The Post's Pigskin Paparazzi

8 August, 2007

I’m not making this up: The Washington Post has dispatched quasi-blogger Dan Steinberg to Redskins’ training camp. After all, who among us wouldn’t agree that that paper’s coverage of the Burgundy and Gold doesn’t cry out for a blogger’s amplifcation? If the matter weren’t so parochial, I swear it’d generate Tank McNamara treatment by Friday. [...]

A Farewell to Other Athletes' Arms

15 February, 2007

I learned something startling this week — that a Washington Post blogger-reporter feels uncomfortable around the athletes in the Washington Capitals’ locker room. Let me first say that Dan Steinberg’s experiences and perceptions are obviously his own, and as such are not for me to second-guess or judge. Secondly, if anybody from the Post ought [...]

Steinberg Valentine

14 February, 2007

I’m sending out a Valentine today to Dan Steinberg, who in a comment he left for us late yesterday indicated his impending return to the Hockey Family. He even pledged to attend practice today at Kettler-Capitals Ice Complex. Anyway, we welcome him back. And we hope that the new Steinberg set to come into the [...]

Free Dan Steinberg

13 February, 2007

A thread started this afternoon on the Caps’ official message boards highlighted a concern we first started noticing weeks ago: what’s happened to Dan Steinberg’s once spirited and regular coverage of the Caps? The thread author has much the same lament we do: “I was really encouraged during training camp and the opening months of [...]

A View from the Press Box

21 January, 2007

Last week I journeyed to the top of the Phone Booth to cover the Caps/Flyers game for Off Wing Opinion, where you’ll find my game coverage from that night. What follows here is a glimpse into my experiences in the press box, locker room, and the concrete-and-steel maze that is the Capitals’ home. After entering [...]

On Frozen Ombudsman for the Week of November 17

17 November, 2006

The week commenced catastrophically: on an ad hoc assignment to cover the Caps, WaPost’s Amy Shipley, seemingly in over her head, filed an ignorant and nonsensical game account from Miami Monday night. However, the week improved appreciably thereafter, culminating with Christmas-morning-wrapped-goodies-under-the-tree kind of news relating to a geriatric hockey hating television news anchor at WRC [...]

Woodward and Bernstein, report back to 15th St.

7 November, 2006

No less than a Washington Poster, of the blogging breed, has quickly seized my column writing on the Caps challenge: Dan Steinberg, who this autumn has emerged as a D.C. hockey fan’s best friend on 15th St., says in a fresh file: “I would say coming back from 3-0 to win 4-3 is the kind [...]

99 Hats

9 October, 2006

I was chastised for not throwing my hat to the ice on Saturday night after Alexander Semin scored his first career hat trick. (Truth be told, I was so far up in the thin air of the Verizon Center it would have never made it out of the upper bowl). Many people did throw their [...]
