New Queen in town

Topic A (since it just happened) is the new owner of the Mystics, Dr Sheila Johnson, former wife of Bobcats owner and BET founder Bob Johnson. Tk gives us some backstory between Abe and Bob Johnson. Tk also equates the Mystics' "attendance banners" with Cub Scout badges. And the WNBA is a loss leader for the league, so who really cares.

More about the "friction" between TK and Mike Wise, talking about Mike bringing a Darth Vader mask to Full Court Press last week.

And tonight is the Lottery. For once, it flew under the radar in DC.

revenge of the Chimps

Even though it came late in the show, today's top story was the long piece in the Post about everyone's favorite chimp, Moe, his dopey "parents" and how they were mauled by Ollie and Mollie a couple months ago.

-- Rachel Nichols -- from Miami -- NBA talk and fashion tips
-- Josh Peters from NO Times-Picayune -- pimping his book on the rodeo circuit
-- Sam Smith -- from Phoenix -- NBA talk and Wilbon's distain for dry heat
-- Old Guy Radio -- Robert Zimmerman from Hibbing MN

Also talk about the (bogus?) Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes relationship and the infamous "1/2 +" rules for dating younger men/women.

guys from the U

The segment starts with discussion about TK's column today, about nominally all the NFL players from Miami and their behavior.

Jim O'Brien out in Philly. Mo Cheeks finally comes home.

they will the Post's sports editor on tomorrow to talk about O's coverage in the Post. TK again doesn't get the venom from the Anti-O's (anti-Angelos) factions.

playing the race card

Andy trumpets taking the metro to the Nats game this afternoon.

We veer off sports to talk about Larry King's testimony being disallowed in the michael jackson trail. write your own jokes.

Back to sports, Billy Hunter playing the race card in the NBA negotiations. Wilbon doesn't like Hunter, since he apparently called Wilbon "an Uncle Tom" in reference to an 'anti-player' column a few years ago.

Nats Notes

Tk spends segment one discussing the Nats game last night, which he gleefully pointed he wanted on his cable system while andy polley could not.

-- Andy Beyer -- Preakness picks -- Greeley's Galaxy is Andy's choice.

Tony Gloats, Andy Weeps

TK was shocked to come home last night to find out that RCN (formerly STAR*POWER), his cable provider, had come to a deal with the Nats and games would be on his cable, starting LSAT NIGHT. This led to a show-long debate about eh monopolies of local cable companies and the like.

-- Bob Ryan -- NBA talk -- more complaining about timeslots for good games
-- Stephen Hunter -- Thumbs up for STAR WARS, for the action not the acting
-- Junior -- tennis talk and we learn Junior is sort of a Trekkie

TK also went to a Smithsonian event last night, (put on by childhood friend Brent Glass) honoring Salsa Music and Celia Cruz.

OH yeah, Listen Up was also cancelled. Don't cry too much for TK. He'll finally be able to wear his staff jacket.

Mr Dixon goes to Congress

Talk about Juan Dixon being one of the NBA players called to testify before Congress. It must be because he's local. Why else?

Speaking of steroids, what about Bud's claim to go along with the 2-year steroid ban? TK says that Fehr and Orza (who hi-jacked baseball) are fighting a losing battle on this one.

and the Ollympics? Plenty of cheating....

Journalism 101

TK begins by talking about how Cheryl Ladd was a potential guest (pimping her new golf book) and how TK only wanted her on if she would talk about famous people with whom she had slept. Then, a radical topic change to discuss the Newsweek stuff and their apology/retraction of the Guantanamo Bay/Koran story.
Howard Kurtz -- Newsweek flap and more on Mitch Albom
Leonard Shapiro -- Jack, Tiger and Annika
Sam Smith -- NBA's stupid scheduling
Darius Rucker -- Satchmo and Hootie set a golfing date

au revior, les boulez

Topic #1 of the day was the Wizards' exit from the playoffs. TK wondered (in print and here) if they are the road to success or a one-hit wonder, like the Capitals when they went to the Stanley Cup finals.

** Ron Sirek, Golf World -- Tiger streak and Sean O'Hare
** Wilbon on Wizards and NBA playoffs

Other topics -- Dave Chappelle, Tony's HD set and other wackiness...

Wizards -- progress or 1-hit wonder?

TK again talks about his column today. La Sooz was not happy with his pessimistic projection for the team.

Brief talk on Nicklaus' "latest" final retirement from tournament golf after St Andrews. TK thinks he's still the greatest and Tiger won't be unless he eclipses Jack's win total.

Game 3 at MCI -- TK Sighting?

Will TK make an apperance at MCI tonight? Maybe, since TK has other plans before the game. That would be the Cornell Football something or other. Like other people say, "who would have expected the Wizards to still be playing?"

Still a great season, that most people didn't expect to happen.

Tk thinks the Wiz will win tonight, shockingly.

However, the Curse of Les Boulez is not over. It's not over until Tk says it's over.

-- David Aldridge
-- Randy Galloway
-- Jeremy Schapp (plugging his new book)

Betting stories

TK tells a story (based on an email about some guy betting on Giacomo) about getting in a big bet at Belmont done by Andy Beyer.

Wilbon willfully killed hmself on PTI about his Kwame flip flop. TK still thinks that Wizards mgt should have to answer questions about the situation.

Brief talk about Shamiqua and her return to DC.

And, finally, the Whizzinator.
