Welcome to DC, John Wall Part II

/just lost my breath watching McNabb, Fred Davis, Strasburg, Adam Dunn and Ovechkin all doing the John Wall dance.

DC Sports in 365 Days

No words to describe the disappointment of last night. This video summarizes it best.

Cleveland Sucks

I'm not a fan of Cleveland. Sure I haven't visited, but with their sports fans come annoyance. No one cares about The Ohio State getting killed in big college football games and no one will care about the Cavs once LeBron leaves for the Knicks. (or to the Wizards according to Miss Cleo). That said, the city itself never seemed appealing. Last night Joakim Noah shared the same opinion. Wait what? He said "Cleveland sucks."

Hmm this sounds awfully familiar to a comment I heard about 3 years ago now. Something like:

To tell the truth, I'm not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to. If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face, because I'm lying.

Oh right, that was Ichiro talking about Cleveland.


I know it's Lebron's hometown, but does he really want to stay? Really? Really? Really Lebron? The guy who loves New York and wants to be the first billionaire athlete. Enjoy it while it lasts, Clevelanders.

NBA Playoffs Mean More Charles Barkley

Spring time is here and sportswise, it's pretty much the best time of year. Baseball starts (then you can careless until September), March Madness, the NFL Draft and the NHL and NBA playoffs start. One thing I love about the NBA playoffs is the NBA on TNT with the best studio crew in all sports, the TNT crew with Ernie, Kenny and Sir Charles. They seem like they genuinely like each other and pretty much bust Charles' balls with jokes and photoshops. Last night, they gave Charles a shakeweight to work with. He looks confused what the hell this thing does.

Ovie and Backstrom Shooting Hoops

One is the two time MVP and the other becoming a top five center of the league. The both of them just completed a major comeback in Game 2 against Montreal with Ovie scoring 1 goal and 3 assists while Backstrom scored his first career hat trick and game winning OT goal. What do you do next to celebrate?

A) Party at regular DC hotspots like Russia House, Camelot, K Street

B) Eat a nice dinner and rest at home with friends?

C) Play some hoops on the Wizards practice court.

If you said C, you are correct. Here is Ovie and Backstrom shooting some hoops while waiting for their press conference. I guess they don't play much basketball in Sweden or Russia.
