“It’s totally weird if it doesn’t work. But oh my gosh—it’s working really, really well.”

On the National Mall between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

As always, D.C. United fans came out in force this year. Were you there?

Some members of the Washington Nationals hate the Wave. But some of them profess to love it.

Last week, the big soccer question around town was whether Byrd Stadium in College Park would make for a suitable temporary home for D.C. United. Suffice it to say, that conversation has picked up a lot more steam in the last few days.

While there certainly were signs of disappointment from Black-and-Red supporters who won’t see MLS Cup matches for the fourth straight season, most of the 15,965 in attendance at RFK Stadium on Saturday proved their allegiance to United through thick and thin.

Yes, it’s hockey season again.

The Nationals had a somewhat rough weekend in Atlanta, suffering their worst loss of the season on Friday and blowing leads yesterday to drop the series finale. But the swing through the The Big Peach wasn’t a total loss — after all, Saturday’s game produced this priceless image, in which Jayson Werth stands mesmerized by a dude who ran on to the field in a wedding gown.

Well, I suppose this is an innovative way for the R******* to improve their strained relationship with fans: Washington players invited 28-year-old Josh Richards to leave the bleachers and join in with them during an informal practice session today.

George Washington isn’t getting an invitation to the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament, unless they pull off some kind of miracle in the upcoming Atlantic 10 conference tournament. Of course, that’s not stopping its donors from diving headfirst into March Madness. Robert Kasmir, who was honored at halftime of the Colonials’ Saturday game against Dayton for making a five-figure donation to the university’s athletic department, was summarily tossed after yelling at the refs during the second half.
