  • That UMD football helmet that everyone mocked can be yours

    9/8/11 12:31 PM

    Your first thought when you saw those hotly debated Maryland uniforms probably wasn't, "Man, I gotta have one of those!" But if you did, or just want to own a piece of athletic/sartorial history, here's your chance.

  • The second coming of Strasburg is notably different than the first

    9/7/11 8:58 AM

    Stephen Strasburg came back last night, and it was almost as if he never left. In his first major league start since Tommy John surgery last year, the Washington Nationals pitcher allowed only two hits in five shutout innings of work. There was one difference, though: He may no longer be a flame-thrower.

  • The duality of man, as represented by UMD's new football uniforms

    9/6/11 10:57 AM

    Imagine if two people were asked to design half of a football uniform, independent of each other, using only the state flag as a reference. Then imagine that their designs were combined, two halves making a whole. That's what the University of Maryland's new unis looks like. When two players stand face-to-face, they look like opponents rather than teammates.

  • Harrisburg wins division title! Now they lose their ace to the Nats

    9/3/11 12:28 AM

    If you're a Class AA baseball club, and need a win to clinch a division title, you can't do much better than putting Stephen Strasburg on the mound. In his last rehab start before returning to the majors on Tuesday, he took a perfect game into the fifth inning, when he hit a batter, and reached 99 mph on the gun. Final line: six scoreless innings, 4 K's, one hit allowed, no walks. Oh, and the Harrisburg Senators won 10-0, and now enter the playoffs without their ace. Sorry!

  • Let's just rename FedEx Field as "Ben's Chili Bowl"

    9/2/11 9:10 AM

    It's not been a great off-season for Washington Redskins fans, what with the QB controversy, the unkind predictions, and the petulant owner's hopeless lawsuit. But we have some good news! Ben's Chili Bowl is opening two locations in FedEx Field this season, with kiosks at section 341 and another at section 420. And the rapidly expanding local institution is done.

  • You are not allowed to make fun of beer vendors ever again

    8/31/11 3:37 PM

    Last month, a teen attending a Washington Nationals game started choking on his food, to the point of turning pale. Standing nearby was beer vendor Emmanuel Marlow, who'd never performed the Heimlich Maneuver before; he'd only seen it done on TV. But that didn't stop him from giving it a shot, and successfully dislodging the food on the third try.

  • The Nationals debuted 'Air Screech' last night, to crickets

    8/26/11 10:03 AM

    Were you at the Nationals game last night? If not, you missed the first — and hopefully last — appearance by the "alter ego" of Screech, the Washington Nationals mascot. The giant, inflatable Air Screech got "no reaction whatsoever" from the fans, according to one WJLA employee who was there. The video below confirms as much; you can hear perhaps one person laugh, once.

  • Ravens player freaks out during earthquake, Eagles don't (video)

    8/24/11 10:19 AM

    Most of us in the Northeast aren't accustomed to earthquakes, so we can be forgiven if we slightly overreacted yesterday afternoon. Torrey Smith, a Maryland alum and wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, was videotaping a spot for his alma mater when the quake hit. "I have Maryland pride," he says, and then this happens...
