The Baltimore Bohemians Natty Boh mascot

(Photos by Steve Goodman.)
Whether or not you’re from Baltimore, a soccer fan or a supporter of the Baltimore Bohemians, I assume we can all agree that the first-year club has the greatest mascot costume in the history of organized sports, yes?
If you didn’t know, here’s a brief summary of the Bohemians:
The Baltimore Bohemians are a minor league soccer team that plays in the USL Premier Development League. Our inaugural season kicks off in May 2012. We play our home games at Cedar Lane Park in Bel Air. The goal for the Baltimore Bohemians is to gain exposure for the best young soccer talent in the Baltimore area and produce a competitive squad in the country’s top development league. National Bohemian serves as the team’s marquee sponsor.
By virtue of the team’s marquee sponsor having that marquee logo, the team also has one of the best looks in minor league soccer, if I could be so bold. The uniform, shown below, also manages to feature a crab. You can buy the gear here, and it’s awesome.
(The club also has a development agreement with D.C. United; the two teams are scheduled to play June 5 in Bel Air, and have agreed to cross-promote in each other’s markets.)

Morning pixels: Redskins still lose cap space
![]()
The Redskins and the Cowboys lost their dispute with the NFL over their salary caps reductions. What does it mean?
The Redskins lost $36 million in cap space over two years.
The Cowboys lost $10 million over two years.
The arbitration hearing came after 29 team owners voted against rescinding the restrictions (Tampa Bay abstained from the vote).
Monte Burke of Forbes thinks it’s bizarre, Dan Graziano of ESPNDallas.com thinks it’s unjust, but Rich Tandler says it’s “not a cap-tastophe.” (See what he did there?)
The Redskins can still file a lawsuit against the NFL, but said they “respect and will abide by the arbitrator’s decision to dismiss.”
Without having updated contract numbers, it looks like the Redskins will still have cap space available after the hit. The Cowboys will not.

Trent Williams swings golf club, falls over
A few weeks ago I came back from Brian Orakpo’s golf outing with stories, one of them about Trent Williams falling over after a particularly bad swing.
“At least you’re not risking injury like Trent did,” was Mike Shanahan’s comment to Orakpo at the time.
I knew Chris Wilson had video of the incident, and thanks to Lake Lewis of Sports Journey, we got Wilson to fork it over.
Here it is, including some of the other bad swings of the day.

Post Sports Live: Who should be the Nats closer, Redskins OTAs and the Caps’ offseason
LaVar Arrington, Dan Steinberg and Tarik El-Bashir joined Jonathan Forsythe on this week’s webcast to discuss who should be the Nats closer until Drew Storen returns from the DL, RGIII’s locker location (next to London Fletcher) and Mike Shanahan’s injury scare during OTAs, and Tarik broke down the Capitals offseason — who he thinks will be going and what holes the Caps will be looking to fill.

The upper deck at FedEx Field

These images are from draft night at FedEx Field, but i forgot to post them. What’s a month late among friends? We are friends, right?
Mike Jones reported last month that the Skins had received approval to “to remove 4,000 additional seats” from FedEx Field, making the new capacity around 79,000. Via Jones, “the team said in its application to the department that the seats were being removed to make room for the completion of an upper level party deck standing room area, and to renovate the stadium’s fifth-floor suite areas.”
If you compare these draft night photos to the ones from last Spring, you can see pretty clearly which seats were newly removed: the upper most rows, in the diagonal end zone sections.
