Tuesday, May 14th, 2013With the wound from Caps-Rangers Game 7 still gaping like a Braden Holtby-protected net, let’s chronicle the repeated failures of D.C.’s pro sports teams over the past seven or eight months. A few notes before doing so:

Friday, May 10th, 2013During the barrage of NFL Draft content recently, Deadspin posted a couple of infographics with the totally non-confrontational headline You’re Better Off Guessing Than Listening To Mel Kiper.
The infographics are tough to reproduce because, being infographics, they rely in part on being ridiculously oversized and somewhat baroque, but basically what they show is this: on [...]

Monday, February 11th, 2013The Redskins are currently leading their website with two employees at a high school that still uses the name “Redskins” for its sports teams. And guess what? They like it!
A separate but seemingly related Larry Michael propaganda video features another person from another high school that uses the nickname. I’ll warn you, though: It’s enough [...]
Trent Williams Got Cut In Hawaii (Update: And Also Tasered)

Sources: Trent Williams was involved in altercation last night resulting in him needing stitches, being pulled out of Pro Bowl.
