Spurs Snatch Mason, That Guy We Drafted Signs 2008-07-10 12:39:51 There are a couple things I really like about guard Roger Mason
. One he is a young guy with a tremendous amount of upside, good practice habits, and a great attitude. He also just happens to be from local high school Good Counsel, my dad's Alma mater. That's why I was upset to hear that the Spurs
had offered Mason a 2 year deal worth 7.3 million dollars that the Wizards were unable to match. U Read more:Snatch
Caps Sign Laich and Fedorov 2008-07-09 18:37:45 The Capitals have signed forward Brooks Laich to a three year deal worth $6.3 million. Laich had a career best in points(37), assists(16), and goals(21) and added some much needed offensive firepower to the 3rd Line. This deal makes perfect sense for the Caps. The Caps also re-signed Sergei Fedorov to a 1 year deal worth $4 million. That's a lot of money for an over the hill superstar in the t
The Veiw from the Hill 2008-07-09 11:57:43 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,How should one cover a game that had such a down home feel? That was my dilemma as I approached the entrance to the stadium at the Maryland Soccerplex. With my press pass dangling from my neck, I had access to some of the best seats in the house; right on the fifty-yard line, but I needed more. I needed to feel what it felt like to be with the fans, so I took my spot on the hil
Mr. Beckham goes to DC, Act 2 2008-07-09 11:16:48 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,For all the soccer loving readers of this blog, don’t get mad at Rooster, he means well, but he just doesn’t know. I was outraged when I looked to the left of the page and saw DC United in the loser’s category. For the diehards and those who just don’t know, DC is on a tear right now winning three straight Read more:Beckham
Herb of the Week - Freddie Bynum 2008-07-09 08:59:19 herb (hurb) n. slang. Used by rapper esoteric, in the song herb. Insult synonomous with loser but can have multiple negative connotations.

The Redeem Team 2008-06-27 11:54:57 Dr. Gonzo Reporting,Once upon a time, the US Men’s Basketball team not winning gold was unheard of. A bronze? Ha, that would be like Tiger Woods not making the cut.Sadly, that is the current state of US hoops, coming off a bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Fear not loyal patriots, early signs point to great management commitment and returning players who seem hell bent on capturing gold
Dammit People this is Golf!! 2008-06-26 23:57:10 According to an article in Yahoo News today, children participating in the Gold Crown Junior Golf Association Tournament became distracted as a group of flirtatious strippers arrived at the course.

And the Winner IS... 2008-06-21 17:35:51 18th Hole- Rocco's tee shot finds the bunker while Tiger finds the middle of the fairway. You can start to feel the magic about to happen. Could we be looking at a second overtime? Okay, so right before the biggest putt of the U.S. Open playoff, Tiger's putt for birdie, my Comcast goes out because of thunderstorms. I have been told however that Tiger made his putt and Rocco made his par putt so
Woods Wins Another 2008-06-21 17:35:18 Sudden Death began at the 7th hole of Torrey Pines today and pitted the #1 golfer in the world Tiger Woods
against the 158th best Rocco Mediate. It was trouble for Rocco from the start. His tee shot found the left bunker and Rocco was unable to recover. His second shot from the bunker went way left and snuggled up against the grandstand. Fortunately Rocco was able to drop the ball away from t
Is Zorn Ready? 2008-06-21 17:34:48 Coach Jim Zorn is quite the enigma. He has essentially been no more than a quarterback coach in professional football the last 10 years and yet here he is, head coach of the most important sports franchise in Washington, D.C. Not only that but he is replacing a legend in Joe Gibbs. So is the Z man up to the challenge of leading this Redskins team to the promised land? It would seem like an inc
Video of the Day- Deshawns Dagger!! 2008-06-21 17:34:29 The NBA season has come to a close.

Draft Daze 2008-06-21 17:33:05 Dr. Gonzo Reporting, Ah, we can finally breathe in and come out from under our chairs, big bad Lebron is gone, and we can now turn or ambition to the NBA draft. The beauty of a fresh new season is on the Horizon, and this years draft will distract us from the possibility of losing the most exciting thing in this town since the Hogs, “The Hibachi.” We all know what the Wizard’s need, strength Read more:Draft
