Wizards Grab First Win of Season
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by BlairDC.
I’m not an NBA fan usually. Having grown up in North Carolina and being an alumni of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I get my court kicks through college b-ball, preferably my beloved Heels (who won last night!). But when FamousDC was invited to the Wizards-Raptors game last night, even I jumped at the [...]

Very mediocre weekend with not a lot of scoring. No, I’m not talking about being married, but I might as well be. I’ve got some big items to get to so we’re going to make this a Chaz Bono – short on top and fat in the middle. (Second Chaz Bono reference of the year [...]

Posted on 15. Dec, 2011 by Redneck Genius.
It is with great sadness that I must announce that I was fired as my fantasy football team’s coach this week amid the continued negative focus on my drafting of Peyton Hillis and Chris Johnson in the first and second round of this year’s draft.

I didn’t make the playoffs in my “important” leagues (important = money on the line). Now I have to tell my wife that there’s not going to be Christmas for the family this year. That’s what happens when you put all of your fantasy eggs in a Chris Johnson basket. She’s going to blame [...]

I’d like to use my intro for my own two cents on the Penn State Pederast Parable playing out in front of the nation. You gotta know that part of the outrage is being fueled by fans of Penn’s rivals. It’s bad, no doubt, but Michael Jackson didn’t have nearly the righteous indignation [...]
