Playing their third game in four days (and fifth in eight), the Caps managed to hold off an equally tired Atlanta team last night 6-4 with a ripping shot from John Erskine with just under seven minutes remaining. It was Erskine’s second goal in four games; previously, he’s had seven goals in 336 [...]
Wizards Outplayed By Bobcats
Defense.
We know it makes champions, and it was certainly the key to the Wizards victory against the Rockets this past Wednesday. However defense was also a weak point coming into tonight’s game against the Charlotte Bobcats- the Wiz were 24th in the league allowing 106 points per game to opponents. Charlotte on the other hand entered the [...]

She Loves DC: Megan Morrison
Lots of notable written works have their roots in Washington, DC: laws, newspapers, and Snuggie sex instruction manuals.
Wait, what?
You heard me, Snuggie. Sex. Instruction. Manual.
I recently had lunch downtown with Megan Morrison, a graphic designer and co-author of The Snuggie Sutra. While talking about trashy reality TV shows and life in Adams Morgan, she pulled [...]
