Happy for you, Varun, and hope it means somebody has recognized and is rewarding your talent and hard work. But sad because you have been a great companion for us loyal Wizards fans on our long journey with our crappy team.

Proud, definitely proud

Odd Lots and Uncanny Valley are two of my favorite podcasts, so looking forward to listening!

Agree. Even as a very young player with the Wizards, Avdija could drive and hold his own around the basket. Unless Bub improves a lot in the future, Portland got the better end of this trade.

Awesome that you are wearing your PFDs!

Congresswoman, I am so grateful for your amazing service to our city for so many years. But it’s time for you to step aside and let somebody else do your job.

I saw (with a driver) in Woodley Park today.

I also recommend @byvarunshankar.bsky.social , the awesome Wizards reporter for the Washington Post

Thanks for your great work this year, Varun. Your writing has been a bright spot for a Wizards fan (me) who has to admit that some of the games were pretty hard to watch this year. But there have also been some moments where I feel great about all of these young players and their amazing potential.

New dog? Talk about burying the lede….congratulations! What’s the dog’s name?

@byvarunshankar.bsky.social is the Washington Post’s really good Wizards beat reporter. Super cool he is here on BlueSky

I’m not going to deny they are a bad team right now, but they have a lot of young talented players who might surprise you on a given night. Give them a chance. And even if the game you see isn’t Cleveland-OKC caliber, it’s just still a lot of fun to be at an NBA game.

Thanks for this update. And nice use of the word “putrid” in your article today. I am a Wizards fan, but, come on, it accurately describes their play over the past few games.

Can’t wait to listen to it. I recently gave this series a shout out on LI:
