Oh Yeah, We Podcastin': The DC Sports "Pulsecast" 2008-07-21 12:22:41 What devilish fiend would give us our own radio show? The internet that's who. The very first in what hopes to be a long line of "pulsecasts" on The DC Sports
Pulse. Topics include Redskins Training Camp and Wizards Summer League.
Jason Taylor is Dancing with the Redskins 2008-07-21 00:01:22 The Redskins
capped off an unusually quite off season last night by trading for star Miami defensive end JasonTaylor
. That's right the player who the Tuna ragged on for caring more about dancing than football is now a Washington Redskin. The trade came after projected starter Phillip Daniels and young prospect Alex Buzbee suffered season ending injuries on the first day of camp. In order to acq Read more:Dancing
Jerry Coleman Anecdote 2008-07-19 20:08:26 Dan Steiberg had an interesting post on the DC Sports Bog yesterday that included an interview with JerryColeman
, former WTEM beat reporter. The interview talked about his personal experiences at the station, what direction he thinks the station is going now that Snyder owns it, and what his plans were now that he had been let go by WTEM. From what I have heard Mr. Coleman was somewhat of a pol

Relief for the Dog Days 2008-07-17 13:46:50 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,What’s a sports fan to do? We have officially entered what sports pundits call the “Dog Days of Summer.”The proof is in the pudding, as last night featured no games by any of the major sports, except for summer league Wiz. You couldn’t even get soccer that mattered.On top of the absence of the games that count, Sportscenter lead with speculation and hearsay on the red c
Herb of the Week- Tossup 2008-07-17 13:44:59 herb (hurb) n. slang.Used by rapper esoteric, in the song herb. Insult synonomous with loser but can have multiple negative connotations. Pronounced "HURB" with no silent h. The term was popularized in upstate New York and spread from there.This week was a close race for herb of the week. So close in fact that I have decided to go with two. First up Mr. Tim Tebow:What a homo. Crocs on little ki
Wizards Summer League and Gils Bloggin' Again 2008-07-15 20:05:22 The month of July is really tough for me. I start sweating, blurred vision, headaches, vivid hallucinations usually involving Lebron James or Marcus Trufant (the Seahawks cornerback who took an errant Todd Collins pass to the house essentially ending last years dream season). So whats wrong with me you ask? DC Sports withdrawal, that's what. So you can imagine how excited I was to watch last Read more:Again

Titletown, the dumbing down of the American Sports Fan 2008-07-15 16:49:40 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,I need to vent a little bit.I like the majority of the United States Sports
fan, love to wake up each morning and check out what happened in the world of sports. Most of us, including myself, flip on the tube and check out Sportscenter.So this morning, like most mornings, I woke up, got some coffee and flipped on the tele, and what do I see? "TITLETOWN." Possibly the worst thin Read more:American
More Power to Ya Colt 2008-07-14 13:14:16 The Redskins have reached terms with their 6th round draft choice Colt Brennan. Colt was a stand out at Hawaii last year throwing for 4,343 yards and 38 touchdowns and garnering some Heisman buzz before he got injured. With the release of former Terp quarterback Sam Hollenbach last week, and the fact that Colt Brennan jerseys are already being sold on the Redskins website, Colt appears to be the
Gil's New Shoe 2008-07-14 11:28:48 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,We've come along way since the days of short shorts and Chuck Taylors. As such, it came as no surprise to me that something like the Adidas Gil II Zero x Slam, would eventually come in to existence.This could possibly be the most eleborate shoe I have ever seen. Lets start with the concept, according to "Slam" magazine, they were approached by the Arenas camp last summer, righ Read more:Shoe
Seein' Double: Trembley is Shatner 2008-07-13 16:46:30 So yesterday as I am watching the Orioles get absolutely blasted by the Red Sox, they lost the game 12-1, I couldn't help but notice a striking similarity between O's skipper Dave Trembley and "The Priceline Negotiator" William Shatner. I have never heard this comparison made before and would really like to know what the rest of you think. Was I just trying to find amusement in an otherwise unfu
Favre a Redskin? 2008-07-12 18:15:28 In the last few days a slight buzz has been building around the blogosphere that the Redskins might be interested in signing Brett Favre
if he came back and was released from the Packers. The blog hogshaven.com, quoting some guy named LazerWager, had this to say on July 7th:The only reason I mention this Brett Favre to Redskins nonsense is because it is now the 2nd time I've heard it, though don'
Wizards Dip Toe in the Free Agent Waters 2008-07-11 14:34:49 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,Something isn't sitting just right. I'm a little perturbed with the current state of the NBA's Eastern Conference, and the Wizards
slugish methods in free agency.Don't look now, but the Raptors got better, the Sixers got a hell of a lot better even Milwaukee got a little bit better. So what have the Wizards done to improve on last years squad?Step one was the resigning of an Read more:Agent

