* Matt Bradley wears a customized D.C. United jersey, and Ted Leonsis films a United promo. (@paulrovnak, DCU.com)
In other news....
* SI ranks Wizards eighth in the NBA. This is getting kind of ridiculous. (Bullets Forever)
* "What I learned from Barry Farms: Kevin Durant bolting OKC for DC in 2012 is the new LeBron bolting Cleveland for NYC in 2010. Mark it down." (@danshanoff)
* Livan Hernandez gets sued by someone who claims to be his former personal driver. (TMZ)

That video made my day, Dan. How come you buried it at the bottom of a roundup - should've been its own post!

Chick Hernandez: "It's hard to talk when you have two testicles at the back of your throat." How does he know the Georgetown Prep motto?
