We’ve told you here before about one of the best blogs out there, the D.C. Sports Bog by Washington Post writer Dan Steinberg.

Yesterday Dan dropped a post called “Eight Outstanding Wizards Facts” that gives you a good look into the what their locker room is like. This was our favorite:

6) Caron Butler is no longer permitted to drink Mountain Dew. How much Mountain Dew did he used to drink, you’re wondering?

“A lot,” he said. “Before every game at Connecticut, I drank a two-liter of Mountain Dew. I’m dead serious. Ask my wife what she would have to go get me before a game. I’d be like, ‘Hey, stop by the 7-11, bring me a two-liter.’ ”

I had prefaced my Mountain Dew inquiry by saying I had a stupid question, but now the serious beat writers got interested. Two liters of oh-so-sweet highly caffeinated neon-yellow liquid hyperactivity, really?

“Yeah, I’d be wired,” Butler confirmed. “I’d drink half [before the game], and then I’d drink half at halftime. Because, you know, it shoots you up. And then there’s a down, and you’re flat-lining, and you’ve got to go back up again. That’s what I’ve been doing, but they don’t want me to drink it any more. They done took my Mountain Dew from me.”

And then this:

“Y’all think this is just a game; it’s dead serious,” he said. “I’ve got six refrigerators in the house. I used to have Mountain Dews filled in all of them. I don’t have A Mountain Dew in my refrigerator no more. It’s crazy, man. Pretty soon they’ll say I can’t chew my straws any more.”
