Washington Wizards Won the Lottery

The Washington Wizards just won the lottery. No not the D.C. lottery, but the NBA lottery. They had a 10.3% chance behind Philidelphia and New Jersey and their number came up.

This highlights a horrific season with owner Abe Polan passing away in November, Gilbert ArenasGilbert Arenas being suspended with 50 games left in the season and a final record of 26-56.

NHL Education Doesn't End With Caps Demise

I thought I’d be done talking about hockey and the NHL Playoffs by now.  I also thought I’d be done watching the NHL until next fall since the Washington Capitals saw their season come to a premature end last week at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens.  I guess I was wrong!
To be sure, I’ll spend a great deal of time and energy following the (hopefully) steady rise of the Washington Nationals in the coming weeks and months.  Like most baseball fans (and baseball was, after all, my first true love) I’ll keep a keen eye on the progress of Stephen Strasburg.  As a self-professed “convert” to the World’s Game, I will continue to chart the progress of DC United as they look to find themselves in these troubled times.  I will, as a matter of civic duty, obsess over everything related to the NFL with specific interest in a certain outfit in burgundy and gold.  The NBA, NASCAR, and Golf will take up considerable chunks of my television viewing time while tennis (the sport of my life) will never be far from my heart.
