Steve Buckhantz Drops His First Twitter "Dagger!" Fail

2015-10-11T16:25:00.000-04:00

The Washington Redskins kicked a 53 yard game tying field goal to send their game against the Falcons into overtime on Sunday afternoon and Washington Wizards play by play man Steve Buckhantz was excited. Buck was so excited that he threw out his famous catch phrase, used exclusively (well supposed to) for game winning, not tying, plays.

Hopkins.... DAGGER!!!!! AMAZING!!!!
— Steve Buckhantz (@SteveBuckhantz) October 11, 2015

Unfortunately for the Skins, this was not a Dagger, and the Falcons delivered a real dagger as they picked off Kirk Cousins and scored a touchdown to defeat the Redskins. Radio man Andy Pollin was on top of this.

That @SteveBuckhantz is a DAGGER!

Buckhantz is the greatest announcer in the history of the universe, and even when he is dropping premature daggers (or retracting daggers) he is still keeping us entertained!

John Wall Jumps Like A Girl

2014-09-07T21:52:00.001-04:00

John Wall is in Hawaii celebrating his 24th birthday with his friends, and the point guard posted an interesting Instagram video of him jumping off a boat into the ocean. The thing that makes the video interesting is that Wall jumps off the boat...well like this...

Yeah, that was a jumping jack thing, which is actually one step below a pencil for a grown man to do. One of his buddies even shouts out "Should have done a flip or somethin N****". Lets hope this girly jump scares away the sharks...

Marcin Gortat Driving An Armored Humvee With Usain Bolt In The Gunner Seat

2014-08-23T12:06:00.000-04:00

Yep. You aren't seeing things. That is Marcin Gortat driving an armored hum-vee. And yes, the guy in the gunner's seat on top of the jeep is world record holding sprinter and probably fastest man in the world Usain Bolt. What in the heck is going on!

Usain Bolt was in Gorat's homeland of Poland, in Warsaw to run some kind of race. After the dramatic entrance with the Washington Wizards center (who appears to be the most popular/famous person in the entire country of Poland), Bolt ended up setting the world record for the 100 meter dash.

Here's a quick video/pics from Gortat's Instagram of him driving the military vehicle:

And some other various pics from the web:

VIDEO: Gilbert Arenas Catches A Bird While Fishing

2014-08-01T11:32:00.000-04:00

Its Friday, a good day to see what wacky things the former Washington Wizards guard and unemployed yet highly paid NBA player is doing. Well Agent Zero was fishing with his family the other day in Orlando and somehow, because Gilbert, he caught a bird while deep sea fishing. And thanks to Instagram, we can all watch what looks to be a terrible day for a big bird with the narrations of Gil.

I would probably freak out if this happened.

Trevor Booker Loves Cereal, Cereal Company Takes Notice

2014-08-01T10:48:00.000-04:00

A while back, we learned that NBA player Trevor Booker is a cereal eating machine (now the Wizards have DeJuan Blair, who is a Whataburger eating machine). Booker apparently eats up to 3 bowls of the stuff each day, and recently, he has been posting/retweeting a lot of cereal related items, and fans have been sending him the same.

Well cereal company General Mills (Lucky Charms, Cheerios) took notice and sent Booker a gift package with lots of surreal cereal goodies... check out the stuff that was inside.

Looks like he got a cool Lucky Charms hat, a couple boxes of cereal, and what appears to be a green pair of Chuck Taylors (with a lucky charms logo or something?). Pretty cool move by General Mills.

Here's one example of some other cereal related Twitter love for Trevor Booker:

Kevin Durant Talks Future Teammates Bradley Beal & John Wall

2014-07-31T14:28:00.000-04:00

Monumental Network sat down with different players from Team USA camp and asked them about the Washington Wizards duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal. They got some quotes from Steph Curry, Derrick Rose, and 2016-17 Washington Wizard Kevin Durant! Here's what KD had to say about his future teammates.

"Well Brad's been comin' in shooting the ball well defending well, it's fun playing with him, quiet kid, as humble as all can be, one of those guys that can fit into any type of system and he's comin' out here and playing well"

--Kevin Durant on Bradley Beal

And then KD was asked about John Wall:

"He's controlling the game, playing hard on defense, penetrating and kicking, doing what he does with the Wizards, just penetrating and finding the open man"

--Kevin Durant on John Wall

Check out all the other player reactions in this video by Monumental Network:

John Wall Hanging Out With Nick Young & JaVale McGee This Weekend

2014-07-31T09:26:00.001-04:00

John, Nick, and JaVale. Together Again! What could go wrong?

