With that, “Wall is the first player to record at least 47 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in a game since LeBron James recorded 51 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds on February […]
Thoughts after the NHL lockout
January 13, 2013
Over on BrooksLaichyear.com, I have a couple of posts about the NHL lockout now that it has finally come to an end. As a long time fan, this is the fourth NHL work stoppage I’ve sat through in the last two decades and the third lockout under league commissioner Gary Bettman. But I feel most for all […]
NASCAR should fine Clint Bowyer the way the NBA did Kobe Bryant for his slur
November 13, 2012
NASCAR is looking far from impressive for the way they’ve handled an incident that occurred over the weekend, when driver Clint Bowyer said that opponent Jeff Gordon’s actions on the track made them and their fellow racers “all look like a bunch of retards.” From sbnation.com’s Jeff Gluck: After speaking with NASCAR officials about his […]

Kevin Weekes says Caps now “the main team” in DC area sports scene
December 2, 2011
Speaking on the NHL Network about the Anaheim Ducks hiring of former Caps coach Bruce Boudreau, Kevin Weekes praised Boudreau for putting Caps “back on the radar” and said, “they’re now the main team back in the DC area in terms of the sports scene.” True? Do the Caps come ahead of the Skins as […]

Nats should leverage demand for a Teddy win to get something they need
June 2, 2011
It’s been almost exactly a year since I suggested the Washington Nationals should let Teddy win their Presidents Race on June 4, 2010, as a consolation prize to all the fans who’d bought tickets to that game thinking it might be Stephen Strasburg’s major league debut. But Teddy came up short in that race, leaving […]
