Washington, D.C. (Sept. 27, 2012) - When George Bellows died at the age of 42 in 1925, he was hailed as one of the greatest artists America had yet produced.

(Sept. 26, 2012) - We start Week 6 of our Viva Loudoun high school football You Pick'Em contest.
The contest is simple, you pick the winner's of the local high school football games (complete the form below!) and if you win for the week ... If only Kate had been wearing her Viva Loudoun t-shirt while on vacation! ...
Each week we will keep your record and at the end of the year the top player will get $100 in their pocket and $100 given to their local Loudoun high school of choice (hey, our site is called Viva Loudoun ... not Viva Las Vegas ...). Runner-up gets $50 and third place gets $25.
How do we have these cash prizes to give out ... a little thing called telemarketing! ... just teasing ... it is because Gayle King of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty is our sponsor. If you see her ... THANK her!
Fine print: All employees of Viva Loudoun may play but have to turn over all winnings to the Fox ... Warning: winning this contest could put you in a tax bracket higher than Mitt Romney ... There is no truth to the rumor that President Obama bypassed meeting with world leaders this week to sit down for a chat on Viva Loudoun Live! ... (There endith the political jokes) ... WashPost reporter Matt Brooks has been reported missing. He wandered off despondent after learning that McDonald's would delay the fall launch of the McRib ... The LoCo Media Experts have a "Moe" on the panel, we are very nervous about adding anybody named Larry or Curly ... Now that Paul Tenorio of the WashPost is leaving for Florida we can report that for the last 4 years he had a sticker on his laptop that read: I (heart) Bulldogs ... We aren't saying that Tenorio and SB coach Mickey Thompson were close but Thompson called this week and asked if the "Fox" could bring the stuffing to Thanksgiving dinner this year ... When you think about it, why can't funnest be a word ... We are still awaiting royalties from Purcellville restaurants on coining the phrase "Sweet T" in honor of Woodgrove running back Josh Sweet ... Win or lose, you know that John Champe at the end of the day are always Champe's ... John Champe's initials (JC) should account for a little extra help on Hail Mary's ... If the NFL replacement officials return to small college football and the replacement officials there return to high school, then where in the heck will the current high school refs return to? ...

The LoCo Media Experts saw a big shake-up as Washington Post (for at least one more day!) reporter Paul Tenorio jumped to the top on his way out of town as he heads for a new job at the Orlando Sentinel. There was also movement at the bottom (OK, that sounded weird, didn't it ...) as Jason Rufner of Gameday Magazine (do you think he moonlights as Fetch?) vacated the basement and Dave Scarangella of Dulles District not only trails but we understand he is still stuck at Oatlands trying to leave the parking lot from Saturday's XC meet.
The LoCo Media Experts are playing not only for glory but the overall season winner will have $100 donated to their favorite charity!
And a super big shout out to the sponsor of our You Pick'Em Gayle King of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty ... her generous support allows us to fund the cash prizes! So give her a thumbs up the next time you see her at a local game!
