The first-ever bowl game in the Nation’s Capital. The Wake Forest University Demon Deacons take on the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy in the historic matchup. Kick off is 11:05 am. Gates open at 9:30 am.
Former Navy and NFL running back Napoleon McCallum and former Wake Forest standout and current Washington Wizard Darius Songaila will represent their respective teams as honorary captains during the inaugural coin toss.

Boxing At Howard University
DC's own female boxing promoter, Cassandra White, of Babie Girl Productions will host another boxing card this Saturday night, (12/20) at Howard University's Burr Gynasium.
The card will feature Horace "The Reason" Grant, Jesse Brinkley (season one fighter on The Contender). For the full lineup, visit www.babiegirlproduction.net.
Cassandra also featured a boxing event last year at Burr that saw the likes of Hector Camacho, Jr. You can see pics from that event here.
**(Any Given) Sunday**
Redskins Host Philadelphia Eagles at FedEx Field
I couldn't help but add this piece into this blog segment since Jamie Foxx is in town this week, and I finished watching one of my fav football movies, Any Given Sunday, in which Jamie had the role as the team's quarterback (al beit 3rd-string).
The movie even mentions recently departed former Redskin quarterback, Sammy Baugh.
Odd that the movie came out in the same month, December (1999) that Baugh passes, that Jamie visits DC, has a birthday, AND a new album release. (Another 'things that make you go - hmmmm!' moment)
I do hope the Redskins watch this movie before they play Philly on Sunday.
Here's a bit from the movie's ending song.

"Sacrifice, don't give up the fight. Everything will be alright - on any given Sunday.Watch the movie here | and here.
Depends on you whether you win or lose. You know you have to pay some dues - on any given Sunday.
When you win, well you'll thirst again. Wish that day would never end - on any given Sunday."
