"Baltimore-Washington might have dropped to 17th in the Sporting News' annual survey of sports towns, but cheer up, folks," Washington Times Sports columnist Dan Daly wrote a few years ago.

Buckhantz on Michael: "He was a unique talent"

Steve Buckhantz was theoretically in competition with George Michael when both me ran local sportscasts, Buckhantz on Channel 5 and Michael on Channel 4. Buckhantz, though, said he never looked at it that way, partly because he was on at 10 while Michael was on at 11, and partly because...
