Ovi has many fans that don’t speak English good. Also, many that party.
Update: Greg Wyshynski informs me that “Is [...]
DMV: Agent Zero Is the New Lil’ Penny
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Correction: This Agent Zero character is the poor, unfunny man’s Lil’ Penny. Found on Gil’s new site, it also breaks Arenas’ media/marketing silence. I kind’ve enjoyed the silence. [Gilbert Arenas, Penny comparison via Mr. Lee]
Gil will also start tweeting if he gets 1 million followers. [Truth About It]
An interesting take on the death and rebirth [...]
Fight Poll: Tony Kornheiser vs. Mike Wise
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009There are no words to describe how juicy the on-air beef between dueling WaPo columnists-turned-radio hosts has become. Actually, there are, and Dan Steinberg has them all, so go read that and vote in the poll to let ‘em know who’s the people’s champ. (Note: I’ve got Wise.)
DMV: ‘Redskins’ It Is, For a While Longer
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009The Supreme Court declined the two-decade-old case to review the “Redskins” nickname.

Danny Smith — He sucks as a special teams coach, but that play was magnificent. Still not sure how it worked, but it did. It really, really did.

Google Calls Dan Snyder Very Bad Names
Saturday, November 14th, 2009Neat little trick here, as shared by @dcsportsbog. If you go to Google and type in “Dan Snyder is,” this automatically appears:
Of course, the same thing happens with “Jerry Jones is,” but whatever.
No, I’m Fairly Certain God Actually Hates Us and the Redskins
Friday, November 13th, 2009From loyal reader Adam Bechtold, whose brother apparently played Little League with Jamie [/cool story], comes this sign outside of Pender Methodist Church in Fairfax:
Religion isn’t really “my thing,” but is this what they mean by “the lord works in mysterious ways”? Because the church says God loves the Redskins, and he’s all knowing and [...]
DMV: Nyjer Morgan Was Robbed
Friday, November 13th, 2009“It’s stunning that [Nyjer Morgan] didn’t win the Gold Glove.” And MVP. And Nobel Peace Prize. [SI]
