The Opera is Over!

The Fat Lady will not sing for the Washington Wizards in their series against the Miami Heat. The 'Zards are the only team in the second round who have not won a game. And last night the Heat beat them at MCI without Shaq. The story around here is whether or not coach Eddie Jordan should let Kwame... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Stein loses again!

So Giacomo(forgive me if I spell it wrong) comes from the back of the pack to win the Kentucky Derby at 50-1 odds. And George Steinbrenner's very own Bellamy Road fails to even place. Kind of reminds me of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble betting all of their money on Sabertooth in order to buy... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fat Lady Sings!

Yes, my friends, for the first time since 1982, the Washington Wizards/Bullets have won an NBA playoff series. The 'Zards beat the Bulls 94-91 last night to wrap up the best of seven series 4-2 and move on to face Shaq Fu and the Miami Heat. It is the first seven game series that the 'Zards have won...

The Dream Continues

The NBA playoffs visited the city of Washington D.C. for the first time as the Washington Wizards got their first post season victory since 1988 with a 117-99 romp over the Chicago Bulls. The 'Zards had been to the playoffs before under the name of Bullets(which I wish they still were), but then... Sign in to see full entry.

Who said this?

Guess who said this: Two guys are standing around when David Wells walks by the day after he pitched his perfect game for the Yankees. One guy says to the other "That's David Wells,". "Who's David Wells?" asks the other. "A pitcher for the New York Yankees," says the first. "He pitched a perfect... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This Really Happening?

No Gary Scheffield vs. the fan in this blog. Too many good things happening around here. First, the Washington Wizards defeated the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night and then watched as the New Jersey Nets lost to Indiania. This combination put the 'Zards in the playoffs for the first time since 1997... Sign in to see full entry.

Tiger, Tiger Woods, Y'all

I'm not a golf fan. I'm a Tiger Woods fan. And it seems as though my man is back. No more distractions, no more wedding planning, no more bad back. Tiger seems to have found his game again. That putt on 16 yesterday was just unbelievable. A hacker like you and I would still be standing there trying... Sign in to see full entry.

If A Team Plays A Game...

and it's not on TV or radio, then did they really play it? That's what Washington Nationals fans have to be asking after having no TV coverage for the second and third games of their opening series in Philadelphia and no radio coverage that I know of for the finale. Because of this, we missed the... Sign in to see full entry.

After 34 Years...

Washingto returns to major league baseball. Baseball doesn't officially return to Washington until April 14th, because the schedule was made out before the team moved. Not only that, but the Nationals will have an opening night instead of an opening day. This is the only story that I care about in... Sign in to see full entry.

Johnny Cochrane is Dead!

O.J. Simpson's favorite lead blocker, Johnny Cochrane, is dead of a brain tumor at 67. The man who saved The Juice's behind from being "tailback at San Quentin," is no longer with us. Now all we have left is O.J. on the golf course in Dingo boots looking for the "real killers" and trying to save his... Sign in to see full entry.
