Larry Johnson to the Redskins? Hopefully Not

Even with the Washington Redskins’ paltry two wins, the world’s worst owner and a heated fanbase, no one in the equation deserves Larry Johnson. Primarily because he’s as addicted to trouble as he is falling down after three yards on a carry, but moreso because the...

The song is actually pretty cool. It’s just too bad that Chris Paul won’t use his talents to diss Daniel Snyder on wax.

The Washington Wizards have yet to figure out how to avoid injury, but if they ever do, they will be one step closer to their next mission:
Learning how to win.
A losing streak this early in the season is certainly not worthy of home crowd booing, but what can you expect from Redskins...

Give credit to the Washington Redskins for one thing that they do right; no team is better at modeling the attitudes of their owner and fan base.
We knew that the Redskins would lose on the road to the Atlanta Falcons and they didn’t disappoint. What we didn’t know was...
Ravens Running Out of Reasons

It was one thing when the Baltimore Ravens could blame swoons in the regular season schedule on convenient, unforeseen mishaps. A terrible quarterback here, a too-conservative coach there, injuries everywhere. Those were the calling cards that always dialed up patience from Ravens...

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

Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
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...

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

Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
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
November 03, 2009 by

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...

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
November 03, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
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?
November 02, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

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...

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
October 29, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
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...

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...

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.
