Oustanding Ovi quote in the post today

WashPo wrote:“Yeah, like, we went to the bar. I got home at 7 in the morning. I get hammered,” Ovechkin deadpanned. “That’s kind of Russian celebration.”

What a strange stat to highlight from last night.
"Orioles win 100th straight when leading after seven innings"

Nike is in a 6-month exclusive negotiation period with Nike for uniforms but the rumor is Warrior (Lacrosse company then Hockey company then Liverpool shirt sponsor--and a few other teams) is on the hunt. Warrior was bought by New Balance a few years back. Warrior was founded in 1992 when Princeton ...

I did not know the whistle was dead. I am also not sure what foul to call. A USC would seem reasonable, but probably not getting that call at High School Varsity, let alone an NHL game....but lets say he hits the ice awkward and hurts himself or tangles up his leg and hurts his knee. Seemed cheap to...

So the linesman comes into frame right at the end of that and no foul was called (from what I can tell from the box score).

So this morning as I walked down K-street in DC I noticed something new. Across the street from my office used to be this salad joint called "Eco-Green". Organic and super healthy menu. It did not have much variety and price point was off so it only was open 4 months or so (But the Chop't ...

US Under 17s are playing in Panama for the Concacaf U-17 tourney. Beat Haiti 3-0 and then yesterday 1-0 over Guatemala. Face Honduras in the Quarterfinals on Sunday (Fox Soccer). Winner goes to the Middle East (4 teams from Concacaf qualify) for the U-17 World Cup. Hondurus 3 - USA 1..no U-17 WC fo...

A 1-0 win today vaults the Pool into 12th place, at least according to the Live Table. Still only 5 points about relegation, but with 4 games to go and a bunch of teams below them, I'm hoping they are ok. Maybe on 5 points above relegation but only 9 points (and 5 on the GD) from 6th place and the ...

Jozy had 3 goals in 9 minutes this weekend (2 were PKs & it was a 6-0 drubbing). 21 goals in 29 league games, 28 goals in 36 games total. Still pretty impressive

Another draw on the road against a Playoff team. Pool starting to find form again, but way too late. That being said, I track Boro also as there is a co-worker who supports them. 4 points separate them (Pool in 17th and boro in 9th). The middle of the table is packed and Boro's +2 GD can make them p...

Is your 2nd argument right? "B:I". Don't you need that to be B2:B13 or something like that? The other common vlookup problem is a space character hidden. I frequently have to use "trim()" in formulas when pulling in external data to make sure I get rid of the leading and trailing...

Stop the presses....Rex Grossman is off the market and will continue on with Washington.

So the Caps are buyers at the Trade Deadline? WTF? Give up top prospect Filip Foresberg for Martin Erat and Latta. 4.5 Million/year on Erat with 2 years left. I know he is having a decent season but you are not playing Cup level hockey and are giving up youth for now and have a tight cap next year.
