Ricky Dobbs and Navy football team worthy of salute

Dobbs, who has led Navy to a superb 8-3 season, was asked this week to name two teammates who don't get as much credit as they deserve. This, of course, is irony, because no Naval Academy athlete ever gets as much credit as is deserved. The 6-foot-1, 19 ...

Prospects for Nats look favorable

Unless you're the Yankees and can buy titles, the core of any baseball franchise is not its starting rotation or batting order. Over time, you are your organization. Before spring training, the Nats probably will sign two free agent starting pitchers ...

What the Redskins' Snyder could learn from the Yankees' Steinbrenner

About eight New York Yankees, leaping over their dugout railing and pouring onto the field, almost beat the last throw of the World Series to first base. Score the final Phillies out 4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 with nine Yankees playing first base. So ...
