Caps head for a game 7 vs Bruins

What a game it was today. Once again the Caps will keep DC on the edge of its seats for at least one more game. The game today was very encouraging except for the final result. The Capitals put up a huge fight and showed me that they really want this series. Pucks were hitting in the back of the net and guys were flying around on the ice.

A few key turnovers cost the Caps this game. Backstrom's turnover in over time was very costly and will be an even bigger turnover if the Caps do not prevail in game 7. The Caps will have their backs up against the wall on Wednesday night and must come out swinging to shut up the Boston faithful right out of the gates. Washington has all of the right pieces to get this win and move onto the next series. With a couple of lucky bounces added in, I feel that the Caps will come out with a huge victory, not only for the team, but for all of Washington DC. Buckle up DC sports fans it will be another close one in game 7...

Great to be a DC sports fan!

This is the first time in a while I can remeber being excited to be a sports fan. I was at Nationals Park yesterday and could feel and exciting vibe in the air that has been around this area in a while. I was standing at the Red Porch in center field watching the Nationals close out another victory, when all of a sudden a heard a huge roar from the fans behind me. The Red Porch was showing the Caps game on all 5 flat screens and the Caps had just scored the game winner to even the series with the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs! I don't know how long the feeling will last but it is awesome to have a first place baseball team and a hockey team that is playing quite well against the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Can't wait for another exciting game on Monday night C-A-P-S! Who knows how long the excitement will last with a guy like RGIII coming to the Redskins...

Washington Nationals to the Playoffs

Yes, thats right! I said it the Nationals will get one of the Wildcard spots and bring playoff baseball to the Washington DC area. Here is why I'm so high on the Nationals this year:

1. Pitching Staff - With Stephen Starsburg back from injury and the additions of Gio Gonzales and closer Brad Lidge, this staff is just as good as any team in the NL East.

2. Offense - I think right out of the gate the Nationals offensive production will be slow but once they get back Mike Morse and Bryce Harper gets called up from AAA you will see the production rise. I also think this is the year Jayson Werth shows the MLB why he is an All-Star. Keep an eye on Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa this year as well.

3. Expanded Playoff Spot - The MLB has added another Wildcard spot to the playoffs this year. Giving the Nationals an even better chance to make it in October.

RG3 sits down with John Gruden at Gruden QB camp. Takes him through his college highlights, asks him the tough questions and how he feels about how much the Redskins gave up to move up in the draft. See what RGIII says about being the number 1 draft pick. He continues to impress me about his smarts and athletic ability! T-Minus 24 days until RGIII becomes a Skin! RGIII and John Gruden

Final Four vs the NFL...

Has the NFL overtaken even March Madness? In recent weeks the NFL has had their own version of March Madness and has been the head story on almost every sports station. With the recent newsworth breaking stories from Peyton to RGIII to the Saints to Tim Teabow the NFL is becoming too powerful for any other sport. We are not even in the middle of the NFL season and it has command of all sporting fans. March Madness is supposed to be the craziest time of the year for all sports fans but it seems to me that it has taken a backseat to the NFL. Has money been lost from this years NCAA tournament due to the NFL? Check out some of these eye opening NCAA statistics.

I hope we are in for a thrilling Final Four this weekend. I will be watching, will you?

Rex Grossman going to be the Redskins Starter?

Not so fast! There is no way Grossman will be under center for the first game. If he is then Shanahan can pack his bag and book his flight out of town. The Redskins starting QB will be RGIII. The Colts have hinted that they are still in the process of deciding who they will take number one overall but my sources tell me that they are 99% for sure takiing Luck. See what outspoken Jim Irsay has to say on RGII or Andrew Luck.

Getting excited Skins fans! Rex Grossman will be #2 on the Depth chart and this organization final found a franchise quarterback for years to come, even if it is Andrew Luck...
