LOL Tony Weiner. WASHINGTON (CNN) – Partisan politics was shelved for a few hours Tuesday night as Democratic and Republican congressmen teamed up with former NFL players in a gridiron battle against the U.S. Capitol Police. The fourth annual 'Longest Yard' flag-football game raised more than $75,000 for the Capitol Police Foundation and the Washington Literary Council, but former Washington...
Even though it has no "official" bearing on the NFL's Hall of Fame voting, the NFL has teamed up with Van Heusen and JC Penny to put together a Hall of Fame fan vote . It marks the first time in which the NFL has at least recognized fan voting in regards to the Pro Football Hall of Fame - even if it has no real impact on the actual Hall of Fame voting. Regardless, it's still a pretty cool...
Since we are post-bye week, we're attempting to finish the All-Cardinal team, and we started over the weekend with the middle linebackers , and you can see the rest of the All-Cardinal team on the left pane of the home page. We are also approaching the Cardinals next opponent, the Houston Texans , so we must finish this week. Not to worry, as we only have the head coach after this. So to continue on,...
I heard from a reader the other day who was concerned that some of the team's quote machines, like defensive mastermind Greg Blache, have been a little bit off their game this summer. Well, put those concerns in a lockbox somewhere, because Blache was on slinging the verbal darts Friday night. I have no idea what sort of history there might be between him and Trevor Matich, but a verbal flamewar erupted...

This might be an interesting off-day discussion topic: what's been your biggest mistake as a Royals fan? Many of us have been quite critical of the Royals this season, so maybe it's only fair that we also come forward with all the times that we were wrong about what we thought. No, it isn't the same of course, at least not until we also start getting paid full time to make baseball decisions, complete...
A month or so ago, the subject of Camera Day @ old Royals stadium came up in the UL Washington, greatest Royals thread, and I said that I'd try to find some old pictures of me, with legends of days past. Well, I had asked my parents to help in that endeavor some time ago, and I just got an email from my dad with the scans... I think it would be a fun thread if anyone else has any photos of themselves,...

Last year, in the 2008 All-Star game, Joakim Soria faced nine batters in the 11th and 12th innings, playing a huge role in an eventual American League victory. It hasn't always been...
Former Royal Ken Harvey was off to a good start with the T-Bones this season, standing eighth in the Northern League with a .351 average. So it is surprising to see his name show up on the waiver wire.
Just when you think this string of Super Bowl era players could come to an end...it does. I toyed all day yesterday with the notion of a sentimental favorite of mine: Steve Cox. He kicked and punted (I know...why the distinction'). He was brought in for long-yardage field goals and owns one of the six field goals ever made from beyond 60 yards. That's right...a dude who packed serious power between...
Guys like him gave guys like them wedgies in middle school. But former Washington Redskin Ken Harvey had full attention from an audience of NASA engineers, technicians, and scientists for a reason other than abject fear last month: space football . "There’s a bonus," [said Harvey], "where you have to pick up a person holding a certain ball and throw them through a hoop as a sort...
(PhysOrg.com) -- Ken Harvey, former linebacker for the Washington Redskins is trying to capture the imagination of young people by proposing a 21st century game of "Float Ball" to be played in zero-gravity. The Xtreme game of Float Ball combines elements of football and basketball with weightless players bouncing off walls, banging up against each other with the objective of moving varied...

Space. It’s just up there, cold and far away and — at least for the time being — comparatively bereft of good recreational opportunities. Yes, there’s ice cream (of sorts). Space-walking is popular. Repairing crumbling space infrastructure will at least keep you busy. But it took 11-year NFL vet Ken Harvey — whom I remember [...]
