welcome to washington post live weekend. ahead. we'll look back at the raider's tough loss to the colts. where they are going next. and a look at the local teams. and cathy griffin gives us a take on tiger woods. you don't want to miss that. there was an exit out of the playoffs. we weighed in on what the ravens need to do to make it back to the big game in the top

headline. the win in new orleans, a lot of optimism then they went to played out the way i expected. they were not blown out. and could not produce the better team won. how do you wrap up the season if you look at it big-picture wise. >> theynded up where you thought -- they ended up where you thought they would be. they are fighting to get into a streak and roll but they got to the playoffs, won a road game, beat by the accounts the best team in the look long term this is a solid franchise, this he are in a transition as the offense is growing t is a young group. they need help with the wide receiver position they know that. over on defense i think that any help with the corner position if they all year.

and with respect to derek mason. clayton has not been that guy. they could not hurt anybody. >> that's right and your offense changes if you have a deep threat. ma that. of ll e team

had. you have a good nfl quarterback. it is never too early to handicapping your favorite basketball team. get insights before the madness starts. washington post live weekend returns. a brgen fi'm k, daug sch is awa

it is january you can feel the madness intensifying to the surprising cavs and this area is booming. and breaking down the area teams. you know hoops in the area you grew up around here. virginia is doing it and we'll see about maryland. this is hard to beat. >> no question. and i think they have a chance to make the tournament, that will make it happy. i owe it. >> and a couple with the terps

and to help themselves, they got cincinnati and wisconsin in the early season tournament and a lot to william and mary. it's not that bad. how do they shake it up. what do they do in conference play to catch it? >> in my opinion they have to win some games and more pornly, ivan, all of the teams that you mentioned, they were opportunities that maryland had to gain a quality win they could not convert them so at some point i'm a believer in my amateur, you know, bracket constructing that i do for the show, and at some point you have to beat other teams that are going to be in the tournament. if you can do them away from home that's more important. you have to be able to win on the road. none of the -- none of the tournament games will be in the comcast center. tough win from home and that's something that they have not proven they can do. >> you have an acc play and the

league is, you know maybe not as top, we don't have the stud team like in the past but good teams. speaking of maryland. coach williams. coach his 1000th game this weekend. is has it gone that fast. is that right? >> he is what 26 years old, right. maybe he started. he in unfortunate have started when he was 8. you know, and what gary williams has done at the university of maryland is nothing short of speaker-elect tack eye lar. if you go back to the circumstances that led to him getting the job. i talked about the len bias tragedy and the bob wade debacle it took a long time to restore glory to that program. not only resulting in a championship but the building of the comcast center. that's why i think that whatever occurred he has the right as close to tenure as you can can in the profession.

he is a great guy and coach, you never have to stay up worrying about the program and gary williams. they re-elect his personality. it is a program that they can be proud of. >> another program and. and they were not sure he has come in and a chance to check them out. i watched him. and what is interesting when i talked to other coaches. and. and playing washington and that's just a tough style to have to play against. and what they are gone with. and a style that is not and and now have you to go and content

with a team like virginia and run screens and defend and they have a player in land tisburg. one of the best players that nobody knows about, he is coming into his own where he is now, you know he put up the good numbers but now he is scoring in a way where he is making his teammates better and win. they had some losss there on conference but you know certainly to start off 3-0 in the acc, gave them a good feeling and vibe around the program and serve notice that it is automatic win when you play virginia. you have a deal with what they do before you can beat them. >> they play defense like his old and greend bay. it is amazing. let me ask you for the hoyas. the resume. we like it but it is not a lot of depth and now they're in and the schedule they are playing a

bunch of ranked teams. will they withstand that with their style of play. they are young they can play all night. can you get away with that rotation? >> let me tell you i think that, i've cran, depth in basketball has gone the way of the short shorts. there are not that many teams that have a lot of depth. you know what georgetown is a example of what that is the case. if they had maclin and rivers this he would have more and have veteran depth but they transferred. why? they were not featured in the offense. this he were never going to be. so that's -- >> and summers i don't think he was ready. but you know he i don't think he played that well last year. that's the way it goes. >> you know he didn't and him leaving and you know jessie sap. chemistry is a difficult thing. but sometimes you have a certain mess of personality that does not mix so well. you had some young guys last year that i think could

threaten for playing time. when you had the holder guys with turf to protect. that can go one of two ways. i think that you saw the way that it went. now they are gone and austin freeman and wright and clark, have been great for the team. they are able to step up in the primary roles. you can see they're thriving. and he was at one point tapped to be the aboutest in the class. he was so highly urgent is a. sought after they were nitpicking his game. people expect him to sort of dominate every possession. i said then he was the best player in the class. i say now he is a lottery pick talent. a great. great player. nobody in the big east wants to play georgetown now. they are very, very tough to deal with. next, on the verge of becoming a powerful plan in dc sports.

right here on this show we do a lot of sports, primarily sports, i don't know the humor that you get out of it. the tiger woods situation is begging for it. >> the tiger woods situation, are you kidding. for comedian that is like a christmas present with a bow on it. i cannot write this stuff it is so fantastic. i would like to announce i am one of this mistresses you know we have been sexing a lot and -- sex. iting he is being harbored in oprah's basement. there is some -- you know he could be in one of those dick cheney hiding under ground places, he knows somebody in

low places. we have not seen him. i want to see him the fat lip and the black eye,ky not help it i think it is funny this little blonde swedish chick beat the crap out of him. >> we know he is not near oprah. that's a black woman. >> that's right, that's not his gig although maybe if oprah had some plastic surgery he may reconsider. >> what else. >> or oprah was a cocktail waitress that helps or a stripper at scores. >> are you buying the idea that he needs to therapy? >> yes i think he needs therapy i'm going to give it to him. [ laughter ] >> i have several sessions i mapped it out and what happens we're having sex while he is writing checks out to me i want to get him. we're going to have that ambien sex that he enjoys. >> are you a sports fan? do you have teams you enjoy. were you a fan. >> a giants -- i'm a sports expert i love football.

i'm cheering for the buck areduces and the red eyes. they are going to have a strong season and -- i know nothing about sports. >> thanks for watching washington post live weekend. that was cathy griffin giving us her take on tiger woods among other things. after matters that affect your local sports and there was a tough deadline to reach an agreement to take over the wizards. >> will it happen and get this done. and what is going on. tomorrow is a day but they can extent the negotiations, ivan. they can go and get a appraisers each side. i don't think we'll see a deal this goes on. i think there they are a ways a

part they will get extended. >> and reach an agreement and if that does not happen and the two appraisers try to get a third he gets apprised. they try to agree on that. at what point will it go open market in terms and perhaps make an offer before, you know, before giving -- before that. >> and they think the side lincoln holdings holding group, they believe the contract says this is they're going to have the right of first refusal. and it extends into the appraisal process and quite a i ways for it. they're the only entity that the estate can negotiate with. i think that -- i'm not sure the other side is buying into

that and when that happens if the other side goes out into the market, after tomorrow or during the appraisal process to find, you know, buyers, they hired goldman sachs, they're not there for a transition. you hire them, one of the best investment banks if not the ghost go out and find buyers and get the price up. that will -- that's a good question. it has not come to that yet but the team is going out into the market. but i'm not sure when

gets handles, that's a big part of it. and it is out there and figure out how to deal with and it is probably a liability, he has not played in two years he play #-d 15 games in two years. >> and. >> 30 million a knee that's questionable. you have to wonder going into following as well. >> and stay tuned after the break and the finishing touches on washington post live
