Before things turned. (By John McDonnell - TWP) Good news: Jason Taylor was on Sirius NFL Radio's "The Sirius Blitz" with Adam Schein on Friday morning, and he didn't have one bad word to say about Daniel Snyder. Praised him effusively, in fact. No, Taylor's criticisms...

This ad appeared on page E4 of Friday's Express. Duffy's is that bar across the street from the 9:30 Club. I really don't have too much more to say about this, except for the obligatory Jeez. Oh, and is it really "Happy Holidays" season already? Oh, one more thing...

I make my living from burrowing into the slimy little corners of ridiculous local sports soap operas, and even I'm sick of this one. Literally every day there's something new to write about that has absolutely nothing to do with the men in tight clothes who throw around the...

Before I get to the headline, the John Riggins transcript from his Wednesday appearance on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" has been updated with Riggins's full comments. Perhaps the most interesting additional comment came at the end, when host James Brown asked Riggins...

It'll be tough to top that day in October when four separate sections of The Washington Post issued critical reports on the Redskins, from Financial to Style to Metro to Sports. (That was also the day I waited five hours to get my daughter's H1N1 vaccine, which is why it'...

I've already shown a few D.C. sports fans in their Halloween get-ups, but that's not going to stop me from showing a few more. Above, please see a pair of Wizards fans inspired by DeShawn Stevenson's neck tattoo of Abraham Lincoln. You can see that they went different ways...
Leonsis admits he's no hockey expert

Whether the author intended this or not, it's impossible to read Ted Leonsis's latest blog post and not immediately think about another local sports franchise, its owner and its fan base. How about I quote one passage and then you try to guess the franchise, okay? Lately I...

Of the many dozens of "Fan Protest" ideas that have been floated among Redskins fans this fall, the "Mail in Your Fan Card" thing seems to have gotten the most traction. See, more than 26,000 page views on Extreme Skins. (View the Fan Card here or here.) The instructions...
I thought the Cavs don't care about D.C.?

Washington Post

Mighty strange way of showing indifference. (Yes, I'm projecting here. A television network is not the same as a basketball team.) (Yes, I might as well just send a personalized letter to LeBron reading "please care about us please care about us please care about us.")

For the past couple of days, I was thinking how maybe Cleveland fans and Washingtonians should get together. You know, how Browns fans, tired of a decade of losing, are planning a protest to grab the owner's attention. That whole thing. (Leaders of the Browns fan revolt actually...

Within the past few hours, many of you received a fan survey from the Redskins, titled 2009 Washington Redskins Ticket Holder Satisfaction Survey. This seems to be a good time for something like that, and whether coincidental or not, it was sent out right around the time that Daniel...

Washington Post

(2006 photo by Streeter Lecka - Getty) This is a big week for DeAngelo Hall. He's going to be far more involved in the Redskins' punt-return game. He's debuting a line of t-shirts. He's blogged about how the Redskins are like a wounded animal. And he has promised to...

Chatting at 11:30. See here. There are plenty of reasons to like Flip Saunders, among them that he seems to have helped restore the Wizards to a state of competitiveness. Here's another one: take a look at what he did to the Wizards' practice gym. Now, this isn't a new...

Sure is tough to go more than a day or so without a Redskins story involving one of the team's supposed potential hires. Monday, it was Mike Holmgren, lashing out at the Redskins' treatment of Jim Zorn. Sunday, it was Bill Cowher, sitting there and grinning while his "...

I can't even count the number of e-mails I've gotten with proposals for how to really send a message to the Redskins' front-office, from group walk-outs to group boycotts to group backs-to-the-field to group marches. (Ok, I probably could count the e-mails, since I'...

It's possible D.C. sports will never have a more fruitful Halloween sports weekend. I was hanging out with a two-and-a-half year old ladybug in Western New York, but I thought I'd pass along a few images. Anyone else, send 'em in. The Wizards played their home opener on...
