Henry "Henno" Emerson-----@henryemoson
Sup homie(s)
Teams: Washington Nationals, Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, Oakland Athletics, US Soccer, Fulham FC

Favorite Teams: Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals, Stanford Cardinal, Maryland Terrapins, DC Divas, NJIT Highlanders
Specializes in: NFL, NBA, MLB
Alex is a graduate of The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.  He was once widely considered to be the best athlete in his high school's history. Will shoot the basketball whenever he gets a rebound, so don't expect a pass. He is not a fan of country music, the BCS, cupcakes, or fair-weather fans. Has been said to look like Obama, Drake, and Chris Brown.



                   
------@anotherlaxbro
Favorite Teams: Indianapolis Colts, Washington Capitals, Washington Nationals, Bayern München FC, USMNT, but is really only a true fan of the Washington Wizards.  Harrison is currently a sophomore at the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond, with a Russian minor.  He splits his time between ripping top cheddah for the Mens Varsity Club Lax team and being a fratstar.  His writing is severely underdeveloped, so look for his posts to go on funny, irrelevant tangents that will culminate with the sharing of some fresh house music.  Has been said to look like Afrojack, Drake, and Alex's twin.


Brad "I'll take the bus not Uber" Gelfand------@gelfy44
Favorite Teams: Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Washington Nationals, Michigan Wolverines, Arsenal Football Club, USMNT. He is currently enrolled at the University of Michigan and is studying pre-health.  He lives for pickup basketball, a kosher hamburger, and back door cuts.  His idol: Larry Bird, Chris Mullin.  He resembles: John Stockton

 Scott "Nachyo" Ballen------@djshampoooo
Favorite teams: Baltimore Ravens, Washington Nationals, Northwestern Wildcats, Washington Capitals, Tampa Bay Rays, Georgetown Basketball, Virginia Tech Football
Scott is a freshman in the School of Communications at Northwestern University.  Four years ago, he beat Sam Mulroy in a swimming race that will be talked about for years to come.  Other accomplishments include being the 7th outfielder on a championship winning baseball team.  He is a fan of Tim Tebow, the greatest quarterback any of us have ever seen, Greg Oden's penis pics, Dejuan Blair not having ACL's, and country music.





Jake "The Jet" Genachowski (#15)-----@frogs10
Favorite Teams: Minnesota Vikings, Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Michigan Wolverines, and the now defunct New York Dragons.
There is only one word that truly describes Jake: Playmaker. 
He's a big fan of Taylor Swift, the dig route, and the way the metro smells. He often tells girls at the mall they're the one for him, but he usually doesn't plan on calling. Has been said to look like Austin Kearns, Chris Pratt and Ryan Long






Walter "Peanut Butter" Simmons
Favorite Teams: Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks (boycotting until Joe Johnson leaves), Georgia Bulldogs
Walter is a sophomore in the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University. He is thought to have played football at Cornell, but no one is really sure. As the only 100% African-American of the group, he is required to write most of his articles about racial topics relating to sports and the greatness of fried chicken(not necessarily having anything to do with sports).
Likes: Old-School Rap, Obey clothing, iPhone Apps, and FIFA12

Dislikes: Soulja Boy, obeying people other than himself, people who think BlackBerry's are actually cool, and people who message him after FIFA12 games saying that he got lucky when he just beat them by 3 goals. Pet peeve.


   Wiley "Aunt's Dinner Party"Marsteller ---@wileybm

Favorite Teams: Team Beesh, Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals, Georgetown Hoyas, Elon Phoenix, Virginia Cavaliers, Seleccion Uruguaya de Futbol, San Antonio Spurs. Wiley is a freshman at Elon University, and sings with their a cappella group Rip_Chord. He once skipped a JV basketball game to go to his aunt's dinner party, and has never heard the end of it. He is constantly overshadowed by his his twin brother Marstellar, and in turn overshadows his other twin, Maresteller.  He is a big fan of Lance Moore, Diego Forlan, Roger Federer, Tim Tebow, Nyjer Morgan and Roger Goodell. Has been said to resemble Michael Cera.
Bo "Da Boss" Malin-Mayor
Favorite Teams: Washington Redskins, Washington Capital, Washington Nationals, Washington Wizards, Virginia Cavaliers.
Bo is a freshman at Yale University, where he plays club soccer.  He knows far more about the NFL than about any other league, and is famous for winning his fantasy football league three consecutive years before being foiled in his quest for a four-peat. Sometimes called a sports hipster, he is frequently repulsed by over-hyped stories and players (unless they're really cool!).  The newest contributor to LBS.
