Santana Moss Is a Social Butt-R-Fly Man
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Curious about whether or not Santana Moss rejoined the 1,000-yard club this season (note: he did not), I stumbled upon this most curious photo:
That would be the Santana Man at his 29th birthday party. It was a Social Butt-R-Fly Entertainment event, their first actually, and it was co-hosted by Sum Poosie Energy Drink.
Now, I know [...]
Jason Campbell Has a Geico Commercial
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008JC’s obviously having a big year, but there aren’t many non-partisans who thought he was headed that way prior to the season. Count Geico among the believers.
During the broadcast of Skins domination in Philly, Fox played a new Geico spot starring Campbell and a Lumberg-esque agent. It was just OK for me, dawg, but the [...]
Head’s Up Heady Brahs, WaPo Has a New* Mad Sweet Lax Blog
Friday, May 23rd, 2008As far as I can tell, Lacrosse is a sport for righteous dudes who smoke a lot of pot and aren’t very good at other sports. And American Indians. The former is why all my friends in high school played it. I’ve never understand the interest in lax, like, at all. It basically strips hockey [...]
Warning: D.C. Area Residents May Soon See Increase in Vehicles Sittin’ Sidewayz
Monday, April 28th, 2008We still simply cannot figure out why the Skins used their third pick on wide receiver Malcom Kelly on Saturday after having already selected a WR and a receiving tight end. Whatever the reason for picking Kelly, we can no longer be too upset about it after seeing this video of him “freestylin’” (although it [...]
My Favorite Player in the 2008 NFL Draft
Thursday, April 24th, 2008MJD is conducting Q&As with draft picks over at Shutdown Corner, and today’s subject, Georgia Tech RB Tashard Choice, is a gem. Read the interview, and dig this pregame speech that MJD dug up while researching:
Honestly, if Smash Williams had delivered that before a Dillon Panthers game it would have come off as too scripted. [...]
Caddy the Dog and the Worst Story Ever
Monday, April 14th, 2008So I’m at a wedding shower this weekend, talking to someone who just moved back to D.C. after four years in Hawaii. We’re back in the cut (as Wilbon used to say), watching the couple open gifts, when he says to me, “Do you want to hear a story?” I say, “Sure.” And he says:
“Hawaii is the [...]
Prince Is Revolutionizing MLB Fashion
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008In the never-ending debate between wearing one’s baseball pants high and tight vs. low and baggy, I’ve always sided with the former. Call me old fashioned, but I like my socks pulled high, my ball players fat, and my tobacco chewed.
But what I witnessed today during the Cubs-Brewers game could put an end to this [...]
Chapel Hill Fire Trucks Are Carolina Blue
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008I visited Chapel Hill briefly yesterday, just long enough to eat at Ye Olde Waffle Shop (not to be confused with Ye Olde Waffle House) and notice that the fire trucks are painted Carolina Blue:
The Carolina Blue fire truck tradition began in 1996 to commemorate the joint purchase of Engine 32 by the Town of [...]
MD Fan Gives Scheyer the Scheyer Face
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Here’s yet another example of our stunted way of dealing with Maryland’s terrible loss to Clemson (though it may not be so terrible if they squeak into the NCAA Tournament) … by mocking Duke. Via the Turtle Sports Report message boards, it’s some dude giving Jon Scheyer the Scheyer Face:
Good form, my friend, got the [...]
New Oriole Luke Scott Is a Heat-Packer
Sunday, February 24th, 2008Luke Scott is the only guy I’d heard of that Baltimore got in return for Miguel Tejada as he racked up an .885 OPS in 663 at-bats over the past three seasons. Not bad, especially in light of Tejada’s lifetime .821 OPS and declining defense.
What I didn’t know about Scott (no relation to Mike or [...]
