Atlantic 11 Goes TV
Well, the world really is ending. The Atlantic 11 has made it to regional cable, in the form of me reading pith on Comcast SportsyNet's air after the official Atlantic 11 logo (created by voter Ian Oland) flashes on the screen. And amazingly enough, I'm getting paid for using the logo and the pith and the vote totals that my voters are contributing gratis. It's a great country, no? Poll results and selected pith will run on Washington Post Live weekly from here on out, so you'd best bring the pith next week.
Don't forget to submit your entries for the first annual Atlantic 11 March Challenge. All entries due by the start of the Big South tournament, Tuesday at 7 pm. The Washingtonpost.com pajamas will probably not be a prize, but there's a jumbo Washingtonpost.com pen where that came from.

Dan, I can't say enough how awesome you are for even using the logo in the first place. Do the comcast guys need any of the high res files I created for it? Let me know if there's any further way I can help.

Congrats on getting this on the air! Well deserved!
But I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed that such a writer as well-versed as you would use a non-existent phrase like first annual when inaugural would be more apropos. :)

That snarky comment about Versus the other night is really taking you places, no?
Please, just take me with you.

Congratulations on a job done, Big Stein, but I am not a Baltimore native. No sir, I grew up on the mean streets of Arlington, learning the hard lessons doled out on the Lyon Village basketball court and the Parkington Putt-Putt course. I reside in northern Baltimore County now, but you have to live here for about three generations and send at least two to an uppity private school before you are a native.

Wow. Another B-More County representative?
I suddenly don't feel so alone in Middle River.

Bill Fitzgerald must be from Virginia if he doesn't realize that Mike Boddicker won 20 games in 1984. He's the guy we traded to the O's for Brady Anderson, Curt Schilling AND Steve Finley. None of them have ever been accused--OFFICALLY--of steroid use. Who can forget 1980 when Steve Stone won 25 games and left-hander Scott McGregor won 20 games. Or 1979 when Mike Flanagan did it? What's my point? Keep Arlington baseball pith OUT of the Atlantic 11 until...and only until...that god forsaken commonwealth gets its own team.

B. Fitzgerald: I live in Arlington County on the dead-end of Daniel Street, a block from Lyon Village Shopping Center and just across Lee Highway from Lyon Village Park. (Speaking of the latter, have you seen the upgrades they made a year and a half ago? It's a bona fide place of recreation now!
I learn my lessons on the mean tennis courts there.)
GO, MASON!

you can't type TK and this dweeb in the same sentence! TK is a national figure, this bloggin bum is a local dufus who's trying to stay fed.

and, caphcky, don't forget that he lives in his mom's basement!
Dan, nice to see you getting in on the pith game yourself with the bazooka joe comment.
Posted by: jamie | February 29, 2008 4:50 PM
Bill, my bad. I was thinking of this other Bill Fitzgerald I know.
Jamie, I didn't write that Bazooka Joe thing. I was handed a script to which I made slight modifications. The author of the Bazooka Joe line, who shall remain nameless, clearly wishes he were a voter.
Rob, sorry, from now on I'll call it second annual.
Caphcky, hi!

Dan;
Sorry to hear about your mom's basement. I'd sell ya my house but Ted Lame-on-sis tells me in his insufferable blog that I live in Boston......:)
So LARGE and SO WRONG!

caphcky is just made because he's stuck in the attic of his mother's house... not even good enough for the basement.

Alec;
Made? I'm never made at anything/anybody.
LOL!
Let me guess.....Maryland educated are we?
Posted by: caphcky | March 1, 2008 4:38 PM
steinz has definitely made it ... not because of the a-11 hitting the airwaves ... but because he has an obsessed-stalker type in caphcky ...
yay for weirdos who like to talk junk over the internet!

I'm actually more confused how an alleged Caps fan is stepping up for Tony "Hockey is dead and I am happy about it" Kornheiser.
I also hope he has the time to come back and hit me with a "snappy" comeback.

Stepping up for? Just corrected poor sitruc's post about putting Steinberg and Kornheiser in the same post.
When Dan is nationally known, it will be justified to include him and TK together.
Alleged Caps fan? Will you be there tonight there Chesty?
ROFLMAO

I saw the poll on tv and was reminded why I stay away from polls. You've been getting more face time on WaPoLive. Please don't let it go to your head like it did TK. You're better as one of the sit-down guys than most of the others.
