At approximately 4:05 eastern today, the Washington Redskins’ 2017 season will come coasting into the station and come to a complete stop with a whoosh of hydraulics, and the metal lap bars will lift out of the way. We will be told: thank you for riding, now please exit to your left. We will be […] Read more
In the 2000 election cliffhanger between Bush and Gore, the late Tim Russert gained political TV immortality with a simple dry erase board and a single word written 3 times. Florida. Florida. Florida. Russert knew, that no matter what else was happening in all the other state returns that night, the entire election was coming […] Read more
Let me start by saying my Star Wars “nerd level” is fairly low. I am an enthusiast for the series, not a fanboy nor fanatic. So you have to take this review from the perspective of a middle-aged man who liked the originals alot, was disgusted at how awful the middle-three were (like most everybody […] Read more
Drones are expensive toys that are nothing short of the greatest gadgets of my lifetime. They are marvels of technology, that blow my mind every time I think about all of the technology they leverage to work as amazingly as they do.

I don’t think they keep stats on that, but they should. Judging by what we saw on TV, I’d say the boys played in at least 6 inches of fresh powder, if not […] Read more
It’s an early forecast, but here goes: we have all the necessary conditions for a major December Redskins shitstorm forming over Ashburn, VA. Doesn’t mean it will materialize, but the long range models are all looking rather ominous. You have the stagnant air of the Kirk Cousins Contract Standoff settling in over the coming off-season.

Everybody likes “old school” in sports. We talk about the “old school” we argue about certain players today who are “old school” and we even dress up our teams occasionally in the “old school” uniforms. Or, well… new fangled things that kinda look like the uniforms of yore. But it’s really hard to still DELIVER […] Read more
It needs to be pointed out, that the Lavar Ball phenomenon in the American sports culture is essentially less than one year old. It just feels like he’s been around forever. Even though Lonzo Ball was starting to do eye catching things at this time a year ago under Steve Alford at UCLA, only the […] Read more
