Caps hit 11 straight
Feel free to correct me on any of these facts. The hour is late as I type, and my media guide collection is incomplete. But it seems that 11 straight wins is a significant accomplishment in D.C. sports history. * The longest single-season winning streak in Redskins history is...

Ben Olsen shovels out the practice field
Here's an early nomination for Ben Olsen as D.C. area assistant coach of the year. When he heard that head equipment manager David Brauzer was out on the team's practice fields, clearing the snow with a shovel, by his lonesome, Olsen apparently headed out to help. I mean, Jerry...

D.C.'s third- and second-longest tenured pro coaches. Chatting at 11:30. Submit questions here. And don't ask me when Shanahan is getting hired. I don't know. When Manny Acta was fired this summer, I posted some stats showing that D.C. had, by far, the shortest combined coaching tenure of any...

Top 10 D.C. sports busts of the decade
After nearly three weeks of your voting on the local athlete of the decade, here's my list. And yeah, I'm closing with busts, because in some sense this decade of D.C. sports was defined by the bust, which affected every major team. Indeed, the decade could be largely described...
