Washington Sports Scene: Ugh

So Arenas loses another game for Wiz in his normal style: he leaves his man wide open for critical shot and he misses his own critical shot. I'm sure he's injured, but (1) why is he playing? and (2) he does this when he's healthy too. He surely is the dead albatross for this team, and when they re-sign him they condemn themselves to mediocrity for years, at least until he demands a trade.

The Nationals are so player-starved that they are giving baseball in their new, ugly stadium a bad name.

And the Redskins are managed, in terms of people and system, in a way that makes every other team delighted to laugh at. Three receivers for top three draft choices, when they had one spot to fill? It's a farce.

I blame the Administration. It has cast a pall of irrationality across the whole city.

My mom lives there. I'm afraid to call her. She's a Wizard's fanatic & she loves Gilbert.

Why is this self-indulgent crap even published? Who, outside the Beltway, gives a damn? Why do we have to read this drivel, as opposed to equal drivel about the Houston Texans or the Minnesota Timberwolves or Kansas City Royals? You're abusing your posting privileges.

Go take your Beltway sports angst to someplace where they care about it.

First in war, first in peace, and last in . . . any league you name.

DC United finally won. So, it looks like last year's Supporters' Shield winners might be back on track after a rough start (including losing out in the Concacaf Champions Cup semis).
