Legend of Earl Badu Grows Continues With Terrapin Walk-Ons

You’d be hard pressed to find a walk-on that isn’t the student section hero of any college basketball program, but the Maryland Terrapins make a special point of cultivating off-the-street talent. And filtering it into significant roles off the bench. As we’ve discussed...

You Don’t Know a Life ‘Without Bias’

There are very few people born after 1975 with ties to the DMV that don’t have an emotional reaction to the name Len Bias. To many, he was the representation of what Maryland basketball could be at it’s best; a homegrown talent with ability harnessed from the outer regions...

Mike Miller Thugs It Out

Mikemiller
Yeah, Wizards guard Mike Miller might have worsened his shoulder injury unnecessarily in last night’s loss to the Miami Heat, but isn’t that what macho, tough athletes do? Not in this city they don’t. Which is why it was refreshing to see that a newly-acquired Miller...

A Broncos Fan in Need of a Good Tasering

So he’s got his camera angles and everything, and he’s planning to sue the Ravens for tossing him out of the stadium for standing in front of his seat. Unfortunately, incessantly blocking the vision of others falls under the “Don’t Be a Jerk” league-wide...

Redskins Fans and the Golden Age of Frustration

How ironic is it that the capital of our great nation, the brick and mortar embodiment of “Of the People, By the People and For the People,” is just just now permeating the myopic brains of Redskins fans fed up with Daniel Snyder? It escapes me that it has taken this much...

Terrapin Basketball Must Play Far and Away

There is optimism in College Park for the 2009-10 installment of Maryland Terrapins basketball. Where the promise of improvement fell flat on the gridiron, the basketball team has a legitimate chance of restoring fans’ faith in their ability to be among the 20 best teams in...

Yes, LeBron: The Wizards Are Your Rivals

I can completely understand what LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to preserve by downplaying the team’s rivalry with the Washington Wizards. Usually in a rivalry, it’s two good teams that meet regularly for the rights to something larger. Pittsburgh counts...

A.J. Francis Fires Back at the Diamondback Newspaper

I have to say, this is the first instance I’ve come across where a collegiate athlete is taking it to his campus newspaper via Twitter. I am so glad that athletes on my campus were too busy trying to bag chicks on BlackPlanet instead of airing me out on social network platforms...

Washington Redskins: The Coaching Job No One Should Want

It may not be Mike Holmgren, but eventually, someone is going to take a lot of money to be the head coach of the Washington Redskins, and if the pile of cash is sitting on top of a contract reading “I won’t interfere” signed by Daniel Snyder, it would be wise for...

Can Injury to Alex Ovechkin Make the Capitals Stronger?

The Washington Capitals don’t have a problem with talent, or coaching or ownership. They don’t want for adoration from fans or respect throughout the NHL. But resolve has always been the weakest part of their team make up; the ability to win with expectation and to play...

Gilbert Arenas Breaks Up to Make Up

First he loved the attention. Now he hates it. For those media fools who have tried to make Gilbert Arenas out to be more than a funny valentine for quotes and sound bytes, the best advice is to love him and leave him alone. We all embraced the hot shooting, wildly honest point guard...

Some Terrapins Giving Up on Season?

Courtesy of the Testudo Times, let us question the resilience of some Maryland football players. Friedgen has made it clear that he still wants to win games this season. Some of his players came to him the other day, relaying the news that some of their teammates had been saying they...

Goodbye Melvin Mora

Mlb_may_30_4af3
In a way, it’s like watching the dude you went to high school with that always had something smart to say walk across the stage at graduation. You spent most of your time convincing yourself not to punch him in the mouth, but you remember the times where he actually said something...

Cleveland Challenging Washington for Most Miserable NFL Fan Base

They may not be under the same rules of censorship as Washington Redskins fans, but Cleveland Browns faithful are just as fed up with their team’s losing ways. And they too are poised to boycott in large numbers. Sickened by the nearly constant losing since the NFL team’...

Maryland Misses the Top 25 Poll

The ESPN/USA Today preseason top 25 would have you believe that four teams in the ACC are better than the Terrapins. North Carolina, yes. Duke, possibly. Clemson and Georgia Tech? No way in the world. Believe it or not, nobody is returning as much experience or talent as the Terrapins...

More Time for Lardarius Webb?

Not that we know that Lardarius Webb is overwhelmingly better than any of the other Ravens corner backs, but we have witnessed how bad they can be. At least he has a sense of mystery about him. He’s been pretty good on special teams, and coaches up and down the Ravens sideline...

The Education of Nick Young

42
There will come a time where the bright smile must be replaced with a scowl, when the carefree, Californian perspective will submit to championship coldness, and the reality of being a professional will truly set in. That time is now for Nick Young, who caught a DNP in the Wizards...

Nationals Order to Pay $40K to Fired Dominican Scout

So the guy that brought in Esmailyn “Smiley” Gonzalez was unjustifiably fired? A Dominican Republic tribunal has ordered the Washington Nationals to pay US$40,000 in damages to a scout who was fired after signing a prospect who lied about his age. Jose Baez, the Nationals...

Faith of the Salukis – So. Illinois Sports Writer Picks Wizards to Win the East

Salukis, consider me an honorary alumnus of your great institution. Call me crazy, but I am seeing a coup in the east. It would be very easy to pick the defending conference champs, the Cleveland Lebrons or the Boston Celtics…but I’m going to choose the Washington Wizards. I think...

Redskins Fan Censorship Goes ‘Around the Horn’

Tampa_bay_buccaneers_6e15
Courtesy of the DC Sports Bog, here’s a national perspective on local lunacy; Daniel Snyder’s censorship of fan signage at Fed Ex Field. I have to admit, given their propensity for candor and honesty, I’m really surprised that Chris Cooley, Clinton Portis or DeAngelo...

Former Redskins Going Live, Going In

A lot of people wonder what makes the Washington Redskins one of the worst franchises in professional sports. Surprisingly, the biggest reason isn’t fan censorship or poor management; It’s the fact that iconic former Redskins are all too willing to drag the team through...

Ravens Were Interested in Interviewing Josh McDaniels

We knew that Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had a vision of getting a young head coach two years ago, but who would’ve thought that fresh-faced, then-New England Patriots-coordinator Josh McDaniels was high up on the list? He didn’t interview for the gig, and gave the PC...
