Monday, July 30th, 2007Peter Rosenberg, who famously posted the YouTube music video ‘This Is Why Duke Sucks’ (and, more recently, ‘Bowlin’) has nothing to worry about. His spot in the ACC hoops MC game is safe and secure, despite this great find by The Dude Abides: a battle-rap response from the dorks at Duke.
What’s that saying? When folks […]
Photographic Evidence That the Orioles Used to Be Really Good
Monday, July 30th, 2007These six HOFer are the primary reason why the O’s had only three losing seasons and played in six World Series between 1960 and ‘85. Total studs, each and every one. Too bad I didn’t consciously follow the team until ‘86, because from then till now Baltimore has only had five winning seasons and never […]
Redskins Report: The Year of Sellers?
Monday, July 30th, 2007Training camp has begun, which means the Washington Post dedicates two pages per day to the Skins. That would be overkill, except a hefty bit of said real estate goes to Bog Man Dan Steinberg and the uncovering of gems like the New Hair Report.
The star of this piece is fan favorite Mike Sellers, […]
Cal to the Hall, Iron Man to the Rescue
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Cal Ripken’s finest moment came on the heels of his sport’s worst, as the victory lap of 2,131 “saved baseball” from the canceled World Series of 1994. Today, he enters Cooperstown, and, however briefly, delivers us from the muck and the mire of a week of dog fighting, referee scandal and 755 falling in shame.
There’s […]
Jason Campbell Is an Outstanding Actor
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Anyone who lives in the D.C.-area has long since be familiar with the Eastern Motors commercials. They feature, or have featured, a long list of athletes who either play in the area (ex. Clinton Ports, etc.), or are from the area (ex. Carmelo Anthony). The real key to their success is their amazingly […]
Commissioner Cal Ripken, Jr.
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I must say, it does have a ring to it. I wish I could claim that the idea of Cal replacing Bud as commish was my own, but it comes from a brain far more advanced than mine. Ozzie Guillen laid this bit of brilliance on us a couple days ago:
“He knows the rules […]
D.C. Blogger Happy Hour: Success!
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Some of the gang, left to right: Gheorghe the Blog, Awful Announcing, Miss Chatter, Littles, Jamie Mottram, Unsilent Majority.
Awkward moments: Check. Drunkenness: Check. Discussion of the proper way to credit other blogs within a post: Double check!
We didn’t have as much fun as these guys (you really MUST watch that), but it was indeed […]
Blog Show No. 17: ‘Suck Walnuts’
Saturday, July 28th, 2007So we viewed Blog Show last night at DC Sports Bloggers Happy Hour IV (more on that later). The scene was Bungalow Buffalo Billiards, a big, loud place with TV’s displaying closed captioning, and about eight minutes into it, our transcripted flow was broken up with with the following message: “Talking over each other.”
Perfect. In […]
