The originator of highlights odd and exhilarating has died. George Michael, long time Washington-area sports caster and the creator of the George Michael Sports Machine passed away today at the age of 70. Technorati Tags: George Michael, Sports Machine
It’s all coming to an end for the Baltimore Ravens. The smothering defense, the happy-go-disciplined approach to the game. The youthfulness of playing football. Time and coaching acumen have all caught up to the Baltimore Ravens, and one of its best defenders sits on the sideline with a difficult decision that has just one possible [...]
Earl Boykins is something the Washington Wizards could have never expected. For better and for worse. Really, what does it say when Ernie Grunfeld has the eye to grab a diminutive journeyman point guard that can produce on a consistent basis? It says he knows what he’s doing. But what happens when that same diminutive [...]
How nice of Brendan Morrison to throw a little stank on your holiday hockey. Technorati Tags: Brendan Morrison, Washington Capitals
Note the question is “should,” not “could,” because there’s no way the Washington Wizards are going to jettison the one variable that has nothing to do with their inconsistency.

In metro areas where basketball is the sport of leisure and survival, the Crab Bowl provides a cute gridiron distraction just prior to the Christmas break. And this year, the DC area all-stars proved better than those from Charm City, as they stifled the Baltimore all-stars in a defensive showcase, 24-21. Again, it’s a nice [...]
Not that he needs that much help, because Daniel Snyder has already done such a fine job of it. But if Snyder is going to fire Jim Zorn, it will cost him much more than the remaining terms of the contract. It’s going to cost him players, fans, and likely, league-wide respectability, if there was such [...]
