So much for the “action” part of this post. The only professional sporting involving a team from the area last night was an exhibition basketball game; the Wizards won — Gilbert Arenas had 24 and Antawn Jamison had 15 and 11 — but c’mon, who really cares about an exhibition NBA game? Yes, although October may be one of the best months on the national sporting calendar, we in Washington are in a bit of a lull. The Redskins are pathetically struggling to make it through the easiest schedule stretch in NFL history at .500. The Capitals are on their first slump of the year, though it’s still early. Our local college football teams, for the most part, are nothing to call home about, and hoops doesn’t really kick in for another month or so. D.C. United is winding down a disappointing campaign, the Wizards are still in first gear, and the Nationals are stuck wondering how they can get their city to watch them on TV.