So a while ago, JaVale McGee (who I used to play call of Duty with) started drinking a gallon jug of water each day to stay hydrated and healthy. He kept saying he was living the "Jug Life" and people kept sending him pictures of themselves with gallon jugs of water under the hashtag #juglife. And now, jug life is a softball game, and John Wall is playing...Lets get back to Jug Life...

After a while, JaVale aka Pierre ended up turning jug life into a charity to help people in foreign countries who don't have drinking water, and to help promote drinking water to stay healthy. You can read all about his charity here (and you can buy some bizarre products there too with money going to the charity, the $18 foam jugs is my favorite...WTF).

To raise some more more money for charity, JaVale called up some of his old Wizards buddies (Nick Young, John Wall) along with some other NBA Players (Kevin Love, Ty Lawson, Nate Robinson) and got them to participate in a softball game out in L.A. this Sunday.

So that should be good for John, some more time with Nick Young and JaVale McGee.

Martell Webster Is A Chimpanzee Benefactor

2014-07-28T22:04:00.001-04:00

What? What the heck does that mean? Is that for real?

Yes, it is. Martell and his wife Courtney have donated money to a Chimpanzee sanctuary in Bend, Oregon run by their friend (Chimps Inc), earning the title of Chimpanzee Benefactor. For just a $1,000 donation you too can have this title, and the benefits that come with it including a private tour with the chimps. This donation helps feed one of their chimps for a month.

Here's Martell with one of the chimps, his new friend Emma. With Martell talking to the animal like it is a baby.

In case you are wondering why Martell is in Oregon, he used to play for the Trailblazers. Lets hope Planet of the Apes doesn't start here...

John Wall Gets 2 New Tattoos, Entire Front Covered

2014-07-28T17:12:00.001-04:00

Well John Wall is covering up more of his body with tattoos. He now has his entire front side tatted up after picking up 2 more tattoos this offseason. The two new additions are a picture of him as a kid with his dad (who passed away a long time ago) and a tribute to his two sisters with their initials in a bird. Check out the new ink.

Wall already had the Raleigh skyline done on his midsection as well as a big "Mama's Boy" tribute to his mother over his right chest. Now with the 2 new tats on the rest of his chest his entire front side is basically covered. And let's not forget he's got a giant owl taking up his entire ride side, and his enormous "Great Wall" tattoo on his upper back.

At first John didn't want to get any tattoos due to marketing reasons, but after getting inked up in 2013, Wall is on a role. I did not contact Jason Reid to ask his opinion this time.

Here are some of his other ones, all done by Tattoos By Randy.

August 2013 - The Owl..."No Time To Sleep"...because he is working hard and practicing all the time.

The Raleigh skyline with area code, highway, etc. Where Wall grew up.

And here's his Great Wall Back Tattoo, a massive brick wall that says GREATWALL with no space between the T and the W...from an ESPN the Magazine Body Issue video (via Washington Post).

WORD!

Bradley Beal's 21st Birthday Party

2014-07-28T16:25:00.002-04:00

You know how you wake up in the morning and you are like, "Crap! I forgot about Bradley Beal's 21st Birthday Party. I wonder what I missed!!!!!" Well there's no need to fear. A video posted by a guy (Drew Brown) recaps the whole party from the #3 cake to naked girls in Wizards body paint to maybe 2 seconds of Brad Beal standing around.

The party was at the Marquee Restaurant & Lounge in St. Louis 3 weeks ago. (Picture via their Instagram)

Bradley Beal's Hero Was Lebron James, He Would Be A Doctor

2014-07-28T16:02:00.002-04:00

Yep. I'm still scouring YouTube for Washington Wizards content, and going through hours of boring interviews trying to find something interesting. Being the #1 Lebron hater in the world, whenever his name pops up, I start to pay more attention.

In this pretty typical interview with Bradley Beal he goes over a few things including some of his heroes growing up. The list starts with his older brother Brandon, then transfers to Allen Iverson, then...LEBRON! DAGGER! It's bad enough he is a St. Louis Cardinals fan! Check out this video interview by MaxPreps.

