The Washington Capitals made their seemingly traditional first round exit on Monday and while that is still being discussed (remember, D.C. isn’t a hockey town at all) I’m post, for posterity, recent coverage of rink side broadcaster, Smokin’ Al Koken. Dan Steinberg has been profiling Koken, who was “present at the creation” of the Caps, [...]
On common ground, Orioles and Nationals have complicated relationship – The Sun
Oh, the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles have a complicated relationship? That’s the fault of MLB commissioner Bud Selig, Peter Angelos and his franchise. Selig coddled Angelos when he didn’t have to:
When the Nationals, after 36 seasons as the Montreal Expos, arrived in Washington [...]
First off, I overslept this morning so I didn’t get to blog about Ross Detwiler (more like BOSS DETWILER) pitching really well again and Bryce Harper going 4 for 5 while battling flu-like symptoms (DC Sports Bog, The Post) in a 6-1 win over the Miami Marlins. Good to get that curly W flag waving [...]
Another great voice has left us — Pat Summerall, who for so many years handled play-by-play for NFC football games along side John Madden on CBS and then FOX. Prior to my time, it was Tom Brookshier working with Summerall. It seemed every autumn Sunday, Summerall and Madden would be in some NFC East city [...]
When it came out that 20 Washington Nationals games would be broadcast on Ch. 9 (WUSA) instead of Ch. 50 (WDCW), I joked about how great it is that we could watch the Nats on VHF instead of UHF:
Did you hear, 20 #Nats games on VHF instead of UHF! Huge if true #tweetsfrom1969

Washington Nationals Rookie of the Year Bryce Harper went on the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night and performed better than the host. They mostly bantered about being from Las Vegas, his call-up to the majors and of course, something we’ve all moved on from, “that’s a clown question, bro.” There was disagreement amongst the D.C. [...]
MLB seeks creative solution to MASN rights fees dispute between Nationals, Orioles – The Post
After a long period of no news on the Washington Nationals television rights compensation some new information has come out:
Hoping to find a solution to the dispute between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles over the value of the Nationals’ television [...]
Reports suggest that Ted Leonsis is a hardliner in the NHL Lockout (Japers Rink) which doesn’t have a double-bottom line that Leonsis used to talk about so often. The timing isn’t very good for his Washington Capitals after years of strong ticket sales and strong television ratings last season. Leonsis has all but said that [...]
Getting B1Gger: Maryland, Rutgers to join Big Ten – Examiner.com
Look at this! I’ve come out of my Penn State blogging slumber. Sort of. More of that someday, but today the big story is that Penn State has (a) new neighbor(s) in the Big Ten Conference.
The University of Maryland has accepted an invitation to the Big [...]
Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles split over MASN cable TV rights fee – The Post
Another overview about how Peter Angelos is trying to screw the Washington Nationals and their fans over the television rights he was wrongly granted in 2005. It is a decent article, but omits that Angelos kept Nats games off of most D.C. [...]
