GM's wife reportedly pressured by Redskins to apologize

The wife of Redskins GM Scot McCloughan issued a statement of apology on Wednesday after being pressured to do so by the team, according to a report.

McCloughan’s wife, Jessica, maintained a Twitter account from which she trashed ESPN reporter Dianna Marie Russini, accusing the reporter of exchanging sex for scoops. A Redskins spokesperson initially denied the Twitter account belonged to Jessica, but the team later issued a statement of apology on her behalf.

Now Radar Online reports that McCloughan was pressured by the team to apologize and that Jessica believed Scot was having an affair with Russini.
