Tuesday, June 4th, 2013ProFootballTalk’s Mt. Rushmore series just got to the Redskins. The results:
According to the fans of ProFootballTalk the four faces on the Redskins Mt. Rushmore would be Joe Gibbs, Darrell Green, John Riggins, and Sammy Baugh. Mike Florio had three of those names on his list, but instead of Riggins he thought The Hogs were an [...]
The Untold Story Of That Classic ‘Hogs Night Out’ Redskins Poster
Tuesday, December 18th, 2012Here to collect his Redskins-Ravens Predictions prize in the form of a guest post is Phil Reed, who has a wonderful and unique old Redskins story to tell. Note: Doc Walker himself confirmed portions of what follows.
On a late afternoon in May, I watched the dust kick up from the line of trucks and sport [...]
Is This Cristian Guzman Collage The Most Natinals Memorabilia?
Friday, September 28th, 2012OG Nats blog Capitol Punishment is doing a thing where it names the “most Natinals players.” You know, from the 2006-10 period of Nationals baseball when they were pretty much the laughingstock of Major League Baseball (if not all of sports).
Which got me thinking when I saw this Cristian Guzman dirt collage. Is it [...]
Want: Ted Williams Washington Senators SI Cover
Tuesday, September 4th, 2012Not sure I’ve seen this before. Thanks to Nats Enquirer for sharing it upon the Nats securing Washington baseball’s first winning record since Ted Williams and the 1969 Senators. Look at that Curly W!
The Time We Met Dale Hunter
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Here to tell the story about my brother Chris and I meeting Dale Hunter is our dad, Andy Mottram.
I don’t remember the year (late ’80s/early ’90s), but it was a signing event at the Roy Rogers restaurant on Little River Turnpike in Fairfax. At that time Roy Rogers was one of the main sponsors for [...]

(Please send any interesting D.C. sports plates you see to yours truly.)
The Creepy Alex Ovechkin Doll (Plus Site News!)
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011You may have seen this 14″ plush Alex Ovechkin doll on Caps Outsider the other day, but I figured I’d share it here as well:
The doll, which, as Puck Daddy notes, looks more like Noel Gallagher than Alex Ovechkin, is made by a company called Bleacher Creatures, which specializes in creepy sports dolls.
Creepy though [...]
Mr. Irrelevant Reprint: My Top 5 Baseball Card Sets of the 1980s
Monday, August 22nd, 2011Mr. Irrelevant version 1.0 existed from 2004-07 on AOL Journals. That site is now lost in time, but, thanks to the Wayback Machine, you can find most of what once was. We’ve reprinted a couple of old posts before, and I’d like to keep doing that. So here’s something that originally ran on April 15, [...]
This Desmond Howard Poster Is Amazing
Thursday, August 18th, 2011Come to think of it, drafting Desmond Howard No. 4 overall in 1992 was the “dawn of a new era.” A shitty, spirit-crushing era that feels everlasting. Nice poster though, except for the “magic” part. I don’t know what that’s about, or why it was necessary.
The wall art comes via Fatpickled, which shares five Redskins [...]
Do Not Want: Jim Palmer’s Fitness Book
Friday, July 1st, 2011I just love that cover. The lighting, the type color, the Jockeys, the pose … you can almost smell his musk. And it can be yours on eBay (via Camden Chat) right now for just $6.99. The description:
Here is an excellent condition 1985 First Edition hardcover book with dust jacket. The Baltimore Orioles’ great Hall [...]
