Thomas Boswell – Angelos’s Tactics: Par for the Coarse – The Post
The belligerent Orioles owner should ask himself how we will react to his bad faith. After all the cash Washington fans have put in his team’s pockets, this is our repayment? Who but this litigious bully would try to hijack the entire nation’s capital when he has no shred of a legal claim?
Can I get an amen?
Sally Jenkins – Badly Fooled By the Pitch – The Post
New Yorker Sally Jenkins wonders out loud how this a good deal for D.C. and if it is worth the cost. Well, ask anyone in Cleveland, Denver, or Baltimore if they like their ballparks and see what they say.

Cannons Join the Expos – The Post
Apparently, the minor league team in Prince William county tried to align with the Expos two years ago, but were unable to because MLB did not want the appearance of favoritism in the Expos relocation. I would go to some Cannons games if they were aligned with a D.C. team.
O’s fans say they won’t head south if Expos come – The Sun
Here is a story that Angelo$ has to read. It turns out that not everyone will jump ship on his team the minute a D.C. franchise plays ball. In other news, the sky is blue, the earth is round, and it is more difficult to see in the dark than in the light.

PENN STATE AT WISCONSIN
Tonight is a HUGE test for the Nittany Lions. Win this one and they have a good springboard for the rest of the Big11Ten season. Lose it and well, we know what happened last year. Also, my friend Brenda Mayrack is my enemy today and she is already playing hardball.
Badgers will pose big test for PSU – The Collegian
Like I said earlier…though if they lose, I hope they take it as just one game and move on. Every game left appears to be a toss-up from this point on.

If they can hold off on the turnovers, they can win. More than 2 turnovers and they will be hard pressed to win.

Linebacker Posluszny catching on quick – CDT
Everyone is pleased with the development of LB Paul Posluszny
Ron Bracken – Numbers saying it all about Mills’ season – CDT
They sure are, but if PSU stays at a .667 pace, lots of people will be pleased. I do not think they can if Mills keeps coughing up the ball.
More from the Post-Gazette: Mills must play in no-mistake zone
Ganter guided potent offense to success during 12-0 season – CDT
I can think of one party guest who will not even read this article as it would challenge his entire worldview. Hopefully, in ten years they will be writing a similar article about OC Galen Hall.

They are following the Ohio State model without as many close calls.
