Beaver Stadium reseating fuels mixed feelings – CDT
This big story about Penn State’s Seat Transfer and Equity Plan ran last Sunday. We all know that this is a big money grab, but it may be somewhat necessary , but I know two long-term season ticketholders who are giving up their seats after this season. Those [...]
Congratulations go out to my friend Cathy Taylor (aka MissChatter) on her new gig with Comcast SportsNet Washington.
As you may have heard, Comcast SportsNet has vowed to expand their local sports coverage in their respective markets. Now they are expanding their local Nationals coverage even more. I’m joining Mark Zuckerman providing content (stories/photographs) for the [...]
Not a bad way to go out.
Tonight in Secaucus, N.J. the Washington Wizards won the 2010 NBA Draft Lottery ensuring the #1 overall pick. Representing the Wiz was outgoing owner Irene Pollin, wife of late owner Abe Pollin. Her reaction was fantastic and instantly made her a folk hero in D.C. if not basketball circles [...]
Rob Dibble is easily the worst baseball analyst I have ever experienced. His talking over play-by-play announcer Bob Carpenter, grunting during big moments and meathead homerism (for a team that he never played for in a city he has no natural connection to) is so terrible that I watch games on mute most of the [...]
Big shakeup for ketchup – NY Post
A new Heinz recipe? I’m not sure about this since Heinz ketchup is just about perfect as is though I’m told the “organic” (sweetened with sugar, not corn syrup) is even better. I’m almost afraid to try that because if it is appreciably better, it will ruin regular Heinz [...]
Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Bog has asked some of us the 5 most popular athletes in DC. It is kind of hard right now, because well:
Clinton Portis is a cancer. Gilbert Arenas is a criminal. Mike Green is a playoff bust. Ryan Zimmerman is a vanilla pancake. Chris Cooley missed half of last season. [...]
The Washington Nationals have hit their first rough patch of the 2009 season. Their six game road trip along the I-70 corridor started well with a 11-6 win over the Colorado Rockies, but has been downhill since. The have lost 4 in a row, the first 3 to the Rox and now game 1 of [...]
Once again the Washington Capitals are putting a lot of faith behind one of the young guns. Alex Ovechkin of course signed to a 13 year, $124 million contract in winter 2008 and now owner Ted Leonsis and GM George McPhee has assured that his linemate, C Nicklas Backstrom is going to be there for [...]
Yes, it is old, but for posterity I have to put this up even though it was last week. For the record, I thought Alex Rodriguez responded well (“Good for him. He threw a perfect game, and even better, he beat the Rays.”) to being told Dallas Braden threw a perfect game. Better than say, [...]
The Nats-FAIL meme was a tired one because even when it wasn’t the team’s fault, they took the heat for it. That is what happens after back to back 100 loss seasons like the Washington Nationals did.
Now, things are better and even under-the-radar superstar Ryan Zimmerman has some exposure. Take this commercial for GEICO:
Even though [...]
