Friday, September 25th, 2009Olaf Kolzig, whose 1990 Score rookie card I still cherish, retired this week, and here are 10 things/videos to remember him by. Of those, we’re pretty much obligated to go with his vintage Caps commercial, which is one of the finest athlete ads ever made. [DC Landing Strip]

Your 2009 Nats and O’s Are the Worst Shared-Market MLB Teams Since WWII
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Since joining forces with Chris two-plus years ago, we’ve made 224 posts about the Nationals and 132 about the Orioles. This is what happens when you grow up in a one-team area and another moves in after the roots have run deep. Also, when you have a blog and lots of time on your hands.
Some [...]
My Bro Thought This Was Dexter Manley
Thursday, September 24th, 2009When played the audio of this clip and asked to name that D.C. Sports personality, Chris guessed Darrell Green. When given a chance at redemption, he went with Dexter. Yeah, no.
Hear for yourself on Blogs With Balls Radio, which Chris went on to discuss his role at the new SB Nation among other things. And [...]

2009: A JMU Football Photo Essay
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009I took in a game at Bridgeforth Stadium Saturday in Harrisonburg for the first time since graduating from James Madison 10 years ago, and it’s crazy how much has changed. For instance, Bud Light comes in JMU colors:

Skins-Rams Winners & Losers
Monday, September 21st, 2009WINNERS:
Jason Campbell. 23-for-35 for 242 yards. He’s now completed nearly 70% of his passes, a number that would be higher had Devin Thomas and Mike Sellers both not dropped touchdown passes yesterday. JC certainly wasn’t perfect, but he also wasn’t the reason this team couldn’t score touchdowns.
Chris Cooley. Seven catches for 83 yards — a [...]
DMV: Staying Medium Is What They Are
Monday, September 21st, 2009Note: Chris may have a Skins Winners & Losers up later on. As for me, I was on the road listening to Sonny and Sam, which is to say I have no idea what happened.
Further proof that the 2009 Skins are the same as the ‘08 Skins: They struggle with St. Louis, can’t score, [...]

DMV: Nick Young Enjoys Listening to Coldplay, Maroon 5
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Quiet down class! The Brothers Mottram have called in sick this morning [ed. note: week], so we, the DC Landing Strip, will be your sub today. We’re new here but we’re not naive; so don’t think you’re getting away with that name-switching shit during roll call.
To start us off this morning, a shameless plug nice [...]
