It’s been fun – the friends and associates made through blogging Baltimore-Washington sports have been incredible to say the least. But Diamond City is the true mecca of sports blogging – and I find that more and more, I am not the best disciple to deliver its timeless story of struggle and hope.
It would be [...]

Courtesy of Mr. Irrelevant, it’s homegrown hip-hop star Wale performing at halftime of the Redskins-Cowboys game.
Unfortunately, this would be the most solid performance out of D.C. on the night.

Troy Smith wants to be traded from Baltimore. Not the least bit surprising for a former Heisman Trophy winner who has held his own in relief duty from the Ravens.
What is weird is that his agent let the world know via Twitter, which I guess is the new press release.
“Ravens QB Troy Smith, Ohio State [...]

Part of the reason that Daniel Snyder continues to bring in coach after coach, free agent after free agent, and losing season after losing season is because its profitable for him. For as much as thousands of fans lament the sad state of the franchise, and its inability to find continuity beyond its annual coronation [...]

The good news for the Maryland Terrapins is that they defeated Florida Atlantic going away to raise their record to 8-3 and distance themselves against winter mid-major meltdowns of the past.
The bad news, they got out-rebounded by a much smaller team.
The good news is that Cliff Tucker contributed 11 points in the win and looked [...]

It’s one thing for network commentators to openly display man crushes for Ben Roethlisberger. It’s another when they continue to refer to him during the game by his moniker.
For all the things Dick Enberg and Dan Fouts did well in their CBS telecast of Sunday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, I can’t [...]

Just don’t. They get a big win, they follow it up with one of the worst losses you could ever imagine watching. They have enough characters in which you could emotionally invest, but short of a 12-game winning streak, there are few redeemable qualities in this team that could hold your attention, let alone your [...]

What exactly has the Baltimore Ravens infatuated with penalties? Is it that they absolutely have to protect the brand of defense they’ve built over the year? Are they not able to be fast and furious without a late hit out of bounds?
Are they so unsure of their blocking technique that they have to hold or [...]

Maybe Albert Haynesworth hates Greg Blache, and maybe he’s exactly right to require a better system by which the Redskins can wreak havoc. And yes; maybe $100 million dollars should buy him a little more input on how to improve a system that is pretty darn good.
But even if the Redskins’ defensive scheme was the [...]

Struggling knee patient. Eccentric millionaire. Alleged cuckolded fiancee’ and father.

Is it his right as an American to do so? Absolutely. But anyone whose lived the life of Gilbert Arenas – particularly the last three years – should be self-aware about what they might be prone to do with firearms at their disposal.
