My Little Red Book

Tommy Jacomo: Runs the Palm; not likely to be taking calls from retired newspaper guys.

Dan Jenkins: One of the five greatest sportswriters of all time and father of Sally Jenkins, one of the 10 best sportswriters working today who does not appear on TV.

Sonny Jurgensen: No. 2 Redskins quarterback of all time.

Elissa Leibowitz-Poma: For nearly a decade, office manager of The Post sports department.

Stan Kasten: President of the Washington Nationals. Came to town in 2006 with a plan for the team's future he promises will work. But in my lifetime?

Aviva Kempner: Washington's prize-winning film documentarian whose latest project might be "The Decade of Tony and Mike."

David Kindred: Former columnist for The Post who in 1983 wrote this lead for the front page of the Feb.1, 1983 newspaper the day after the Redskins won their first Super Bowl:

"Dreamy, so dreamy, floating in a rosy jewel of a bowl at the foot of mountains caressed by clouds and snow, the Washington Redskins won the World Championship they last held 40 years ago. The Hog who wears the top hat and tails, John Riggins, made the earth tilt the Redskins' way as the chill of the night and defeat settled on Miami's Dolphins, 27-17."

Michael Kane, CPA, Bethesda: He had best come up large, or the chill of the night and defeat will settle on me this year.

Olie Kolzig: Goalie for the Washington Capitals who spent most of 16 seasons between the pipes for the team until being released in 2008. Had the longest career of any Capital. Now plays for Tampa Bay. The ultimate mensch, in my book.

Ted and Mark Lerner: Owners of the Washington Nationals, entrusted by this baseball-starved community to put a respectable team on the field and run a professional operation in a great ballpark built by the city.

Ted Leonsis: Owner of the Washington Caps who had a plan and stuck to it despite much criticism (from me) when the team sunk to the bottom after discarding high-paid veterans. He now sees the fruits of his patience. Also majority owner of the WNBA's Mystics.
