*The Flyers took the train down to D.C. to take on the Capitals tonight and boy oh boy is it imperative that they keep the wins coming.

And when he does play, here’s what we ought to expect. [ Flyers ] *Martone faced The Beats yesterday and explained that joining the Flyers after Michigan w...
After a long season, one of the fun subplots to close the season has been the unexpected LeBron-Bronny minutes over the last week. Once purely ceremonial, Bronny has earned his time with decent performances in his recent outings. It seems to have reenergized LeBron during stretches of the game when he could wain and it’s […]
After a sloppy first quarter, the Lakers pulled away for a comfortable win against the Wizards without Luka Dončić on Monday, 120-101. With Luka serving his one-game suspension after receiving his 16th technical foul, Austin Reaves and LeBron James stepped up, along with the Lakers’ centers. LA also crushed the Wizards in transition, outscoring them […]
If you were hoping for an upset tonight by the Washington Wizards tonight, you would be disappointed. They lost to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier tonight, 120-101. Though Washington was able to head out of the first quarter with a 26-25 lead, they allowed the Lakers to outscored them 40-18 in the second quarter, which […]
It was a beatdown at Citizens Bank Park, but for the first time in a while, the Nats were the ones delivering the beating. They destroyed the Phillies in a 13-2 blowout. The good guys had 17 hits and had the Phillies by the neck from the jump. It has been a while since the […]
The Nationals’ starting pitcher tonight, Foster Griffin, recently returned stateside from his years with the Yomiuri Giants of Tokyo. By taking that journey, Griffin followed in the footsteps of Lafcadio Hearn, a resident of New Orleans who moved to Japan and became the author of the collection of ghost stories and tall tales known as […]

While it has been whispered and pondered on and speculated, there is at least now more reputable confirmation that the debut date for Philadelphia Flyers top prospect Porter Martone has been set. According to The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz, Martone will be lacing up for his NHL debut Tuesday night as the Flyers visit the Capitals in Washington. Porter Martone is IN tomorrow, confirmed. — Kevin Kurz (@KKurzNHL) March 30, 2026 This comes after several hours of following the ins...
Washington Commanders managing partner Josh Harris and general manager Adam Peters talked to local reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, AZ today. Head coach Dan Quinn spoke with the media earlier in the day. Harris gave updates on the new stadium, uniforms, the Commanders name, and talked about his confidence in Peters and […]
After a great series win in Chicago to open the season, the Nats face another tough challenge. The Philadelphia Phillies have had their number for the last few years. However, these new look Nats have already shown they will not back down. This is also the first divisional matchup and the last series before the […]
The Washington Wizards are still at a point in their rebuild where they cannot afford to get picky positionally when scouting players and making deals with other teams. A solid foundation exists with Trae Young, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr at the center flanked by Tre Johnson, Anthony Davis, Bilal Coulibaly and Justin Champagnie, but […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Nationals: Let’s talk about it.
The Cubs wrapped up their first series against the Nationals at home over the weekend. It didn’t go as planned with the North iders dropping two of three games after both Matthew Boyd and Shōta Imanaga had some trouble with the long ball. But the big news last week wasn’t the opening series, it came […]
I have never met Bruce Cassidy, but people have said that he's a well-spoken, thoughtful man who would give insights to his decisions made while coaching. We can debate all day about his reluctance to name Logan Thompson the starter in Las Vegas, eventually leading to Thompson being traded to Washington where he's now 4-0 against his former team including stoning them in the shootout yesterday, prompting the reaction above. The knee-jerk reaction by Vegas to fire a coach who led the team to th...
After an unideal opening series against the Rangers, the Phillies will get their first look at a National League East opponent this season. And in what is hopefully good news, it’s the NL East opponent that most pundits expect will finish last in the division. Washington Nationals Record: 2-1 (Second place in National League East) […]
The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-1 this week with blowout wins over the Milwuakee Bucks and Washington Wizards broken up by a loss to the Dallas Mavericks. As the Blazers continue this late-season push for NBA Play-In Tournament seeding, there have been a number of players who have stepped up during different games. A different […]
The Nats? GREAT! It was a good Opening Day and a good weekend as the Nats took the series from the Cubs and started the year with one of these for the first time since... 2018? Wow. I mean it's close to a 50/50 thing. ok. The hero of the series is Joey "Enjoy it while you can" Weimer 6-6 with two walks and 2 homers. MVP! On the other side Wood looked really lost in the series striking out 7 times. The starting pitchers were mediocre but good enou...
The Washington Nationals have a new superstar, and his name is Joey Wiemer. Okay, that might be a bit much, but the outfielder has made quite the first impression for Nats fans. In his 8 plate appearances this season, Joey Wiemer has not gotten out. He is a different kind of locked in right now, […]
Commanders links Articles Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) NFL Draft Profile: RB Jeremiyah Love I’ll get into the whole positional value debate regarding the running back position later in this post, but one of the top players in this draft is Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. He’s frequently being mocked to the Commanders in many […]
The Wizards got utterly blasted by the Portland Trail Blazers, trailing by as much as 39 before finally losing by 34. While the score was close into the second quarter, there was no point where the game felt truly competitive. Once again, it felt like when Portland started making the abundant open looks they were […]
The Los Angeles Lakers (48-26) have back-to-back games coming up at home against the Washington Wizards (17-56) and Cleveland Cavaliers (46-28) to begin the week.

The Portland Trail Blazers cruised to a resounding 123-88 win over the Washington Wizards to wrap up a four-game homestand Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t as easy as the final score suggests. The Blazers lacked urgency and let the lowly Wizards hang around. The Wizards overcame a poor shooting start to tie the game at 39-39 […]
