As we well know, Sea Dogs lost out to the singularly uninspiring Wizards. In their 19 seasons since the name change, the Wiz have won a total of four playoff series, playing to an aggregate regular season winning percentage of .424. It's obvious to most observers that the Washington Sea Dogs would've been a far more successful franchise.Now, two decades late, Pollin's successor Ted Leonsis has finally taken the first steps towards rectifying this egregious error. Next year, Washington will field a G-League franchise for the first time, to play in a new arena in Southeast.
That team will be called the Capital City Go-Go.
I love this all the way down. It's local and unique, paying homage to something indisputably and exclusively Washington. The name evokes energy and stamina and groove, all good things from a hoops perspective.
If you're looking for Gheorghemas presents for your favorite blogger, he wears a medium t-shirt/hoodie. And if Ted Leonsis were to think even bigger, the Capital City Go-Go would make for one hell of a cool NBA team name.

I just drove my dad to Richmond to pick up his Tesla. Reeediculous.
Does it have ludicrous mode?
Atrocious defense by Arsenal but equally as brilliant passing and set up by Man U on their second goal.
Memphis/UCF + beers = fun.
Requiring the wife to refer to me as Joey Magnifico for the rest of the day.
Will be down to the wire this afternoon for me to know if I’ll have my family room TV up and running. I’m ready to offer my contractor a handy to get it done.
TR, we are four days into a basement remodel, and of course the tv in the basement, so I feel your pain.
TJ - I’m home all day. I have beers If you want to drive into the woods and are okay with the extreme nesting activities of my 38-weeks pregnant wife be my guest.
Mayhugh, I appreciate the offer, but I am actually at the office right now, goatating furiously.
TR, handy or hundy? Both would probably do the trick.
Am guessing the over under in this Ucf Memphis game was not 117
Handy for a hundy in Hong Kong
My TV is up and running! No surround-sound speakers, but I’m back in the game.
I need to wash my hands.
Somehow, UCF-Memphis was more entertaining than UCF-USF. Georgia-Auburn is pretty good so far too. In the exact opposite way.
Over/Under was 83. Easiest bet I made all week. Really missed on my FSU wager.
bigly excitement in the vhsl group 5a state semifinal in leesburg, va. the hometown tuscarora huskies intercepted a pass and ran it back to the visitors' 15 with 17 seconds left in a tie game. they ran a play that almost took the entire game clock because the qb was scrambling. with 2 ticks on the clock, their sophomore placekicker nailed a 33-yarder to send the huskies to the state final.
That’s fun.
I definitely did not see UGA turning the ass whipping around on Auburn.
the uga result was also fun
I bet on Auburn and wow was I wrong. That fumble when they were up 7-0 and about to score was pivotal. Kudos to them.
I have Clemson giving 12 in this one.
And Rob, Tuscorara is a Leesburg school?
Wife and I have been kidless since 330. Glorious. Went to early dinner, got a nice wine buzz on, came home and made out and such, she is watching her shows now and me football. True love. Glass of nice scotchety scotch to boot.
Bettors need to bet on Indy tomorrow I believe. FWIW.
Great, turnover chain is out.
The Miami kicker’s mullet is epic.
Have been commenting on Clemson game about 20 min behind the action. Paused it during make out session. If you know what I mean.
It's awesome that we're at the point where we (or at least Danimal) live-blog sex.
I enjoy Danimal giving himself 20 minutes. Sure, buddy.
I want to see Oklahoma and Clemson in the big game.
I too took Clemson. Wanted to take the Buckeyes too but held off. Because I don’t trust JT Barrett. I think Ohio State just out athletes Wisconsin when properly motivated though.
Yeah, I forgot the elf. 16-19 min allocated to elf placement. Busted.
I’m sitting by my newly finished pool having a drink. It was 85 degrees today so I jumped in the pool. I’m looking forward to the spring/summer. Especially since I’ve already hired a pool service company.
Van Ginkel is such a Wisconsin name.
I hate you and your warm pool, Mark.
And I never knew Danimal had a tantric side to him.
I wouldn’t call my pool warm just yet but it’s certainly better than I have any right to expect in December. If Wisconsin wasn’t a total fraud they’d win this game.
Barrett is not a good QB. Buckeyes are so stacked they can get away with him. Wisconsin's fat kicker Rafael Gaglianone is my favorite player today.
Clemson has been the best team by far today of all playoff teams today. I am afraid Bama will sneak in ahead of the Buckeyes. I hope that doesn't happen. SEC doesn't deserve two schools this year.
Our dog licked up my kids puke last weekend (there was a lot of it and I had to leave the room during cleanup) and now he’s super sick. I feel really bad for him.
