Spring break is right around the corner, so it's time for a road trip. SportsCenter and Page 2 are going on location to Washington, D.C., all next week to explore the ins and outs of the sports scene in our nation's capital. We're even sending The Sports Guy to the Beltway, and there's room for you to ride shotgun.

With all apologies to Guy Pearce's new movie, we don't need any "Time Machine" to help us predict the future. Page 2 has noticed that several recent sporting events were forecasted by a warning sign. So, make like Miss Cleo and see if you can spot the eerie connections.

Going to the 'Brink' 10 Burning Questions
Bob Knight might be seeing red this weekend. Page 2 cartoonist Larry Johnson offers a preview of what might happen if the General happens to catch ESPN's "Season on the Brink" on Sunday, while the Sports Guy went on the set of the movie to get the lowdown.
Call it an episode of "Pardon Our 10 Burning Questions." ESPN's Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon hold nothing back on "Pardon the Interruption," and the opinionated duo certainly let fly when they mixed it up with Page 2.

PAGE 2'S ALL-BIZARRE INJURY TEAM
Giants star Jeff Kent broke his wrist while washing his truck last week, but that's not near enough to get him on the roster of Page 2's All-Bizarre Injury Team. Check out our lineup of baseball players who have been sidelined by bra straps, coyotes, chili juice, imaginary spiders and more.


As Page 2 turns its eyes to the nation's capital, we list the top 10 sports legends in the history of Washington, D.C. Even if you're not from the Beltway, you'll want to vote in our poll to crown Mr. Washington.

10]  Wes Unseld
The Hall of Fame big man led the Bullets to their only NBA title in 1978.
9]  Darrell Green
Entering his 20th NFL season, the speedy cornerback has become as much a fixture in D.C. as the Washington Monument.
8]   Walter Johnson
As the Big Train said of his own fastball, "You can't hit what you can't see," and nobody argued.
7]   John Riggins
The Diesel remains one of the most popular and entertaining athletes in D.C. history.
