Here are the words of Matt himself:

It can be anything: how you learned who won the World Series, watching the Super Bowl at 3 a.m., playing soccer with Iraqi kids -- whatever sports memory that has stuck with you through the years. Tell us how you felt, what the atmosphere was like, why it mattered to you.

SB Nation's List Of Worst Sports Slogans Includes 'Get Your Red On,' 'Back To Basics'

Over at the main SB Nation site, Jon Bois is taking a disturbingly in-depth look at the worst slogans in each sport. Here's a link to his NBA piece, and a link to his MLB piece.

As you may or may not know, Washington's sports teams have had some real doozies for slogans over the past five years or so, so it was only natural that some of them would attract Jon's notice. After the jump, we'll give you the five for D.C. teams that stood out.

Anybody Want To Buy Karl Alzner's Bowflex?

As you may or may not have noticed, we don't have a classified ad section here on SB Nation DC. But that doesn't mean we don't try to help good people out.

These two tweets came from Alzner on Monday afternoon.

Rob Dibble Acts A Fool, Part MCXVIII

Hey, remember when Rob Dibble worked color on Washington Nationals TV broadcasts? That was a hoot and a holler, wasn't it? Of course, then he got fired for belittling the injured staff ace soon after he made grossly sexist comments. And everyone was all, like, man, what did we ever see in that guy in the first place?

Unfortunately, Fox Sports Radio still sees fit to give this man a platform, which has led to people actually paying some attention to what he says. So we get stuff like this tweet after the Hamels/Harper plunking incident.

Maybe Rizzo and Boras should've thought of this before Letting Harper go to last years MLB AllStar game and walk through the lockeroom?
