On Frozen Pod, Episode 3 – Lost In Washington Post Wonderland

27 February, 2009

Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post and the D.C. Sports Bog graciously hosted us recently in an infamous colleague’s office. We discussed local media’s bandwagon embrace of the very winning Capitals, and if it was likely to last; if the Caps became consistent winners, could there be a re-orienting of local media’s coverage hierarchy; and would he get a tattoo when the Caps win the Cup.

Conversion to the Caps

19 February, 2009

Even though it’s hard to get excited about the Nationals these days, Dan Steinberg always seems to find something worthwhile. One of his latest missives from spring training is about Ross Detwiler, a left-handed pitcher from Missouri. Detwiler, as it turns out, is a hockey fan. While he’s primarily a Blues fan, he is starting to follow the Caps.

Dan Steinberg spent some time digging through the Post archives and unearthed a few gems. Here are a few samples: [...]

The End of the Magical 1998 Run to the Finals

17 June, 2008

We recently reminisced about the ten-year anniversary of a golden moment: when Joe Juneau’s goal propelled the Washington Capitals to their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Today, Steinz looks back on D.C. Sports Bog to the day the run ended with excerpts from the Post‘s coverage 10 years ago. It’s a good read and, lest [...]

The Color of Success

2 April, 2008

My good friend Eric McErlain didn’t pick a good night to play hookie from the hockey rink. But he doesn’t have much red in his wardrobe anyway. But first thing’s first. I asked for one WaPost columnist to attend Tuesday night and George Solomon sent two, including himself. There were enough Post reporters in attendance [...]

Prodigal Prose Talent Comes Home (?)

30 August, 2007

Almost all of Dan Steinberg’s dizzying prose talents are on display in this fantastic file. It reminds us of why we were so effusive in our praise of his work early last autumn and then expressed dismay when he abandoned our sport throughout the winter and spring. As you read the file, ask yourself this [...]