You are right on Clemson, but Oklahoma was 1b.
danimal, tuscarora is my kids' school. it was opened 7-8 years ago in the thriving leesburg metroplex.
Bama do ant deserve to get in. I don’t really think Ohio State does either though.
Clemson looks good but I have doubts about Bryant. I’ll reluctantly take Oklahoma based on Baker.
I pointed out the fat Italian kicker to my wife. Because I will never pass up a chance to mock Italians. Most overrated gene group ever.
And to follow up on my Italian shade, my wife needs help getting to Netflix through Rocky for the 30th straight weekend (approximately).
Ayo!! Fug yoo ya fuggin batchegaloop. We taught da world ta eat!
Kicker is Brazilian, but keep mocking those Italianos!
By “Rocky”, I meant Roku. Italians are still stupid.
The frenetic field guy on the Big 10 field is mesmerizing. Zero chance he knows exactly what he's doing, but A for effort. He's like a squirrel. Not our squirrel, but a squirrel.
Fat kickers are fun. Regardless of heritage.
Fumagalli!!
it's hard for me to argue that alabama deserves to get in, but if the primary competition is ohio state, there's no chance in hell saban loses to iowa by 30. that's my closer.
What is the ethnicity of Fumagali? Is there a country called Swarthistan?
Alabama deserves to get in more than Ohio State. But I’m not here to discuss the merits of hell.
Meyer's wife chews gum with her mouth open. Huge pet peeve.
If only she had the class exhuded at GTB.
Gotta be Bama.
The president just told everyone to sue ABC if they lost money in the stock market. That's a whole new level of wtf.
Also wtf: "Hand on the Pump" came on during zson's 8-and-under tennis lesson.
I cranked Sabbath’s Iron Man for my two sons today while we were driving. Everybody loved it.
Hand on the Pump still bangs. Most of that first Cypress Hill album does.
Oh that album holds up tremendously, it just seems like an odd fit for a bunch of first- and second-graders and middle-aged women. I'll never tire of "I'm heading up a river with a goat and a paddle and I'm handing out beatdowns."
My local sandwich shop just got Hop Gun (Funky Buddha) on tap. This could be trouble.
On the topic of old school hip hop that still holds up, Naughty by Nature’s Uptown Anthem was cranked in my car w/ my kids recently. Not entirely appropriate. At one point, I said to mysef “Oh yeah, he says ‘chillin with a titty feeling villain.’” I think my kids missed that reference.
Or maybe that's just part of their day-to-day experience living with you.
My wife somehow found Schindler's List on a cable channel. She's watching that in her bedroom. Her horniness level is less than zero.
Frank Gore's career numbers are surprising as hell. He's 400-some-odd yards behind Curtis Martin for #4 all-time rushing yards. He's just a tremendous compiler.
You made out in Schindler's List?!?
Had to take my dog to the vet today because he’s been throwing up, stopped eating and was super lethargic. They’re keeping him overnight and he may have full renal failure. Not good. Not very cheap either.
I fucking love Uptown Anthem.
anyone use an amazon fire stick or similar device for streaming stuff? recommendations? same question about the amazon alexa thingy.
Apple TV is my shit. Not only can you steam all sorts of shit you can stream music or other content from your iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV which sends it to your TV and speakers. So it's also a ghetto Sonos.
I’ve got Apple TV and concur with Z. I also have Roku in a couple smart TVs. It’s more than adequate for streaming. We have a google home. It’s cool. Also a ghetto sonos. Good sound though.
It does not seem very “rock and roll” for the Rock and Roll HOF to close at 5:30 PM.
Rock and Roll isn't as young as it used to be Marls. Gotta close up so they don't miss the early bird special.
We had to put our dog down today. He had massive amounts of cancerous tumors in both kidneys.
Sorry to hear that Mark.
Mark, so sorry to hear that. The loss of a pet is a real kick in the gut.
oh, man. i'm so sorry.
Mark, sorry to hear as well.
Bummer, Mark. Very sorry.
Mark - I'm sorry to hear that. That is terrible.
My condolences. Dogs are great, loyal pets.
Godspeed Mayfield. You were super fly.
Thanks y’all. It came out of nowhere. He was seemingly healthy just a week ago. His decline was rapid and drastic but he was suffering by the end. Really dreading telling my five year old this evening.
tomorrow may make gheorghemas history
You mean the latest start of Gheorghwali ever?
In a stunning turn of events, during zson's parent-teacher conference I learned that he is generally disinterested in class and prefers to goof off, but when challenged he will display flashes of brilliance making it clear that he can do all the stuff the teacher wants him to do when the mood strikes him. He's the class slacker and the class clown. I have no idea where he got that from. The teacher is completely flummoxed.
