Monday, August 22nd, 2011Ian Desmond has had a crappy year, but the Nats beat Philly and took the series thanks in part to his ninth inning, two-out, two-strike, game-tying homer. The day after Ian Desmond Bobblehead Day, no less!* [WaPo, NE]
Correction: Desmond Bobblehead Day was actually Saturday (see below). This post has been updated to reflect the error.

Ryan Zimmerman Really Is Mr. Walk-Off
Sunday, August 21st, 2011This is from Friday, so you probably saw it, but here it is for posterity:
Allow me to list the awesome things about this, beyond that it was a walk-off grand slam to beat the Phillies in a Phillies fans-filled Nats Park:
– The Phillies fan who got the HR ball actually raised his arms in triumph.

Redskins Have the NFC East’s Best Fans
Thursday, June 30th, 2011This, according to ESPN.com’s NFC East Blog (via Burgundy Blog):
Best fan base, Redskins: I have lived among Eagles fans. I have lived among Giants fans. I have ample experience with a wide variety of people who are passionate about their teams — Red Sox fans in Boston, Chiefs fans in Kansas City, Red Wings fans [...]
DMV: Albert Haynesworth to the Eagles?
Thursday, June 16th, 2011First, when a headline asks a question the answer is usually “no.” Second, note that this rumor is based on an “Eagles source familiar with the organization’s thinking” and the fact that Philly now employs Al’s D-line coach from Tennessee. And third, I do not want them to play a motivated Haynesworth twice/year, so the [...]

Who to Root For in the NFL Playoffs, For the Disgruntled Redskins Fan
Thursday, January 6th, 2011Because they’re rooting, you see?
It’s January, and we’re on the eve of the opening weekend of the NFL Playoffs, which, for Redskins fans, means we’ll be watching other teams play. Sure, it’s a sad time of the year, but BUCK UP buddy! It’s still football! And we can still concoct really stupid reasons to root [...]
Jayson Werth Is Worth More to the Nats, Because They’re Not Really Werth-Worthy
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010This is 48 hours late, but those are the breaks when you have house guests, a 2-year-old, an 8-week-old and a full-time job. Anyway, there’s a lot to tackle here, so I’ll do what any good hack does: Respond to Jayson Werth’s seven-year, $126 million contract in a pithy little tit-for-tat format.
Werth’s contract is …

Fred Davis — [...]
Redskins-Eagles II Open Thread
Monday, November 15th, 2010Head over here to discuss McNabb’s new contract.
I do not anticipate enjoying this game a great deal, primarily because it’s of the utmost importance to the Redskins’ playoff hopes, but also because it’s Monday Night Football, meaning it will take forever and feature Jon Gruden.
In any event, a win puts the Skins one game back [...]
