Tuesday, March 31st, 2009This is days old and has been plastered across Yahoo!, so half of America — sports fans or not — has seen it, but it’s about one of my favorite players and by a terrific writer, so here we are.
Now, it’s not that Jeff George is a player I like, necessarily, it’s just that he’s [...]

Kwame Brown Was Quite the D.C. Foodie
Monday, March 30th, 2009Kwame Brown made it back to D.C. over the weekend to take on his old team as a member of the Pistons. If you didn’t know Kwame as the unforgettable superbust of the decade, then you’d probably think he played for Washington in the early 50’s based on what he had to say to Steinz [...]

VY Thinks Highly of Haynesworth
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Here’s Vince Young, some other dude and a very intoxicated Albert Haynesworth at LenDale White’s birthday party back in December. Watch as they ponder life’s mysteries, such as why girls always have either large breasts or rotund buttocks, but never both.

Mr. Irrelevant at 5: Remembering SBL
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Continuing our self-congratulatory series, “Mr. Irrelevant at 5″ (It’s our birthmonth, y’all!), here’s a post that was originally published December 22, 2006 and titled “Remembering Sports Bloggers Live 1.0″. Like Gilbert’s 25th birthday party, the original was lost when AOL killed off its blog platform, so here it is, as it was, warts and all [...]

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
