Monday, June 22nd, 2009Last Friday, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio posted an item claiming that “the Redskins have a problem. And its name is Clinton Portis.” Dramatic. So, what was the problem? Well, according to a “source” who could quite literally be anyone, CP and Zorn’s relationship is having some issues:
Multiple sources have advised us that Portis shows [...]
Marion Barry and I Arm-in-Arm, Eye-to-Eye
Monday, June 22nd, 2009“I think [the Redskins name] is degrading and disrespectful. This happened in a time when you didn’t have that kind of attitude going on…you know, an era that went on that should have been changed to another name …
“Now we have to figure out how we can get the Redskins back in the District of [...]
DMV: Fedex Field Tailgating Under Attack
Monday, June 22nd, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
This is tenuous and may just be aimed at the DTC, but something we love is at stake. City Paper’s Dave McKenna reports that the Skins emailed ticket holders with two new rules for 2009:
“Tailgating is permitted only in the last few rows of each lot.”
“All [...]
Overpaid Ex-Redskin to Possibly Become Underpaid UFL Player
Friday, June 19th, 2009Adam Archuleta, who the Redskins made the highest paid safety in NFL history back in ‘06, was selected by the still nameless Las Vegas franchise in last night’s UFL draft. This means that Arch Deluxe (sigh) has the option to sign with Vegas and play in the UFL or continue being an unemployed former NFL [...]

Anatomy of a Rumor: Favre-to-Redskins
Thursday, June 18th, 2009You may have already heard a little something about a Favre-to-Redskins rumor this morning. If you haven’t, there’s a decent chance you will at some point today. Now, first of all, calling the rumor shaky would be an understatement. Actual rumors are offended that we’re even labeling this rumor a rumor. There is nothing to [...]

I’ve never seen anyone more into dudes getting creampied than your 2009 Orioles. Roch has the video (see above), which is at least the fourth such celebration this season. Imagine if they were any [...]
Terrell Owens, Still a Douchebag
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009So, here was some exciting front page ESPN.com news today: T.O. found a rental home in Buffalo. Renting: Smart choice for Owens, who has a tendency to move from city-to-city quite frequently. According to the article, the home is 4,500 square feet and was leased to him by area real estate agent Maureen Flavin, who [...]
Recommended: The Sun’s Looking Glass
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009The Sun’s nascent Toy Department blog lost a key figure when new WaPo Skins reporter Rick Maese was laid off in the O’s press box not long ago, but it keeps on keepin’ on, especially with this rad “Through the Looking Glass” series of vintage Baltimore sports pics. Case in point, here’s a 20-year-old Jim [...]
DMV: JaVale McGee Is Getting Swole
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Here’s five minutes of a shirtless Epic Vale doing pull-ups and ab work, as soundtracked by slow jams. I’ve no idea who the intended audience is, or why McGee uploaded it to YouTube and shared it on Twitter, but I’m glad he’s in the weight room. [...]
