Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder says he loves the media. He is, as he wrote in a Washington Post op-ed last month, "the son of a University of Missouri School of Journalism graduate whose professional pedigree includes working at United Press International and National Geographic. I am proud of that legacy from my dad and [...]
Today Gilbert Arenas could prance through Chinatown wearing nothing but a bandolier and smile, and there would be no one to cover it. For today, every member of the District Sports Media Elite will be at the National Cathedral for the memorial service of George Michael, not the singer.
If you are from D.C. [...]
Another day, another update on Dan Snyder's Cheerleader Car Wash Sweepstakes. Another chance to run that fab/yucky photo from Snyder's WTEM promotion, the one that's sucked in some of the most brilliant minds in new media to our humble comments section.
Seems Snyder doesn't really care who he jumps in bed with these days. His partner [...]
Cheap Seats Daily and its inferiority complex ravaged sister publication remain the go-to news organs for coverage of what the Redskins have officially dubbed the Cheerleader Car Wash Sweepstakes.
Yesterday, in this very space, we blew the lid off the latest listener contest for Dan Snyder's sportstalk station, WTEM-AM, in which the Redskins owner promises to [...]
"How would you like to see the Redskins take on the Cowboys? — AND have the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders soap up and scrub down your car???"
Well? How would you like that?
Check out that ad!
It appears on the Web site for WTEM, Dan Snyder's sports talk station, to promote the latest listener contest. Top prize will [...]

The Great Dan Steinberg™'s write-up of the ill-will in the grandstands had great photos of the ill-willed.
Well, Steinberg's Bog post had great photos when it was originally posted, anyway.
As several commenters pointed out, those photos of folks with anti-Snyder t-shirts and paperwork are now gone. Just vanished.
Who [...]
In case you missed it: The pre-post-racial they-said/they-said-they-didn't situation from last year's Dunbar-Fort Hill football game will lead to a small, mostly ceremonial change in the athletes' Code of Conduct applied to all Maryland public high school sporting events.

The Great Dan Steinberg posts a Great Video of Ryan Zimmerman talking up D.C. United to promote [...]
The Arena Football League ain't ever coming to DC after all.
Sports leagues, like romantic relationships, can't survive taking a break. Last year AFL owners thought they were different, announcing that while they'd be spending the 2009 season apart, they weren't breaking up.
Again: Just need some space. Just taking some time off from each other before [...]
The great Norman Chad rips Clark Kellogg a new one in today's Washington Post.
Or, rather, Chad deplumes Kellogg a previously non-possessed one, as the blowhardy CBS color man would describe the action.
The Kellogg takedown was long overdue. Sure, he seems like a nice, smart guy—but nobody says less in more time. The TV timeouts and [...]
Dan Steinberg posted another clip from "Kindergarten Ninja" today on the Sports Bog.
That's the B-minus movie from 1994 that starred Cerrato as "Sgt. Antonelli," a detective who enlists kids to help him fight drug gangs.
It's amazing viewing.
Fallout from his role in "Kindergarten Ninja" could have legs. Folks over at Extremeskins.com, Dan Snyder's message board, have [...]
Pal Dan Steinberg has a great post on the D.C. Sports Bog today about trying to pry injury information from Wizards Center Brendan Haywood. The Bog provides a transcript of some TV reporter questioning Haywood about his lingering wrist problem. Here's a couple choice moments:
What are they talking about in terms of a timeline [...]
Dan Steinberg's been reporting on the Nationals' spring training since Tuesday. He's covered the crap out of jerky use and off-market seafood purchases, haircuts (though no visuals on Bells' new do yet), and how boring Viera, Fla. is (rather!). Accordingly, his Web traffic has plummeted, despite all his great photos of millionaires dressing funny. Give [...]
The great Dan Steinberg today posted some footage of Vinny Cerrato from his other acting job, as a character in a shoestring-budget 1993 feature film called Kindergarten Ninja.
According to the cast roster, Cerrato, who once accused Washington Post columnist/Vinny tormentor Jason La Canfora of playing up Italian stereotypes when mentioning Cerrato on his Post blog, [...]
