Earl Boykins man is listed at 5-foot-5, 139. His max bench press is 315 pounds. This makes him the Wizards' strongest pound-for-pound player. And a lot of people, I told him, are surprised by that number. "I think they should be," he said. "I think they should be...

You won't see a better night by a so-called role player in D.C. sports this year. It's just impossible. Let's recap. First, with his team down, 1-0, Bradley starts punching Rangers tough guy Aaron Voros in the head. And vice versa, obviously.

Chatting at 11:30. Submit questions here. Part of my job seems to be listening to various radio appearances by various members of the D.C. sports establishment. Some of them are fine. Some of them are great. And some of them are terrible. The Redskins' Executive Vice President...
