« Previous EntriesTed Leonsis Is Very Concerned About ‘The Bloggers’
Friday, November 9th, 2012Ted Leonsis, who probably didn’t read our “Eight Reasons This Year’s Wizards Are Already So Depressing” blog post, had this to blog about his 0-3 team:
It is all within. It all depends on the point of view of the writer. It is all fair game. We must be accountable and we must win some games [...]
Ted ‘Leonsis $$’ Caps Jersey Foul
Monday, February 27th, 2012As seen by Mr. Irrelevant correspondent Andy Peden at Friday’s Caps game:
It’s unclear whether this custom jersey is a celebration of the Caps owner or some kind of protest fashion, but this much is known: It’s foul.
In other news, today is the NHL trading deadline. Homer McFanboy has five Caps players to watch, and Caps [...]
Some Tough Love For Ted Leonsis
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Here with a guest post is our Redskins-Giants Predictions winner JDP.
Ted Leonsis is either fraudulent or incompetent.
His constant “be patient” mantra to fans and media on the Capitals’ lack of postseason success is getting old. Ted loves pumping his own tires and telling everyone how great the Caps are. He loves promoting the image that [...]
The Washington Capitals, Alex Ovechkin, and the Other F-Word
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011Caps Correspondent Brad Parker returns to address this important issue.
So, we’ve all seen it by now. Benched late in a game last week Ovi called Bruce Boudreau a “fat fuck.” Two words launched a billion tweets.
It was not the first time that the Caps have been associated with that hurtful f-word. Here’s a brief history [...]
Sports Blogging 101 With Ted Leonsis
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011In our second installment of Tweak the Ted we take a look at Leonsis’ blog post chiding Puck Daddy and Capitals Insider for reporting that Semyon Varlamov was going to the KHL and that Leonsis had deleted a blog post, respectively. Note that the source for the former was Varly’s agent and the latter is [...]
Looks Like Ted Leonsis Forgot to Pay the Bills …
Monday, April 18th, 2011… for his sweet personal blog, Ted’s Take:
Don’t worry, Ted fans, this sort of thing happens now and again for us blog folk. It usually means you forgot to pay your domain hosting bill, which is something like $100 a year, or .000001% of Alex Ovechkin’s salary.
Meaning, his site should be back in [...]
DMV: The Wiz Have a New ‘Big Three’, You Guys
Thursday, April 7th, 2011Ted Leonsis: “A new big three has announced its arrival – Wall, Crawford and Blatche.” What a triptych! [Ted's Take]
To be fair, a lot’s happened since the Wizards last won 3 in a row. [TBJ]
Don’t get too excited about Jordan Crawford, though, Wiz fans. [SB Nation]
What’s up with Andray Blatche sudden, late-season improvement? [TAI]
Firing up [...]
Ted Leonsis Would Like You to Know the Washington Post Isn’t What It Used to Be
Sunday, March 27th, 2011On Friday, Dan Steinberg posted about Ted Leonsis’ proclivity for blogging about the Caps’ injury woes. He told the story through Leonsis’ words and debunked it with data showing the Caps’ health to be league-average.
On Saturday, Leonsis posted about Steinberg’s post, tearing the Washington Post sports department a new asshole:
Even though court stenographer Dan Steinberg [...]
Verizon Center to Use Really Cool New Gadget to Sell Same Old Shitty Beer
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011The Phone Booth’s new Bottom’s Up beer dispenser (via We Love DC) is a neat novelty, and I’m sure it’ll help Uncle Ted move more units of beer, but polishing a turd (or a Bud Light) only goes so far.
You know what I’d really like instead of a quickly-poured-but-still-expensive beer? Dogfish Head. Or something from [...]
Leonsis ‘Partial to Red’ for Wizards Unis
Thursday, June 10th, 2010From Ted’s lips at today’s press conference announcing his group’s ownership of the Wiz (via Bog Man Dan):
“There will be no name change, and even if we wanted to change the name, you couldn’t do that for years. It’s not a secret that I am partial to red. And we’re the nation’s capital. And that [...]
