UP WITH THE CHERRIES!

Another great thing about Bournemouth:

I’m surprised she told you about that.

My wife, a lovely and thoughtful woman, purchased a very expensive Redskins jacket for my birthday a couple of years ago. What she hadn’t realized is I had abandoned this morally bankrupt team and cringed at the thought of wearing the fucking jacket in public. 

Coincidentally, she had also been imploring me to lose…

Thoughts and Prayers

With the victory, France has officially been eliminated from the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.

Not sure how a gray-haired and bearded mountain of a man can still conjure the spirit and look of the happiest kid in the world, but here we are.

The photo of Ovi and Nicky gets me every time. The entire team deserves this but damn, those two...I’m just overjoyed for them.

Grandpa is getting all the beer he can handle tonight!

So great to see this actually happen, especially without OT, without needing a Game 6, with goals from Ovechkin and DSP and Eller — that Eller goal was unbelievable as he found himself somehow behind Fleury and facing an open net and a puck just sitting there. The massive crowds in downtown DC. The handshake line is…

I’m in tears man. I went to my first NHL game in 1994 when I was six, and I loved it. The Capitals played the Penguins and beat them! I became a Caps fan ever since. I was 8 years old then, I had season tickets to the Caps from the 08-09 to the 12-13 (the lockout screwed us so we decided not to renew again). I have so…

My grandpa has had season tickets to the Caps since their inaugural season. 44 years of disappointment and he’s stuck with his Caps. He turned 80 last month and made it to game 4 despite his poor health. My first call after I got out of China Town tonight was to him. This cup is for you grandpa.

Steve Yzerman had expressions of relief as much as anything when the Wings won the first one. Many other captains have had similar reactions to that from what I’ve watched...and I’ve seen the conclusion of every NHL season since 1994. There’s been obviously a lot of joy and raw emotions.

I almost paced a hole in my floor, and then I cried with such relief and joy. ALL FUCKING CAPS!!!

(and for real, like it wasn’t dramatic enough without the clock issue? I was clutching my 15 year old in a panic haha)

What impressed me the most was watching Ovi hug every team member, every coach and every member of the training and equipment staff before he joined the hand shake line.

dude, really? crossfit doesn’t mean you gotta try to fit yourself up on a cross, ya know.

I am still afraid the Caps may lose game 4 and it’s been over for 20 minutes.

I mean, was anybody really getting that excited for Tampa-Vegas? At least this matchup has a generational talent that is known outside the sport to catch the casual viewer.

Are we allowed to celebrate, now, you piece of shit Wilbon?
