With our 2-0 men’s b-ball team looking like no mean shakes on the court, it’s worth checking out this video ESPN made prior to the season. It’s mainly an interview with JT III, who doesn’t say anything ground breaking, but the practice footage of the team was interesting, especially for those of us who follow the team but don’t really know anything about basketball (that’s what I have a sports editor for—what’s a pick, again?).

Keifer Sutherland, in town last week to film 24, told the Washington Examiner’s gossip wretches that filming in DC is hard because of government interference:

“I like Washington a lot,” Sutherland told us. “But it’s really hard to film here when you have 36 different law agencies who all have jurisdiction over the same corner.”

Just as our cover story about movie making in Washington and our editorial on the same predicted.
