Over the course of time, I'll add and/or remove features from this site to keep things interesting.  I recently (as in yesterday) signed up for Twitter.  I got inspired about reading various Twitter feeds from the Democratic Convention and thought it would be a great way to do "live" reports from various events.  I have Redskins season tickets, probably Terps Men's Basketball, and some Nationals Games left.  Plus in this great city, we'll have the Presidential Inaguration in January.  On non-event days, I'll post random thoughts or minor events as they occur.

So follow me on http://twitter.com/bigmoneytony.

No, not me.  Those of you in the DC area and some elsewhere, know that Tony Kornheiser, one-time Washington Post columnist, current PTI "Host" (when he's not on 3 month vacations), and part of the 3 man Monday Night Football booth also held another day job, as a radio host.  At least during football off-season.

Yesterday, 3WT Radio, which was for about a year, Washington Post Radio, was essentially shut down and it's signals will be used to increase geographical coverage of WTOP, the DC area's full-time news radio, and Federal News Radio, a sister station covering the Federal government and the employees of those agencies.

What the shutdown of 3WT Radio means is that TK no longer has an outlet for radio.  His show was probably the highlight of station, save those who really dig Nationals baseball on the radio.  Bonneville, the company that owns the signals for 3WT Radio, announced that that TK would not be returning next Spring, even though I think he still had a year left on his contract.

So after taking early retirement from the Post, Mr. Tony is left with MNF and PTI.  The only real radio game in town that Kornheiser would fit on is ESPN 980.  However as a nationally recognized commentator, he might be able to swing a Sirius-XM radio show.

Wow. What a great day Saturday was. The only thing that would have been better is to see it in person. How I regret that. I don't think there will be another day where two of the greatest Redskins ever get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In addition to Washington's own Darrell Green and Art Monk, Emitt Thomas, Andre Tippett, Gary Zimmerman, and Fred Dean were enshrined.
