Luke:

No, BS and others, Ted Leonsis did not use a permanent marker or actual Sharpie™ on the whiteboard. I just used “sharpie” lowercase because I couldn’t come up with another word for magic marker and figured that would make the point without repetition. I see now, because of input from BS and others, that “sharpie” is… Read more

MWaDH:The Post hired a rock critic in 1970, Tom Zito, who after years and years on the beat eventually moved to California to work on video games and techie things. What was your papa’s name? I’d love to look up his old clips. Being a jazz critic in the 1950s looks great on paper. Read more

This is incredible. And so believable. Thanks for the report, HT. Read more

What’s that old proverb, “An eye for a pie?” A source in Sacramento sent these photos to Deadspin after the hung jury story was posted. The source, who requested anonymity, said they were part of a collection of photos taken by the Sacramento police in the hospital after Sean Thompson was pummeled by Kevin Johnson for…

EGC: It feels to me like every sports bar in the city is like six months old or less and i’m familiar with almost none of them. BUT: I watched a Caps game last week at a place called Lou’s in Columbia Heights and tho I’d never heard of it before that night it was a great place to watch games. So, I’ll go with Lou’s in… Read more

That’s a big one, BC. Kinda weird that in his hometown Nils is best known for songs that he recorded anonymously. Does anything come close to “Bullets Fever” and the Jhoon Rhee theme? I had all his early solo LPs, and wore out the live bootleg record, but, other than those two tunes I never heard him on mainstream… Read more

Great questions, ARB. The racing writers gambling issue has fascinated me forever, ever since my first day working at the racetrack and seeing a betting window in the press box. The journalism business has changed a lot as far as allowable conflicts of interests go, but back then there was no other area of journalism… Read more

I’m so into the Wizards this year because of my kids that I’m too nervous to even watch games anymore. I get too frazzled and have to walk away. I’ve never been like this with any team ever. But, to answer your question, I can’t have any good takes because I’m too afraid to pay attention. Read more

I misread and thought you were a shop teacher. Shop teachers are the coolest. Anybody can type and never learned a thing from a journalism professor. But in shop me and everybody else in 7th grade learned how not to use a wood lathe to make a club, and a drill press to make a deep hole in the club, and a smelter to… Read more

Bonus Derby Coverage! I badgered John Scheinman, who avoids favorites like he’s got a chalk allergy and has a track record for making big scores on racing’s biggest days, to make his Kentucky Derby picks public, and he played along. He says he’s going to load up tomorrow on J Boys Echo, and pair him with Practical… Read more

I’ve never seen him, but the family had a house on Decatur Street NW off Georgia Ave. NW, couple houses down from Muhammad Ali’s aunt’s house, and I think still does, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. Read more

The A/C’s gonna go first heat wave and since you missed winter the furnace is gonna go first snowstorm. And now it’s your damn A/C and furnace. And that’s fab! I’m the biggest financial dumbass of all time, but I think you’ve made a good move. Read more
