SEEING RED:<\/strong> DC United has joined the Nationals (alternate), Capitals (home) and Redskins (home) in having a red jersey as part of their uniform. DCU’s new alternate jerseys debuted this past weekend<\/a>. Later this season, the Wizards (Mystics too, I think) will also go red for their road jerseys for the 2011-2012 season. Somebody needs to get a star from each team and pose them all in front of the Capitol all wearing red and holding a DC flag or something.<\/p>\n

SPEAKING OF CAPS JERSEYS:<\/strong> Tonight is Dino Ciccarelli Night<\/a>, so the Caps are wearing their original sweaters (like the one I got 4 years ago<\/a>) or at least the Winter Classic knockoffs.Somebody count the number of stars on the sleeve and see if it is historically accurate. No word on if Ciccarelli is taking a limo to the game, though I’m certain Champions of Georgetown is closed. Also scheduled to appear — former mascot WINGER.<\/p>\n

DIP:<\/strong> Stephen Strasburg is still trying to give up chewing tobacco<\/a> (The Post<\/em>) and wants to set a good example though isn’t going to tell anybody what to do, even though he is.<\/p>\n

STRASBURG HEALS LITTLE LEAUGER’S ELBOW:<\/strong> Well not, not quite, but Strasburg has corresponded with a Richmond-area little leaguer who threw out his elbow too<\/a> (The Mechanicsville Local<\/em>).<\/p>\n

ALL STARS:<\/strong> Alex Ovechkin<\/strong> had an assist, a goal and a penalty that required a penalty shot in the NHL All Star Game. D’Angelo Hall<\/strong> was MVP of the Pro Bowl which says a lot about the Pro Bowl, maybe even more than the NFC going up 42-0 and winning 55-41. I’m glad I watched neither game.<\/p>\n

BORDER WAR: <\/strong>WeLoveDC asks where the boundary between Redskins and Ravens country is in Maryland<\/a> — I submitted, based on what Brad said<\/a>, the Patuxent River. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the Nats – Orioles divide. Also, yinzers jumped into that post and mentioned it was Steeler Nation everywhere, which sounds better than Western Pennsylvania Diaspora, I suppose.<\/p>\n

SUPER BOWL XVIII:<\/strong> Joe Gibbs<\/strong> threw Russ Grimm under the bus for losing Super Bowl XVIII<\/a>. Grimm’s karmic punishment — his jersey is being sold with the wrong number, #63 instead of #68<\/a>. Oh and never getting a head coaching job.<\/p>\n

Lastly, did you know that the Nats have won on the road more recently than the Wiz?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