"then eventually Lebron was kinda my hero..."

While Beal said Lebron WAS his hero, he didn't want to say too much now that they are enemies.

"we still play him so I can't speak too highly of him"

The other interesting thing Beal said was when he was asked what he would be doing if he wasn't playing basketball. He answered "football", but then continued that if he didn't play football he would be a doctor (then said he is too old to do all that school...he is 21).

"If I wasn't a football player, I'd probably be a doctor"

John Wall Picks Lebron James Over Carmelo, Picks & Chooses His Groupies

2014-07-28T15:35:00.000-04:00

With NBA Summer League over, we are really starving for some basketball here. So I found this video interview of John Wall from the BET Awards back in June which was posted by This Is 50 yesterday in timely fashion.

In the interview Wall says he would take Lebron James as a teammate over Carmelo (without even thinking on it), says he doesn't control Lebron & Carmello's ho's, and then talks about how he picks and chooses his "situations" when it comes to crazy groupies. That's good because we all know John is As Single As You Can Get! Is it basketball season yet?

LOL. More from the BET Red Carpet

Wall talks about being single at the BET Awards

David Aldridge Thinks Bradley Beal Is Too Nice

2014-07-18T00:58:00.001-04:00

David Aldridge was calling the Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat Summer League game on Thursday night and the NBA expert had a few interesting things to say about Bradley Beal's personality. The NBA analyst thinks that one of the issues with Beal's game is his personality. He is too nice...

While Beal is a nice guy, Aldridge thinks that Pierce will help the former Florida Gator develop an edge that is required in the league:

"I just think Paul Pierce is going to be so important for Bradley Beal, more so than any other player on that team."

Aldridge then spoke about Beal's personality and the personality needed to win in the NBA:

Adridge finished off his thought about Pierce pushing Beal over the superstar edge:

"And I think Paul will help Bradley Beal in that regard Because Paul knows what its like to be the best player in the biggest game, he was the Finals MVP, so I think he will be able to teach Bradley Beal, real confidence, bordering on arrogance, where you don't think anybody can deal with your game, and that will I think get Bradley Beal to an even higher level as an NBA player."

Beal also spoke about (Among Other Things) being excited to learn/develop some of that arrogance from Pierce when the two practice together this upcoming season.

Three Things Beal Said Last Night That Wizards Fans Will Want To Hear

Beal Wants To Learn Trash Talking From Paul Pierce And Other Nuggets

2014-07-18T00:19:00.004-04:00

Bradley Beal sat down with NBA TV during the broadcast of the Wizards Summer League "Playoff" game (lol) and talked about all sorts of Wizards stuff. There was a lot of the usual stuff, but Beal, who has been very quiet and quite honestly a pretty boring interview, opened up a little bit and showed some personality. Here are three key nuggets from the interview where Beal showed a little emotion and excitement.

1. Beal Is Looking Forward To Learn How To Trash Talk From Paul Pierce

When asked about Paul Pierce, Beal said he was excited for the offensive possibilities. The one thing that he really liked about Pierce is that the former Celtic is cocky and isn't afraid to talk trash. Beal even thinks he can learn a thing or two from Pierce about the art of talking smack on the court.

2. Beal Loves That All The Big Men Will Punch You In The Face

When asked about his bigs (Gortat, Nene, Humphries, Blair) Beal lit up. He said he was excited that every single one of them wasn't afraid to bang around inside and push other players around. Beal is specifically impressed with Gortat laying down the Polish Hammer (that is what I call Marcin's finishing move).

3. Coach K Stopped Beal From Further Injury Last Season

When asked about the 2013 Team USA Basketball mini-camp that Beal was invited to, Beal had a very somber tone. Unfortunately for Brad he was injured at the time and was unable to participate. Beal said he was so amped and upset that he was "doing things that I wasn't even supposed to be doing" aka risking injury. However, luckily for Wizards fans, Coach K put a stop to that and Beal was good to go in 2014.

DeJuan Blair Loves Whataburger, Fans Jone

2014-07-17T02:42:00.002-04:00

Our look back at DeJuan Blair continues...Back in 2011, DeJuan Blair was struggling as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. The big man was beefing up and losing playing time because of it. It got so bad that he lost his starting position to ... Antonio McDyess ... in 2011 .. yes that third 1 is not supposed to be a 0.

