These dudes from Texas made a trick-shot video in D.C.
Dude Perfect, a group of backwards-hatted and Jesus Christ–glorifying basketball trick shooters, brought their talents to the District recently, and they made one of the better D.C. tourist videos you'll ever see.

Strasburg continues pitching in the minors, we continue waiting
After a disappointing last outing, Stephen Strasburg was pretty nonchalant about his performance, saying that he was glad he got shelled, and that now he knew what he needed to fix. Well, he fixed it.

Bryce Harper is like a rolling stone, but with a limp now (video)
"How does it feel / To be without a home / Like a complete unknown / Like a rolling stone?" Those are the biting, immortal lyrics that serenaded Bryce Harper as he was helped off the field last night by two Harrisburg Senators staff members. He had injured himself while advancing from first to third on a single, and the Akron Aeros' music director was adding insult.

Joe Biden is in China, watching the Georgetown Hoyas play ball
Vice President Joe Biden traveled all the way across the world to watch a college basketball team that practices mere blocks from his D.C. home. OK, maybe he's also in China to convince our country's biggest lender that America's economic policies — and politicians — aren't really as whack as they seem.

Rex Grossman ignores mockery, repeats NFC East prediction
Despite winning their first preseason game, the Washington Redskins aren't going to win the NFC East. But backup quarterback Rex Grossman — bless his heart — won't admit that maybe he went too far in predicting that the 'Skins will take the division.

Here's a video of shirtless men playing flag football
The DC Gay Flag Football League has just published a calendar, Shirts & Skins, that features D.C.'s gay and straight flag footballers — some stripping down, others in Hugo Boss suits. (It costs $20 a pop, with the proceeds benefiting GLBT high school athletes.) They also made the following video of shirtless men inaction, but don't get too excited: These guys are way out of your, uh, league.

Malcolm Gladwell likens Dan Snyder to 'petulant 14-year-old'
I'm not sure what Dan Snyder expected to happen when he sued the Washington City Paper. Maybe he thought he could intimidate the alt-weekly into publishing a hasty retraction, and perhaps even discourage them from eviscerating him (with factual facts!) in the future. I can't imagine he expected this backlash, though, with Deadspin's daily "We Are All Dave McKenna" up to CXCIX — and now, even Malcolm Gladwell is jumping on the pile.

Georgetown students love Heineken, says animated brawl video
Now that the basket-brawl in Beijing between the Georgetown Hoyas and a Chinese professional team has become international news, the obvious next step in its viral trajectory was to become the latest video from Next Media Animation, the Taiwanese studio that has a knack for discovering new levels of absurdity.

Ryan Zimmerman is just like Babe Ruth, but without video evidence
Did Ryan Zimmerman pull a Babe Ruth and call his shot during yesterday's 6-4 victory over the Reds? Manager Davey Johnson tells MASN that, in the dugout last night, the Washington Nationals' third baseman “made it known to everybody on the bench: ‘[The pitcher] is going to throw me a fastball in, and I’m going to hit it out of the ballpark, a bomb.'" And then, sure enough, this un-embeddable thing happened.

Lazy Redskins fans will pay a dollar more for beer this year
It's going to be slightly more expensive to get drunk at Redskins games this year. City Paper's Dave McKenna reports that, according to a fan message board, the price of beer from FedEx Field vendors has gone up a buck, to $9. Some fans say this will hurt the vendors, who collect money from tips in addition to a 10-percent commission on sales.

If you have autism, Strasmas isn't such a celebratory occasion
It's almost impossible to get a ticket to tonight's Potomac stop on the Stephen Strasburg Reunion Tour 2011, but while a sold-out Pfitzner Stadium should make the Nationals organization happy, it's the worst-case scenario for people with autism — a large number of whom plan to attend the game.

The Potomac Nats have sold out a baseball game, and you know why
Stephen Strasburg pitched almost three innings on Sunday, and his arm didn't fall off. That means it's time for him to move on to high-A Potomac. But if you want to see Strasmas in August this Friday night, you're out of luck; the game is sold out.
