Alex Ovechkin was slated to be this week’s SI cover boy, which would’ve been awesome, considering the Caps have *never* graced the cover of SI before. [...]

D.C.’s Finest Redskins Reporter Is About To Hit The Open Market
Tuesday, March 19th, 2013The Washington Examiner is ceasing to exist in its current form, which is a bummer, but the only way it affects me personally is it means John Keim will be out of a job, however temporarily. Keim, you see, is probably the best Redskins reporter going, and someone (the Post? CSN? 980?) should scoop him [...]
Mike Wise And Redskins Reporter Rich Tandler Get Pissy On Twitter
Friday, March 15th, 2013This is about as juicy a D.C. media Twitter beef as you’ll ever have tweetside seats to. For context, what Comcast SportsNet Redskins reporter Rich Tandler is referring to is Mike Wise’s Redskins column in today’s Washington Post. I didn’t find it overly offensive, but whatever: TWITTER BEEF!
* You’ll see that we instigated a bit, [...]
The Definitive Washington Post Sports Columnist Power Rankings
Wednesday, February 20th, 2013Kevin Reiss, who is a guy I follow on Twitter, asked something interesting the other day:
How did Mike Wise come to be the best, sorry, least worst, sports columnist at WaPo?
He then went on to rank the Washington Post Sports columnists from “least worst” to worst. It was an exercise that was relevant to my [...]

SI Cover Jinx Attempts To Derail The O’s Unlikely Bandwagon
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012Endy Chavez, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis share the Orioles’ second SI cover in 16 years (the other is Matt Wieters two years ago), even if Markakis is on the shelf and missing this sweet September action. Bonus points for it being the Washington-Baltimore “Unlikely Sports Capital” issue as well, with features on Davey Johson [...]
DMV: Sam Huff Is Not Happy
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012Our own JP Finlay paints the picture of a grumpy Sam Huff at the Redskins lunch. Sounds like he’s unhappy with Dan Snyder for being pulled back on Redskins radio, even if it’s a long time coming. [Capital Comment]