Can Someone throw Guthrie a Freakin Bone? 2008-07-11 11:01:21 The O's continued their slide back to mediocrity yesterday as the Toronto Blue Jays stole the final game of the series to complete the sweep. The Blue Jays won 6-5 in a game that appeared to be well in hand. Jeremy Guthrie
once again had a solid start allowing just one earned run through seven innings but relievers Johnson and Sherrill quickly blew the lead. Guthrie, the Orioles most consistent
Week in Review 2008-08-25 10:13:14 Beijing Ends: The Olympics wrapped up yesterday giving us one of the more compelling games in recent memory. Here are a few of the Beasts and Herbs from the 2008 Summer Olympics:
Beasts:
Michael Phelps- Men’s Swimming- 8 gold medals and 7 world records.
US Hoops- “Redeem” themselves after defeating Spain 118-107 to win the gold.
Usain [...]
Cabrera is Teh Suck 2008-08-24 18:31:20 Sitting atop the pitching mound at 6′ 9″ and 251lbs. Daniel Cabrera
is an imposing figure. If you were to casually watch him throw in practice you would think he was a monster. Then he steps onto the field against the Yankees and quickly reminds me why the Orioles are 7 games under [...]
Holy Calamity: Redskins Dominated by Panthers 47-3 2008-08-23 23:16:33 What a mess. The game was encompassed by negative energy from the start as both Channel 9 and Comcast Sports Net had technical difficulties with their production of The Redskins
broadcast. To mask these difficulties they decided to inundate Redskin fans with 15 minutes of straight commercials. After a while, I too [...] Read more:Dominated

Herb of the Week: Darvis Patton 2008-08-22 16:21:11 herb (hurb) n. slang.
Used by rapper esoteric, in the song herb. Insult synonymous with loser but can have multiple negative connotations. Pronounced “HURB” with no silent h. The term was popularized in upstate New York and spread from there.
Coming into the final baton exchange of the Men’s 4 x 100m relay yesterday, Darvis Patton appeared [...]
Slightly Redeemed 2008-08-22 14:05:12 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,
The USA finally exercised it’s Olympic demons with a hard fought 101-81 victory over Argentina in the semi-finals of Olympic play. The Redeem team got one step close to redeeming themselves by playing as a unit, with seven different players scoring in double figures.
Team US jumped out to an early 30-11 lead, and just when [...]

No More ‘Fro?! 2008-08-19 16:19:26 Maryland Head Football Coach Ralph Friedgen made a seemingly unpopular decision today to start Jordan Steffy at quarterback over Chris Turner. Steffy was the opening day starter last season but was injured midway through the year. Chris Turner took over and looked spectacular at times, but his inconsistency in both games and practice [...]
The Power of the Beard? 2008-08-19 12:19:19 Dr. Gonzo,
It’s no secret that athletes love beard growing contests. Who can forget DeShawn Stevenson vs. Drew Gooden, or Chris Cooley vs. his blogging public? D-Steve and Cooley have since taken the clippers to their respective beards, with D-Steve’s ending in success and Cooley not being as lucky.
Don’t forget deep play offruns, it seems like every year we see teams
Colt to Bolt: Future Westcoast Connection? 2008-08-18 21:34:25 I would like to preface this post by saying that I am well aware of how absurd this sounds. I guess I’m just trying to milk this Colt Brennan thing for all its worth.
For those of you that don’t already know, Colt Brennan is slowly becoming a Redskins fan favorite. Didn’t think third [...] Read more:Future
The DC Sports Pulse Week in Review 2008-08-18 12:15:40 Monday’s are lame. Whatever your occupation Monday usually signifies the start of you actually being productive again. To offset this lameness I have decided to add another weekly section to the DC SportsPulse

Cry Me a River Portis or Herb of the Week: CP 2008-09-12 14:16:28 Clinton Portis had some interesting comments in The Washington Post today. In an article published by Barry Svrluga, Clinton said he wished he could switch places with a team that had a better line or a better scheme. He wonders how other running backs would fare if they came to Washington and played [...] Read more:River

Throw out everything we thought we knew. It was all a lie…..
NFL experts, shut your mouths! Really who can you trust anymore, parody is making so called NFL expert’s picks sound like the ones your girlfriend makes. Things like who has prettier colors seem to hold more weight then what these hacks say. To [...]
