This Commercial Brings All the Christmas Joy
This may be my favorite Christmas commercial. I smile every time it comes on. It serves as a remind that it doesn’t necessarily matter how expensive or elaborate you gift is, so long as you deliver it right on target.
Bruce Boudreau is a Stylish, Stylish Man
Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau comes off as a bit of a working-class schmo, but he does clean up pretty well. Dig the very fashionable grey suit/light grey shirt/pink patterned tie combo he sported during his team’s overtime win tonight (excellent game recap here) I definitely want a tie like that. Definitely. The man looks [...]
DC Isn’t a Hockey Town, But The Way Things are Going It Will Be…and Soon.
The more I see from the Washington Capitals organization, the more I believe that every sports franchise should send its top dogs to Ted Leonsis to learn his ways.

Sometimes, though, something happens on the ice that defies my ability [...]
Who Wouldn’t Love the Jedi Council on the Ice?
If you’ve been a sports fan for any time at all, you know that nicknames are important. They help fans identify with players more closely, especially if the fans created the nickname and the player embraces it (Are you listening, Mike Knuble? “Obi-Wan” is yours, man. Just claim it!). The best nicknames, though, are the [...]
This is Why He is Alexander the Great
Is Alexander Ovechkin the best player in all of hockey? Well, you tell me. Count the amazing moves. There are four of them.
