ships, as well as dropping off those crews
