An email tipster passes along word that Fred Smoot just can’t get enough of Minnesota, even after he departed the Vikings for the Washington Redskins in 2007. Apparently, Smoot’s Eden Prairie home is still on the market, and if you’ve got a little change to throw around, it could be yours for the right [...]

Hey, I was supposed to do this earlier, but just a little heads-up that neither I nor anyone else will be posting new entries here for a couple days. Need some space to let the smog clear. Starting after Labor Day, my focus will shift squarely to Fred Smoot, the Wizards' invasion of Fortress Europa, D.C. United's attempt to prove that ain't no meaningless regular season like an MLS meaningless regular...

Smoot, of course, is now a Washington Redskin. This means his former 5,812 square foot home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is up for sale. The home is now listed at $849,000 which is down from an initial...

Linebacker Marcus Washington bounded onto the field, stopping to leap and bump chests with corner Fred Smoot; then exulting his teammates; then bouncing in the huddle. He did it Tuesday; he did it any number of days in previous practices.

*As you may recall, I recently proclaimed Fred Smoot as my least favorite Viking of all-time — but I must admit that I miss the comedy that Smoot provided on a regular basis. His most memorable quote obviously remains “75 percent of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Smoot.” But [...]

Just in case the trio of Fred Smoot, Chris Knoche and Steve Czaban weren't reliable enough sources on the fabulousness of Gilbert Arenas's million-dollar pool, which Czaban claimed will be one of the largest residential pools in America, I bring you alleged pics of said pool, courtesy of a regular Bog reader and diehard Wizards fan who recently visited the work site with one of the crews. Now, would...

Fred Smoot, one of the masterminds behind the ill-fated Minnesota Vikings Love Boat joyride a few years ago, recently gave any interview to a radio station in which he frequently spoke about himself in the third person and offered up his definition of tweener to describe his girlfriend: “She’s from South Carolina, country girl….Actually she’s a [...]

Fred Smoot is probably a smoodge smidge past his prime as a player, but the Redskins cornerback is just about primed to assume his rightful share of adulation as a Bizarro Washington D.C. Sports Hero. From his teammates Clinton Portis and Chris Cooley — of sub-Chappelle Show multiplicitous alter ego status and confirmed Party Mormon/Motley [...]

Yesterday, Agent Steinz caught up with Fred Smoot to talk about a vast array of topics. Mostly, the conversation centers Fred Smoot (which isn’t a big surprise if you know anything about Fred Smoot), but they manage to spend some time talking about one of Fred’s neighbors, who happens to be subject of this blog.

Gilbert hangs with Fred Smoot, goes to World Team Tennis matches to hang with Mark Ein. (By Lawrence Jackson - AP) So it turns out that Fred Smoot, Gilbert Arenas, Clinton Portis and Shawn Springs all live in the same Great Falls neighborhood. That's what Smoot told the Junkies yesterday morning, anyhow. Must make for some lively block parties, at the very least. "Well, you know, Gilbert's one of them...

(Getty) With all my postings about Fred Smoot saying stuff and me not understanding, there was some lingering acrid scent suggesting that the only reason this was funny was because a black dude was talking to a white dude, and the white dude didn't know what the hell the black dude was talking about. But any racial uneasiness can be put to rest, after this conversation I had with the extremely white...

The Bloody Bloke and Brother O'Dell. (By John McDonnell - TWP) This is a long dialogue. Very, very long. But today's second practice is special teams only, and the media room has cleared out, and, after I published two massive Fred Smoot nickname dialogues last year, I figure might as well keep riding the Fred Smoot Nickname train out to the land of inscrutable Southern-twanged incomprehensibility....

Me: You got anything to replace Johan Whatever-It-Was last year? Fred Smoot: Yeah, my name now is "Brother O'Dell, Pass the Biscuits, Pappy O'Daniels." That's my whole name. Me: Can you...can you pronounce it again?
