Its that time of the week again, time to make awful NFL picks that are almost definitely guaranteed to lose you money just like they've lost me money. Actually thats not entirely true but things aren't going as well as I'd hoped. I keep letting my heart get in the way of my head (see: [...]
I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this but last Thursday a Baltimore radio station organized a mass protest by Orioles fans. They got people to buy the cheapest tickets possible, then at 5:08 pm ('5' being Brooks Robinson's number and '8' being, of course, Cal Ripken's number) all the protesters got up from [...]
DCist is reporting a tip that Yenching Palace, the Chinese restaurant on Connecticut Avenue, might be sold and turned into a Walgreens. How the hell does shit like that happen? I love Yenching Palace, when I was a kid we used to to go there all the time. The place has been around for 51 [...]

Mr. Gammons, recovering for the past three months from a brain aneurysm, will appear on Wednesday's Baseball Tonight and has a new column up on ESPN.com.

Still hysterical though. Listen to the woman laugh as the kid is desperately trying not to fall out [...]
Turns out that whole "six degrees of seperation" thing is complete crap. A cool idea that, when you perhaps really think about it, probably didn't make sense from the start. And of course the news that its complete crap will in all likelihood never register on the public at large who will continue to think [...]
Tuesday was primary day in Maryland and for the first time in my voting life I was able to cast my ballot in person rather then by absentee ballot. I considered not voting, as its only the primary and not the general, but when I noticed that my polling place was only two blocks away [...]
No more living life on the edge for me: I now have health insurance. Since graduating from college I've been living with out a safety net, going with the Rockefeller method of being self-insured but those days are over. Constant pleas and remarks about my stupidity spurred me forward and now, should i fall off [...]
