Yankee Stadium
 

Published 2 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

This past Saturday was the draft for one of our fantasy football leagues. Q, The Sports Freak, Stu, and myself made the trek up to New York City to meet up with Bob and another friend of ours. What better to do on draft weekend than to go to Yankee Stadium? OK, the Redskins were in town against Favre and the Jets (I nearly said Bennie & the Jets !). But it was only pre-season. We had live, ...

Fantasy Football League Draft
 

Published 3 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

It was the 7th Annual Keeper League Draft for Stu, Q, Big Money Tony, Bob, and me this weekend. We rotate the draft locations every year. This year it was NYC and a Yankees Game. Yankee Stadium offers a proud tradition of history in baseball. It's everything that you remember about baseball when you were a kid going to a game with family. The dimensions, monuments, and fans make Yankee ...

Women's Chinese Gymnastic's Team
 

Published 3 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

Much has been made of the women's Chinese Gymnastics Team and the age of some of the competitors. Bela Karolyi's comments have been hysterical. Q went as far as to say wouldn't it be great to have a Bela Karolyi channel? With NBC leading the world in coverage of the Olympics, could anyone imagine the possibility of leveraging the investigative reporting team? Maybe it would be more ...

Redskins Cheerleader Swimsuit Party
 

Published 3 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders had a party at a DC area nightclub Friday night to celebrate the premiere of the 2009 Swimsuit calendar. The Sports Freak and I attended as fans of both the team and the cheerleaders. There seemed to be confusion from the get go. Earlier in the week, I checked the website of the establishment to get some details. They were scarce, except for a $20 entry ...

What $20M is Really Worth
 

Published 5 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

Details of the Green Bay Packers $20M-10 year retirement deal with Favre have been revealed . Apparently there was more to it than just "Go Away". What I find interesting is that supposedly this was in the works since right after Favre retired. Seems pretty interesting. So many other great players never had this opportunity. Where is Joe Montana these days? Running a diner . Joe ...

AFC East Prediction
 

Published 7 days ago by Stu Humboldt at The DC Sports Page

New England Patriots After their Super Bowl upset defeat at the hands of the Giants, the Patriots are looking to repeat as division champs and advance deep into the playoffs. Their offense is returning largely intact, which is good news for a unit that set all sorts of records last year, including total points and most TD passes. Their defense still looks a little old and slow, despite the ...

Large Redskins Roster to Whittle Down
 

Published 7 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

The Redskins are in the enviable position of too many players to consider for the final 53-man roster. With just over 2 weeks before final cut, there could be 4 running backs, 6 wide receivers, 3 tight ends, and at least one fullback. For running backs, we have the fairly obvious keepers, Portis and Betts. Rock Cartwright, to the Sports Freak's dismay, will probably be the number 3. Marcus ...

USA Basketball: Redeem Team
 

Published 8 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

Team USA won by 21 vs. Angola. Much like Bond, I like my USA/Angola match-up to be shaken not stirred. Gone are the days when NBA Pros can dunk and knock down an Angolan player a la Charles Barkley with the Angolan basically asking for an autograph. The 1992 "Dream Team" really was a dream boasting some of the best players and legends of the game. In 1992 the USA won by 68 in the match up. ...

Olympic Fever

There are so many stories to discuss from the spectacular opening ceremony to Michael Phelps becoming the gold standard winning his eleventh gold medal tonight in the 4X200m freestyle relay. So much has been made of Phelps chasing down Mark Spitz record of seven gold medals. Phelps has won or been part of a team relay to set a world record time on his way to winning each gold so far through ...

Pennington Goes Shopping
 

Published 13 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

Pennington was released as part of today's events of the Favre traded unfolded. There's another side to consider with this trade. Who could benefit from the release of Pennington? A couple of obvious candidates would be Minnesota and Tampa Bay. Pennington could vault the Vikings into a serious contender in the NFC by just getting some production out of the position which would in turn free ...

Favre Gets Wish: What Will The Headlines Say About His Legacy Now?
 

Published 13 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

The drama of the Green Bay Brett Favre saga finally ended this morning as Favre was traded to the Jets. Rumors quickly circulated that Pennington would be released by the end of the day. Two quarterbacks may soon find themselves wanted by a franchise, but will Brett ultimately get what he wants and be happy? The Packers found themselves so close to going back to the Super Bowl. As much as ...

Favre to the Jets
 

Published 13 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

At least this story is over. Until he "retires" again. Brett Favre was traded to the New York Jets for an undisclosed draft pick. It is said to be conditional but at least a fourth round. Favre has immediately improved the Jets. The muddled AFC East, after the juggernaut New England Patriots now appears to be a two team race, with Brady and the Pats still significantly over Favre and the ...

Josh Hamilton Takes Control of the Home Run Derby
 

Published 15 days ago by The Sports Freak at The DC Sports Page

Nothing can captivate an audience like someone knocking the ball out of the yard at a game. JWjr summed up most baseball fans opinions when he said, "when I watch a game at home I want to see a pitcher’s duel, but when I'm at the game I want to see the ball leave the stadium." Well nothing seemed to capture the country in the now deemed steroid era of baseball following the 1994 players ...

Green and Monk in Canton
 

Published 16 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

Wow. What a great day Saturday was. The only thing that would have been better is to see it in person. How I regret that. I don't think there will be another day where two of the greatest Redskins ever get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In addition to Washington's own Darrell Green and Art Monk, Emitt Thomas, Andre Tippett, Gary Zimmerman, and Fred Dean were enshrined.  ...

Griffey to the Other Sox
 

Published 20 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

Ken Griffey Jr gets traded to the Chicago White Sox to end Major League Baseball's annual trade deadline. Griffey's post-Seattle career has closely followed another athlete, but not in MLB. The NBA's Grant Hill has similar issues, except worse. Hill has been injured his entire career, despite all his talent. Griffey in recent years has a similar problem. This however does put Griffey ...

Redskins Nation

Those of you the DC area may or may not have heard about " "> "> ">Redskins Nation ", a show that started a couple of weeks ago on Comcast Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic. I'm a Redskins fan that owns lousy premium seats. I'm at the top of the waitlist for real season tickets. So it comes with sadness that I report "Redskins Nation", the show, sucks.

Manny Being Manny in LA?
 

Published 20 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

Who knew that in all these years of Manny saying he wanted out of Boston that he actually meant it this time? Boston sent him to the LA Dodgers and got Jason Bay from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three way deal. So this was an interesting move. How will Bay mesh with the Red Sox lineup? Is Big Papi David Ortiz protecting him, or is he protecting Ortiz¿

Rankings
 

Published 26 days ago by Big Money Tony at The DC Sports Page

Well, it's time for the rankings to come out. What, why would anyone put out an NFL pre-season rank before some teams have opened training camp? Come on, I'm not talking about the NFL. It's the men's college basketball rankings ! But only since 84/85 . Extra-special Terrapin enemy edition with Duke and Georgetown bookending the rankings at 1 & 10 respectively.
