It's a great time to be in Washington....

Yes, it is true. it is an amazing time to be in Washington right now. The Cherry blossoms have just come and left, there is a feeling of optimism in the air. The capitols have just won their series against the bruins against all odds. They are going into the second round of the playoffs after what was thought to be a dismal season. The Nationals are in LEAGUE Leading first place. Yes, they have the best record in baseball.
Not to be outdone, the Bullets (some call them the wizards for some god forsaken reason), have just reeled off 5 wins in a row. And low and behold the redskins have the second pick in the draft tonight. Good grief. It's like we are a 4 team sports town. Sports radio hasn't had this much to talk about for quite some time. God Bless DC!

Winner, Winner...Chicken Dinner

It was a hard fought battle to the very end of the Winner-Take-All Bracket Challenge (alpinebracketchallenge.com), but Brian was able to eek out the "W" thanks, in part, to a shrewd bit of Final Game Total Score Mastery pick of 115.  With the actual final score totaling 126, Brian was a 4-point play away from not walking out with the Big Prize Pack (Never Summer Assault Longboard, Under Armour fitted hat, Nike Sunglasses, Altamont Sweatshirt, 686 wicking shirt, Giro goggles, Grandoe gloves), but fortunately for him, some tough "D" and missed shots in the final minutes helped to secure his place as a Bracket Challenge Winner!

Look for him to defend his title next season!
