The Fifth Quarter: Saints

The Washington Redskins may not have played very well in 2006, but they certainly proved that they have a lot of heart yesterday against the Saints. With nothing left to play for but pride, the Redskins left it all on the field on Sunday. It wasn’t always pretty, but it was effective, and the team … Read more

Ovie… Oh My!

Oh to be young and full of talent. When Alex Ovechkin lined up against Sidney Crosby earlier this week, the hockey world looked on with mouths agape.

Sid the Kid

The Pittsburgh Panguins are on a bit of a roll – but Sidney Crosby is on fire. Last night in an 8-4 win over the Flyers, he put up six points to steal the league lead in scoring. I say steal because he started the evening in fifth place, but a six-point game will catapault … Read more

Caps Struggle Against the Ducks

Anaheim may have taken the ‘Mighty’ out of their name, but there was no better word to describe their play on Friday as they handed the Washington Capitals a 6-1 defeat. After impressive wins against the Buffalo Sabres last Saturday and the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday, the Caps couldn’t duplicate the effort against the NHL’s … Read more

Short Bus Journalism

I just wanted to take an opportunity to dispel a few myths in this whole ‘saga’ that the media has created about the B.Lloyd helmet toss.
