2025 was, for all intents and purposes, a pretty bad year for the Washington Nationals. Expectations weren’t especially high, with most fans expecting a win total in the 70s and a few holding out with playoff hopes, but the team wasn’t able to achieve even that, finishing 66-96 and resulting in the firing of Manager […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Washington Commanders defensive lineman Jer’Zhan {Johnny) Newton, who seems to finally be living up to his potential for a franchise that could use every bit […]
Entering 2026, the Washington Nationals bullpen is loaded with uncertainty. The unit had the worst bullpen ERA in all of baseball last year, with a 5.59 mark. Rather than adding to the unit, Paul Toboni has made the group even worse on paper so far this offseason by trading presumptive closer Jose A. Ferrer to […]
The big question with the Philadelphia Eagles this week is if they’re going to rest starters or not in their Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. There appears to be increasing sentiment that the Eagles will indeed prioritize rest despite the fact that the Eagles must do their part to win to have a […]

Sam Reinhart scored twice and set up Aaron Ekblad’s game-winning goal in the Florida Panthers 5-3 victory over the Washington Capitals at Amerant Bank Arena. Tom Wilson scored the first of his two first period goals at the 3:53 mark to give the Capitals an early lead. Dylan Strome sent Martin Fehervary away on a rush and after the blueliner’s shot was stopped by the Sergei Bobovsky, Wilson easily potted the rebound. The Panthers countered 42 seconds later when Aliaksei Protas threw p...

The Commanders got some help from the teams near them in the draft order last week to set up an exciting finish to the race for draft position. Most importantly, two of the three teams that were two losses ahead of them won their Week 17 games to fall within striking distance. The New York […]
The Islanders wake up still in second place in the Metro after the Capitals lost in regulation to Florida last night. They are in Chicago to try to rebound from the loss in Columbus and build some cushion in the ever-close Eastern standings — where Buffalo is now two points behind. After a promising but […]
The Wizards’ defensive game plan against the Phoenix Suns was straightforward: make life tough for Devin Booker, and make Someone Else generate offense. The plan worked — Booker needed 23 shots to score 22 points and produced an offensive rating (individual points produced per possession used x 100) of just 97 (league average is 115.8). […]

The Washington Wizards came into this one riding their first win streak (two straight victories) in more than nine months. The Suns were having one of their better weeks of the season, with three straight wins (against the Lakers, and then twice against the Pelicans). So something had to give.

The Washington Commanders played on Christmas day, and are now getting back into their weekly routine for Sunday’s season finale against the Eagles in Philadelphia.

There were no blockbuster moves made by the Nationals this past week, but there were a couple interesting news items I wanted to discuss. With the holiday season, the MLB offseason has slowed to a crawl this week. However, there was still some movement and fun things to take a look at. The most noteworthy […]

Along with Heinen, the Penguins sent a 2026 second-round pick that originally belonged to the Blues and a 2027 third-round pick that originally belonged to the Capitals. The Penguins have built up a sizeable […]
Happy Monday everyone! It is Dec.. 29, 2025 and we have just three more days left until we ring in 2026. With that in mind, let’s talk about how this could relate to the Washington Wizards specifically. I’ll have a different post for the Mystics. Calendar years don’t perfectly align with NBA seasons. After all, […]
After spending the 2024 season with the Milwaukee Brewers as a solid swing-man, the Phillies gave Joe Ross a one-year deal for what seemed like a similar role. Over the course of seven seasons with the Washington Nationals and the aforementioned Brewers, Ross has made 86 starts while coming out of the bullpen 37 times. […]
It’s been over one month since the inaugural Houston Texans Mock Draft for the 2026 class, and things are starting to shape up around the league. The Texans are jockeying for position in the AFC playoff race. Meanwhile, The Washington Commanders, who the Texans have their 2nd and 4th round picks, have fallen to a […]
In one of the more persistent Wizards trends of the past few decades, the team did something fun, interesting or meaningful when I was otherwise occupied and unable to watch or respond. Over the years, the Wizards have made signs, trades, or other major personnel moves (front office and coaching staff included) when I’ve been […]