Blair decided that enough was enough and with an Andray Blatchian effort, DeJuan decided to get in shape and give up his favorite meal...

A Whataburger with a Strawberry Fanta. (San Antonio Express-News)

I think this (and the following quote from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette) immediately breaks Blair into the DC Fat Five (5 fattest athletes in DC Sports)

For the past few years joning on the former Spur and Maverick for Whataburger has become more Texas than the Cowboys. Here are some tweets from yesterday:

The Wizards Glen Rice Jr. was the top scorer during the regular session of Summer League dropping 22.7 points per game. Otto Porter also had a good start with 19 points per game.

So DeJuan Blair Is A Rapper...

2014-07-16T15:22:00.001-04:00

DeJuan Blair is now on the Washington Wizards, so it is time to dig up a bunch of old stuff about him that a lot of Wizards fans might not have known. Our first item is something surprisingly unsurprising from an NBA Player. Dejuan Blair is a rapper...

No...Seriously...Here is his single, "Special". (Be advised, there is an N word in there...oh and DeJuan is rapping as well so you may not want to click.) Watch at your own discretion.

During the video, Blair talks about his life as a baller. A life filled with cash money and "whips".

No word from Wale on when their collaboration is happening...

Paul Pierce Would Skip NBA Games To Play Poker

2014-07-14T18:48:00.000-04:00

Paul Pierce just finished participating in the 2014 World Series of Poker $10 Million Tournament in Las Vegas. Despite rocking his lucky Red Sox (booo!) hat and a baller Incredible Hulk Tee, the new Washington Wizards small forward was eliminated from contention.

Once Pierce was eliminated from the $10 Milli running, he agreed to sign with the Washington Wizards for...$10 million. But before his elimination he had a very interesting thing to say when asked what would happen if he made it to the final table.

The best part of this interview is that Pierce (jokingly?) says he will ask "coach" (he didn't have an actual team at the time) for time off if he makes it to the final table in November.

After his elimination, Pierce will luckily not have to see #WittmanFace since his final table situation is not happening.

Otto P4rter? Otto 4ter?

2014-07-14T16:53:00.002-04:00

With Martell Webster going to miss some time, it is nice to see there is another guy who can hit 4 point plays. Wizards Twitter is dying to put a 3 or a 4 in place of a vowel on somebody's name.

Paul Pierce Makes Soccer Players Look Tough

2014-07-14T09:53:00.002-04:00

With Paul Pierce now on the Wizards, we thought we'd take a look at some classic Paul Pierce moments.

Heres a clip from 2009 of newly acquired Wizards forward Paul Pierce. During a finals game in 2008 vs the Lakers, Pierce ran into his own player and crashed to the ground screaming in pain. He was carried off the court by his players and then placed in a wheelchair all the time looking like he just saw the end of Marley and Me. Miraculously, a few minutes later, Pierce returned 100 percent healed. Oh...I thought you were dead bro! Here's the NBA on TNT crew heckling Pierce Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.

I'm sorry, I'm not ready to all of a sudden like this guy quite yet...I'll come around...probably...

Bob Ryan Thinks Wizards Can Be #1 Contenders In The East

2014-07-10T19:14:00.002-04:00

Bob Ryan was filling in for Tony Kornheiser on ESPN's PTI show. Ryan had some interesting comments concerning the Washington Wizards. Ryan seems to think that if Lebron James leaves Miami that the Washington Wizards will all of a sudden take a big leap in the east. Here's what he had to say.

"Are you ready for this...the new favorite to win the East if Lebron vacates Miami...the WASHINGTON WIZARDS! That's who."

Wilbon responded as if he was a Wizards fan himself.

"That sentence has never been spoken on any show dealing with basketball..."

Lol. True.

2014-07-10T18:23:00.003-04:00

Marcin Gortat currently follows 236 people on Twitter. When you take a look at the list you will see the usual. A plethora of NBA related accounts, a bunch of Polish people, and lots of other athletes from different sports. However, there appears to be a large number of accounts from a little bit of a different style.

Take a look at this screenshot of some of the 240+ people that Marcin Gortat is following on Twitter. You will probably recognize the TNT team...but look above them.
