Seems like its turning out this way every year for Samari Rolle. This year, he will miss the first six games of the season with a neck injury requiring surgery.
Prior to that, it was a bout with a disease diagnosed as epilepsy, several weeks after it caused him to miss games with...
The Case for Colt Brennan
August 31, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
If there’s one reason why Washington coaches, fans and most NFL enthusiasts should root for Colt Brennan to keep his spot with the team, it lies in a characteristic that Brennan possesses that no other quarterback on the roster could ever hope to find.
The confidence that he...

Courtesy of the Roar from 34, we find some startling yet not-surprising details about Joe Biden’s first pitch at Camden Yards this year, and the security breaches involved.
The day U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden threw out the Opening Day first pitch at Baltimore’s Camden...
Marcus Mason vs. Rock Cartwright
August 31, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

If there is one preseason battle that deserves a lot more attention out of Washington, it is the quiet competition between Marcus Mason and Rock Cartwright for the third-string tailback position.
Much has been made about Marcus Mason’s lack of special teams expertise, but no...
Greg Blache is a Maniac

Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Not that Trevor Matich is my boy or anything, but his simple question really didn’t deserve Greg Blache melting down on him like this.
Yeah, Blache is tired of being asked about the Washington pass rush. Sad part is, much of Washington is tired of the lack thereof.
Old school...

And now, for a happier time in the Washington-Dallas Cowboys rivalry, we go to a classic moment with the Fun Bunch.
I’ll give this to Art Monk and the Crew, they taunted just as well as they played.

What Ravens Fans Shouldn’t Do
August 28, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Do I like the Washington football team? Absolutely not. Do I love the Ravens? With all of my heart.
But I don’t endorse this. Not one bit.
I assume this video was taken at Fed Ex Field in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which Washington won in convincing fashion. The...
Teammates Cooling on Jason Campbell?
August 28, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Jason Campbell’s teammates are treading a very thin line between blatantly distancing themselves from the quarterback, or extremely lacking savvy when it comes to media questions about the quarterback.
Take today’s Washington Post article about Campbell ignoring the critics...
Brian Mitchell’s Comeuppance
August 27, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
The way Brian Mitchell carries on like he’s the King of All Things Tough, you would naturally assume that his mouth and his lack of size have cost him at several points in his life.
Courtesy of Mister Irrelevant and the National Football Post, I present to you one of those moments...
Why Should The Orioles Care About Baserunning?
August 27, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
The managers and coaches can say what they want, it’s not a lack of concentration that’s causing the Baltimore Orioles to amass a reel’s worth of baserunning follies, it’s a lack of care.
The Orioles are in last place in the A.L. East. September is right around...
Welcome Back, Kevin Durant?

One of the great things about the Twitter generation of media is the last members staying afloat in mainstream media get to pop off on random rumors and innuendo. None more gratifying than this ominous Tweet from @danshanoff:
What I learned from Barry Farms: Kevin Durant bolting OKC...

Thoughts on the Maryland Terrapins’ 2009-10 Basketball Schedule
August 25, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Here’s the 2009-10 Maryland Terrapins’ basketball schedule, with home games in bold. Not too shabby, and if they perform to expectations, should be a ticket to a tenth seed or better in the tournament.
Tue, Nov. 3 vs. Indiana (Pa.) (exhibition) 8 p.m.
Fri, Nov. 13 vs....
Ravens Second String Hangs by a Thread

Stet Sports Blog

How much changed for the Baltimore Ravens between their first game against Washington and their second game against the New York Jets?
About the entire heart and soul of the second string offense and defense.
Oh, the first team on both sides of the ball looked great. Save for doses...
Michael Beasley Checks Into Rehab

When talent, too much time and too many expectations all fold in on you, something’s gotta give. Fortunately for DMV representer Michael Beasley, he sought help before pics like this one turned into arrests. Or worse.

Rex Ryan Has Something To Prove Against the Ravens
August 24, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
So I’m reading this article in the Baltimore Sun about the Ravens excitedly switching to a 4-3 base defense this year. Ray Lewis loves it, and it’s a return to the form that helped the squad win a Super Bowl in 2000.
But leave it up to the hometown paper to bury what should...
Shaq vs. Michael Phelps: The Mohawk Emerges Victorious
August 24, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

Of course we won’t find out the results of Shaq vs. Michael Phelps until September, but you have every right to preview Shaq’s mohawk.
Not overly impressive; looks to be the remnants of a once respectable Caesar. Nevertheless, Shaq will be booed mercilessly in visits to...

Now that he’s caught a touchdown pass and celebrated in deep-fried fashion, Fred Davis has everyone across the DMV trying to do the Stanky Leg.
At least, everyone across the DMV who isn’t cool enough to know that the dance roared in and limped out of style months ago.

Covering For Jason Campbell
August 24, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

Throughout this summer, much of this space has been dedicated to sticking up for Jason Campbell. When ownership and fans turned their backs on him for the availability of an unhappy Jay Cutler and the national fancy for Mark Sanchez, it was all I could do to remind people that Campbell...
Ravens Rookie Tony Fein Arrested; There Will Be No Beer Summits
August 23, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

To make a long story short, Baltimore’s finest assumed Ravens rookie Tony Fein and his friends were passing around a gun while at dinner in the Inner Harbor. They investigate, find nothing.
At that point, they could’ve apologized for the tragic misunderstanding. But as...
Why It’s So Easy to Hate Washington Pro Football
August 23, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
They have an owner who prefers jersey sales over playoff appearances, a reprehensible team nickname, and have one of the more delusional fan bases in the entire NFL. It’s so easy to hate everything about pro football in Washington, and it could never be more evident than in this...
Roethlisberger Injury Means Christmas in RavensTown
August 21, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog
| Comments
Truth be told, if Ben Roethlisberger played for any other team than the Pittsburgh Steelers, I’d probably like him a lot. He plays hard, keeps his public douchebaggery to a tolerable minimum, and wins.
On the other hand, it’s his propensity to spin out of tackles that...
Maryland Gridiron Network Gets On Board for Terp Travel Arrangements
August 20, 2009 by
Stet Sports Blog

Well, I took the Maryland fans to task for allowing the football and basketball teams to fall back on travel arrangements, and they responded. Likely not to me, but in general.
Maryland football supporters have raised about $46,000 so the Terps can fly round trip to games at Wake Forest...

Maryland Terrapins basketball reeled in a big one today, receiving a commitment from four-star recruit Mychal Parker.
He’s got good size and good athleticism, which already puts him ahead of 98 percent of the Duke Blue Devils roster. Looks like Gary Williams didn’t take...
