Friday, December 28th, 2007Over the course of 32 episodes, Blog Show rang the bell for at least 164 sites on regional late afternoon cable TV. That’s a lot of bloggers getting their wings right there.
Naturally, some sites get mentioned more often than others, and I’ve tabulated them all and turned it into a fancy list. Here are the [...]
IPFW Has Nothing on Maryland Basketball
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Maryland football plays their bowl game against Oregon State tomorrow night, but that might not be the biggest game of the evening for Terrapin athletics. Sadly, their basketball team’s home game against the Delaware Fighin’ Blue Hens likely holds more value.
After losing Saturday to American for the first time since before television was invented [...]
Dallas Is the Rubber Match of Gibbs 2.0
Thursday, December 27th, 2007After all Washington has been through, it’s down to this. Win at home vs. a Dallas team with nothing to play for, and they’re in the playoffs. Lose, and they’re out. Somehow, it’s even bigger than that.
For Joe Gibbs, the outcome determines the foreseeable fate of his second turn in DC: great success or ultimate [...]

Ben’s Chili, DC’s Answer to Boog’s BBQ?
Friday, December 21st, 2007Of the 11 Major League stadiums I’ve been to,* the best grubbin’s have been a sandwich and sides at Boog’s Barbecue on Eutaw St. beyond the rightfield wall at Camden Yards. ESPN even ranked it No. 1 a few years ago. That may be set to change though. Via DCist:
“[The Washington Post's Marc] Fisher says [...]
Ike Taylor Is the Spawn of DeShawn
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Two days after Steinz investigated Stevenson’s “I Can’t Feel My Face” Movement, Steelers corner Ike Taylor isn’t feeling his face on NFL Network:
Little did I know that this is Taylor’s signature move, as evidenced by his official site naming it “The Face Off.” Lame. I wasn’t feeling my face on the softball diamond like six [...]

Thursday, December 20th, 2007Oh, this is gonna be fun.
The new site Ruin Romo is sprouting up through the cracked sidewalks of the ’sphere in an attempt to, well, ruin Tony Romo as both a quarterback and a man.
The plan is simple: have Panthers fans download Jessica Simpson’s demonic visage, put it on a stick and wave it around [...]
