From my Surly Editor® Mike James , a vintage clip I'd all but forgotten. I don't know HOW: it's brilliant, timeless and more than a little Pythonesque. You don't see many station promos this whimsical anymore, but it's really no sillier than your average spot featuring some middle-aged weatherman all puffed up and voguing atop his very own Doppler tower. Now for something completely different...

Bringing back Antonio Daniels was an option for the Wizards to get through their ongoing injury crisis, but Earl Boykins was always Washington's front-runner to pick up some of the guard minutes vacated by injuries to Randy Foye (ankle), Mike James (hand) and Javaris Crittenton (foot) and with Gilbert Arenas playing through calf soreness this week. The Wiz wanted a good vet and someone who could push...

By Mike James in Germany 11-11-9 David Cameron, the leader of the British Conservative party, has, quite predictably, reneged on his promise to the British people to allow for a referendum on the illegal and treasonous Lisbon Treaty. This convoluted piece of repressive legislation is designed to place all living and future generations of Europeans in chains for ever and a day. Cameron, like
When training camp began, the concern was what the Wizards were going to do with so many guards. They had a logjam and the battle for minutes was going to be so intense, blah blah blah. I guess we should've known that those problems would be handled the Wizards Way -- through some unfortunate injuries. First, Javaris Crittenton went down, then Mike Miller, then Mike James, then Randy Foye, leaving...
Marc Stein of ESPN.com is reporting that the guard-depleted Wizards plan to sign veteran Earl Boykins. Wizards guard Randy Foye sprained his right ankle during Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. And guards Javaris Crittenton, Mike James and Mike Miller were already out with injuries. Boykins, 33, spent last season in Europe playing for Virtus Bologna in Italy's top division. Michael Lee is flying...
The prognosis on Randy Foye 's injury hasn't come back yet, but Mike Jones is reporting that Ernie Grunfeld is about to make a move to get another point guard on the roster. I just spoke to Ernie Grunfeld while I'm sitting here waiting for my flight back to the D.C. area, and the Wizards team president confirmed that he is indeed likely to make a roster move to shore up the injury-stricken back court....

The immortal Mike James has a broken finger : “The Wizards don’t have a roster spot available to move [assistant coach Sam Cassell] over a few spots over on the bench. But yet another injury forced Cassell into point guard duty in practice on Monday, when the Wizards realized that they would be without Mike James for the next four to five weeks with a fractured left ring finger. With his...
