So, uh, it was a bit of a night in D.C.
No, I’m not talking about the State of the Union. Alex Smith? Don’t be silly. ESPN 980 changing their name to “The Team 980?” Absolutely not.

Can we get three cheers for the hot stove?
Here’s the scoop from somewhere in Virginia/North Carolina (where the Nationals’ truck probably is).
Jayson Werth, organic farmer and former Nat, attends State of the Union
More like State of the Onion, amiright?
