Homer, one beautiful thing you might remember about that track at Wilson: It’s not even a 400 yard track. It’s only 342 meters long! They decided in 1997 in the middle of rebuilding the football stadium that it would be less work to just make it shorter than regulation, and nobody stood up and said, “This is… Read more
Great stories, Homer. That right field situation at Wilson bugged the crap out of me for years and years. It’s great the kids there today don’t have to put up with crap facilities. I hope your hefty lefty grew up to hit enough taters that made him forget that 400 foot single. Hitting a house across Nebraska Ave. is a… Read more
That’s an awesome story, awesomely told, BMNO. Poor man’s perfect game! In the city title game no less! Congrats on your glory days. You made my day. Read more
I didn’t intend to judge Taylor’s character. I never had any dealings with him. I can’t even remember a single interview he ever gave. Read more
Totally disagree. For all his amazing gifts and highlights, Sean Taylor was a million times bigger in death than he was when he actually played. Boycotted the media right out of college and kept it up throughout his whole career, so he had no relationship with the fans despite being worshiped. That meant he got less… Read more
The RGIII of 2012 has got to be the most thrilling pro quarterback I ever saw. Makes me sad how easy it was to forget that guy. Read more
Love the bad attitude, BR! You’ve earned your black belt in commenting! But you should probably read Jhoon Rhee’s book, where one small portion is devoted to him saying, as was said in the story, that he taught Bruce Lee how to kick. Rhee made the claim elsewhere through the years, too. The foreword to the book is… Read more

I live in DC and after a lifetime of hating Philadelphia fans (mostly just Flyers and Eagles fans, I guess) I went to a 76ers game recently and I’ve bored everybody I’ve met since with tales of how great the experience and crowd was compared to what I’m used to. I’m sure Flyers fans are still assholes, tho. Read more

P: I hear you! I was at a Wiz game this season and they announced Caron Butler’s retirement on the arena video boards, and I had to check the date on my ticket stub! Read more
Thanks for asking, DDP. I went to Falls Church High in Fairfax County, Va., as irrelevant a school as can be. Read more
The commissioner of the WCAC told me all technicals should be one shot, too, but Google is all over the map on one or two shots per tech. The Carroll coaches and AD just told me what they were told by the crew chief at the time, and the explanations could have been muddled in the fog of war. Perhaps the crew chief… Read more
