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 contest to [...]
There are very few people born after 1975 with ties to the DMV that don’t have an emotional reaction to the name Len Bias. To many, he was the representation of what Maryland basketball could be at it’s best; a homegrown talent with ability harnessed from the outer regions of athletic imagination.
But to kids growing [...]
Even though I can in last place in the ’sports’ category, I attended the Mobbie awards last night in the hopes that I would make some new friends, and get free drinks.
Mission 1 – Accomplished. Mission 2- Not at all.
I got to meet several of the men behind the great blogs that I read on [...]

A group of investors is grinding hard to bring an Indy Car race to Baltimore. I for one could not be more thrilled.
Forget the fact that it can bring Preakness-like revenue into the city, it’s racing cars in the streets of Baltimore. I have never watched an entire car race on television, and have never [...]
It’s on you, Northern Virginia, to make this thing right with D.C. area sports. You need to be the glue that holds this thing together. For too long, your importance to the culture of Washington-area sports has been neglected, and now, in the darkest hours for Diamond City athletics, you must rise up as one [...]
Ever notice how John Thompson is an expert on common sense and not so much sports? And while common sense is a rare and precious commodity, does it make for the stuff that makes great radio hosts? Particularly in sports radio?
Don’t get me wrong, I know how much of a community institution Coach Thompson is [...]
