Hey, all you people who've been bugging me for more Wiz and Caps and less Redskins radio transcriptions better be happy. And better be hitting refresh. Anyhow, one of the most jarring aspects of Wednesday night's Wiz game was undoubtedly the one-armed sleeves worn by Mike Miller...

Well hold on just a minute. Seems the Redskins drama has suddenly taken a back seat to the media drama. As mentioned, Tony Kornheiser repeatedly ridiculed Mike Wise on his radio show Monday morning without deigning to mention his name. For example, he said a certain local columnist...

Twenty years ago this month, the Berlin Wall came down. Now, you might argue that the end of a three-week ban on signs at FedEx Field isn't quite as important an event. And you might be technically right about that. Still, the taste of freedom is sweet indeed, whether mixed with...

This has been a spotty week, what with the sick child and all, so there were a lot of things I was supposed to mention and never did. The solution I've come up with is to throw as many things as possible into one giant post, and then go speak to the non-profit where I used to work...

When I was watching Tuesday's loss to the Heat, I was thinking that it felt very much like the pre-Arenas era to me. It just felt more like the weirdly bad old days--when everything always went wrong, everyone always got hurt, the results were laughably awful and 9-20 was an annual...

I was standing on the concourse, about as far away from Sunday's sideline melee as possible, and my initial reaction was one of embarrassment. I mean, if you're going to lose badly, at least do it with class, right? That feeling only grew when I watched DeAngelo Hall's...

Curious what a healthy Gilbert Arenas does for local interest in the Wizards? The early indications are it helps. A lot. The crowd at Wednesday night's Heat game was definitely on the late-arriving, small and quiet side, which had me once again cursing about D.C. sports. But the...
