It’s inspiring to see an athlete in peak physical condition turn into one of us in just one weekend of nothing but beer and hot wings.

Ovechkin shows up 40lbs overweight. “Wait moment. I throw up.” He’s back in shape.

Is Ovechkin hammered? I’m pretty sure he’s immune to the intoxicating effects of alcohol, especially beer.

As a Flyers fan, I am finding this Capitals team more likable than I ever could have imagined. Ovi is having the time of his life and he deserves it. Good on him.

I think after the parade, none of us will ever see Ovechkin or the Cup again.

Not many teams in history have enjoyed their championship as much as the Capitals. Oshie buying Djoos a Djoos t-shirt off the back of a fan outside their practice arena is a classic. And, they gave the fan a replacement shirt.

Two things:

Its not just you, and I could see it being a problem, but since he is just being a drunken Russian bear and nobody seems to feel left out, I say we endorse it as good, and not bad.

Is it just me, or is Alex just kind of hogging it now? As the captain, you get to lift it first, on the ice, getting off the plane, at the parade, at the ceremony after the parade, and yes, at the many refreshment stands along the way, but then you pass it off to your teammates so they can do their dirty business too.

This is good. The “mystique” of the Triple Crown meant that was all anyone cared was whether or not a particular horse would get the Triple. Even before the Kentucky Derby all the commentators can talk about is who’s a contender to win the Belmont. Maybe now we’ll actually be able to talk about racing having every…

You’re looking at the box seats on TV during a triple crown event, thats pretty white. Those are owners or fancy folks dressing up for a big day at a televised race.
Thats not at all what you’ll see at the track on any other day. The interior betting rooms, the apron, the infield, the bars around the terrace. Go to…

Aqueduct on a random Saturday in February is the single most racially and linguistically diverse place I have ever been in my life.

Well, before ‘78, there was Seattle slew in ‘77, and before that it was the go-to horse Secretariat in ‘73.

You need to go to the track on a Tuesday. It ain’t fucking all white. One thing that will bind people together is being a degenerate gambler.

I did that route...1979 and 1988 seasons were the worse....

Nope...I am here all week....I know a few things about horse shit, given I have to clean the stalls right now. Now, listen closely, did you know that all thoroughbreds are descended from three different Arabians (horses, not people...geezus, what is wrong with you?). First there was the Godolphin Arabian....

I don’t know why, but I think there’s something so badass about the image of one clean horse and the rest covered, literally, in his dust.

“Gronkowski finished second”

Much as I respect the man, King has some serious problems with Deus Ex Machina in his work. A LOT of his endings are riddled with some variation of it.

That said, I will continue to go to bat for the ending to The Dead Zone. It’s a bit of a downer, but it’s also one of the rare King endings I’d say feels like a…

I have watched or might watch all of the above, but I have my limits...
