Tuesday, January 29th, 2008For those who don’t know (and I don’t know why you would), I’m in Arizona for the Super Bowl. Well, not actually for the Super Bowl itself (in other words, I don’t have tickets to the game), but to “cover” the whole fiasco for SportingNews.com, and more specifically, for The Sporting Blog.
Much like Will Leitch [...]
Charlie Brown Is Heading Downtown
Monday, January 28th, 2008The 1980s was my elementary school decade, and following Super Bowls our crossing guards would hand out Redskins police cards. They were marvelous, with big, colorful pictures of our heroes on the front and life lessons on the back. Needless to say, the women handing these things out became more sought after than crack dealers, [...]
Rachel Bilson Is Likely Quite Stoked
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Based on the fact that the Brothers Mottram watch Project Runway and use hair product, it should come as no surprise that we loved The O.C. (yes, even after Marissa died). So naturally we have a special place in our heart for Summer Roberts, who showed up at the X-Games last night in the form [...]
Ovechkin Wins the NHL’s Dunk Contest
Sunday, January 27th, 2008In case you weren’t aware, it’s NHL All-Star Weekend and the league has instituted a breakaway contest to spruce things up. It was judged by Dominique Wilkins, Riggins from Friday Night Lights and two other guys, and honors were taken by Washington’s own Alexander Ovechkin, whose finest moments resulted in no goals but plenty of [...]
The City Gets Snubbed, Dunks on LeBron
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Despite our best efforts, Nick Young isn’t in the Dunk Contest, and I can’t say I have a problem with that. Jamario Moon is nasty, Rudy Gay is a bigger name, Gerald Green is the champ and Dwight Howard is the top contender. Plus, the Wizards rookie already posterized LeBron this week (still pic), and [...]
Why Replace Al Saunders With Jim Zorn?
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Let’s not get into why Gregg Williams isn’t good enough to be head coach. Or why Russ Grimm hasn’t even been interviewed. Or why Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato seem to be infatuated with Jim Fassel, Steve Spagnuolo and/or Josh McDaniels. For now, let’s focus on why they fired offensive chief Al Saunders and replaced [...]
They’re Not Saying ‘Tea Bag Paulus,’ They’re Saying ‘Mooovers’
Friday, January 25th, 2008Yet another video from last night’s Tech-Duke game. This one — according to the video’s info — is of the Tech fans chanting “tea bag Paulus.” I almost, sort of make that out once or twice at the very beginning, but whatever they’re chanting after that is unknown to me:
Whether or not they’re actually saying [...]
That’s it, Mike Patrick Must Be Stopped
Thursday, January 24th, 2008If you’ll recall, it was one week ago that Mike Patrick couldn’t keep Paulus’ balls off his chin. Well, during tonight’s VA Tech-Duke game, Patrick was back at it.
Both of the plays in the following video happened — as you’ll be able to see — in the first five minutes of the game, so you [...]
Over 80% of Fans Consider Potential Fassel Hiring Bad to Quite Bad
Thursday, January 24th, 2008The Washington Post has created a poll today asking readers to vote on the following question: “How would you rate the selection of Jim Fassel as head coach?” The poll will be open for several more hours, so the results are still coming into, but Mr. I has projected the winner to be “horrible”:
By clicking [...]
Cooley, Samuels Will Wear No. 21
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I promise that Mr. Irrelevant has not become an RSS reader for the Redskins Insider, but La Canfora just posted that Captain Chaos and the greatest most overrated tackle in pro football will honor Sean Taylor during the Pro Bowl:
According to the Redskins, Cooley and Samuels plan to each wear a jersey with Taylor’s No. [...]
