Saturday, January 24th, 2009Mason-VCU was slightly more competitive than the Maryland-Duke laugher, with VCU pulling it out at home to remain atop the CAA. In the end, it was just too much Eric Maynor — whose shorts are still tight — for the Patriots.
Despite the outcome, it was an entertaining, back-and-forth affair containing a couple highlights that had [...]
That Must’ve Been Fun for Gary Williams
Saturday, January 24th, 2009What’s worse than your favorite college basketball team losing to its hated rival by 41? Your favorite college basketball team losing to its hated rival by 41 with Mike Patrick calling the game.
We’ve laid into the Vienna resident plenty of times, and, considering we share an optometrist (shout-out to Dr. Snively!), I don’t feel good [...]
Greivis Vasquez Is an Idiot
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Greivis Vasquez was part of a team that won a game once at Cameron Indoor. Yeah, it was two years ago. He scored 13 points. And you know what this means? He owns that MF’er:
“That’s my house,” the junior guard said. “I love going in there. It’s going to be fun.”
Sigh. Is there any [...]

Kiper Says the Skins Are Taking This Guy
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Mel Kiper has released his first 2009 first round mock draft (via Shutdown Corner), and has the Skins taking Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo at No. 13. Hogs Haven has this to say:
“I’m rather confused with this pick since Jason Taylor and Andre Carter are both still Redskins at this point.”
Unless that’s a joke, it’s [...]
Tracking the Locals: Just G’town, Really
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009We’re a quarter of the way through conference play, and fellow Yahoo! “Big Noise” Evans posts the first Big Board of the season, so let’s look at the local teams, shall we?
Georgetown: No. 3-seed
George Mason (Chris’ alma mater): 13-seed
VMI (our Dad was once institutionalized): 14-seed
American: 15-seed
Maryland: on the bubble
Virginia Tech: also on the bubble (before [...]
Clinton Portis Kindly Allows Others to Get Their Shine On; Pockets Remain Straight
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009This video comes to us via Steinz, who inexplicably buried this piece of gold below the fold today. It’s from a recent party in South Beach, and you’ll want to skip to the four-minute mark for Clinton Portis awesomeness, including this insightful exchange with a “reporter”:
Question: “Why you tried to front on me earlier?”
Portis: “I [...]
Everyone Knows How to Fix the Skins, Except for the People Who Can
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009The Jasons — La Canfora and Reid — at The Post have put together an exhaustive five-pager about the Redskins’ needs, specifically highlighting how they can learn from other teams that have built winners. I’ll admit to having only skimming it thus far, but the section “Some Unsolicited Advice” on the last page was of [...]
Langway’s ‘Stache Is the ‘85 All-Star MVP
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Since boarding the Caps bandwagon on January 7, the hottest team in the NHL has gone just 3-4, including last night’s loss at Ottawa. This is exactly the type of fail our jinx tag is supposed to protect us from, but the power of my jinx must be so strong that I’ve jinxed the jinx.
To [...]

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009I love Barack as much as the next lefty (see: this, see also: this), but Riggo’s got dibs on that shit.
