This was not one of the Wizards finer efforts and i will leave it at that.

Listening to the postgame how Glenn Consor asked to name the all time Bullet/Wizard team only worrying about the 5 best players. I called in with my take

Earl Monroe    Wes Unseld    Gus Johnson    Gilbert Arenas     Elvin Hayes

LeBron was simply awesome last night at the Q in Cleveland. Amid chants of Traitor and Akron Hates You, the once revered King and his mates took it to the Cavs. LeBron scored 38, as his team had his back and humiliated Cleveland.  Turn the clock back 29 years , when the Pearl held out and forced a trade to New York. A similar kind of venom flowed through Baltimore that night as Earl returned to Baltimore. Boos and a … Read More »

I think back to the day when Earl Monroe left Baltimore. Similar situation? Sort of.  LeBron has left Cleveland high and dry. He never was able to win a title there. So he is going to a new dream team. If he doesn’t win there it will be a shock. But is it his win or did he have to … Read More »

The great Earl Monroe graced the Rams uniform.  In Earl’s senior year at Winston-Salem in 1967 the 6”3″ guard out … Read More »

Like many Baltimoreans, I was somewhat upset when Abe Pollin moved the Bullets to Landover.  However the albatross known as the Civic Center was certainly a leading factor in the move. Can you imagine that the structure built in 1964, still serves our great Metropolis as the major indoor arena in the area. It was wrong in 1964 as it prevented the NHL from expanding into Baltimore and it has kept thousands of great events from ever coming to the … Read More »
