I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the [...]
Games 4 & 5
My goodness this is fun. After five weeks, the Redskins are 4-1, have beaten the Cowboys and the Eagles on the road, and are ranked third on ESPN’s Power Poll. Not third in the NFC East, not third in the NFC - but THIRD. The Redskins to my knowledge [...]
Lola’s is quite possibly my new favorite sports bar. For being a brand new bar, it has a great deal of personality - it feels like it has been there for years. The walls are covered with nicely framed historic photographs of DC and there is a Washington Redskins 50th Anniversary mirror (which [...]
As has been discussed here previously, my plans tend to be a bit more grand than my ability or time allows. I had intended to discuss my thoughts about the Redskins’ performance after every game, but after the Saints/Redskins game, instead of discussing the team’s performance, Jason Campbell’s remarkable progress, the Santana Moss touchdown or [...]
I’ve mentioned to a few people along the way that DCLance.com was the place to get the Jack Kent Cooke “Rolling in His Grave Since 1999″ t-shirt, but I realized I didn’t have a link to the site where you could actually purchase the shirts. Here’s the link to the DCLance Spreadshirt Shop. You can [...]
The actual partitioning of the parking lot at FedEx Field, as per the map found on their website and the map found on the actual parking passes, is wrong. Clearly according to the map below (which is cropped from the actual parking lot .pdf found on Redskins.com) in the F section of the parking [...]
As I was busy watching the unorganized pile of shit team he abandoned, Joe Gibbs was delivering a speech to the crumb bums at the Republican National Convention. I had no clue that he was scheduled to address these dolts and was in disbelief when a coworker told me of his appearance. I found the [...]
Washington Redskins a Lucky 7, New York Giants 16
The Redskins’ preseason offensive woes continued into opening night of the regular season, though I guess calling them ‘woes’ might be a bit generous. They were AWFUL last night. As I was standing in an overcrowded and overrated Crystal City Sports Pub, I couldn’t help but laugh [...]
If there weren’t enough about which to angry these days, Jason La Canfora and Jason Reid collaborated on a story about Vinny Cerrato for the Washington Post that pretty much made me want to pull out my few remaining hairs. Meet the Boss is a maddening piece that highlights just how out of touch Vinny and [...]
The Princenton isn’t my favorite bar; but when I decided to try and watch the Redskins’ preseason game down the shore, I thought my best chance to do so involved braving the meatheads and cougars trying to make the most of their summer vacations, and venturing down to the ironically named bar. As it was [...]
