Double Teamed: The enigma of JaVale McGee

The team needs to decide whether to make a big bet this summer when JaVale McGee becomes a restricted free agent. I, for one, hope that Leonsis doesn’t hesitate to re-up McGee.

Carrying On: A pirate’s life for me

In the war against online copyright infringement, the Stop Online Piracy Act—better known as the reason you couldn’t use Wikipedia two weeks ago—represents something in between a scorched earth policy and the Death Star’s destruction of Alderaan in Star Wars. The problem with the bill is that its definition of piracy is so general, and its enforcement mechanisms so extreme, that it could require the shutdown of large swaths of the Internet (including pretty much any site with user-generated content).

Hoyas dominate UConn at packed Verizon Center

All season, the Georgetown men’s basketball team has stressed the need to play a game with a full 40 minutes of consistent effort. The Hoyas got close on Wednesday, but even 37 minutes or so was more than enough for a double-digit victory.
