Congrats, Capitals Fans: You Are Now My Least Favorite in All of Sports
Posted: 5th October 2009 by Josh McCain in NHL
I confess I'm a Washington Capitals fan, and I have been for quite some time.
I could spout off my credentials by talking about some of my favorite Caps from the past, but let's face it, in this day of Google searching anyone can make that claim. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Lately, though, there has been an influx of people wearing Caps jerseys in D.C. This ...
In case you missed the game or the highlights of yesterday's predictable 48-24 loss to the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a game ending injury after being sacked by Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye.
Stafford, who isn't really known for being mobile, proved last week against the Washington Redskins that when the pocket is collapsing around him he knows how to get out of Dodge.
This was the case ...
Man oh man, loyal reader, do I love October baseball.á Starting this week, the Division League Series begins.á However, before that can take place, the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins have to play a one-game play in for the American League Central title and the right to travel to New York to play the Yankees.
Both teams made it perfectly clear that they weren't ready to go home for the winter ...
The NFL’s Heart Is in the Right Place, But the Head Just Wasn’t Thinking

This weekend the National Football League did a commendable thing by raising awareness for breast cancer.á To create this awareness, the NFL had Reebok and other sponsors create pink apparel for the players and coaches. á
I donÆt want to be the one to knock the NFL for this admirable effort, but IÆve got to think that all the money spent to create these gloves, shoes, wrist bands, hats, and ...
Good Sunday afternoon, loyal reader.á Normally I like to wait until Tuesday to post my NFL Bonehead of the Week award.á However, after watching probably the poorest coaching performance of my 26 years on this earth I feel that this week's winner won't be outdone.
That is right, the bonehead this week is Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn.
Last week, at home, he couldn't punch it in on 4th-and-goal, so what ...
Dallas Cowboys tackle Flozell Adams was fined for the second week in a row after tripping New York "Football" Giants Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora during Sunday's loss in Dallas.
Adams was fined $12,500 for both incidents, which I find a little soft.
He was fined $5,000 for unnecessary roughness in Tampa during Week One. And then Adams trips two Giants defenders the next week, which led to Tuck's shoulder injury—and don't ...
Happy Tuesday Morning Loyal Reader! I'm back with another F-...I mean Bone Heads of the week award.
You might be wondering about the name change. Well because I'm long winded I'll be glad to tell you.
It turns out that my dear old mother is a reader of Bleacher Report (who knew). Also she didn't quite care for the name "F-Tard", so to make my sweet mother happy this article will ...
In last night's Sunday Night Game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, like every other game that comes down to a field goal, Wade Phillips waited until the last possible second to use a time out in order to freeze Giant's kicker Lawrence Tynes.
Now I'm not against freezing the kicker, even though I don't really think it works, but what I am against is waiting until ...
The D.C. Area’s Most Popular Athlete: Here’s a Hint, He Isn’t a Redskin
Posted: 16th September 2009 by Josh McCain in NHL
Hello there. loyal readers. Hopefully your Wednesday has been more exciting than mine, but that's okay, because my boring day gave me time to come up with a new article just for you.
Lately, here in our nation's capital, there has been a debate going round about "who is the more popular athlete in D.C?"
Frankly, it’s a good one. Over the past 30 years or so, this could also be called "who ...
