Why the Sox don’t Suck!

Posted on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 by russellmania

Washington, DC — The Boston Red Sox took their traveling road show to the Nation’s Capital on a somber Tuesday fueled with sympathy and disbelief over what happened on the DC metro  system Monday.
While it might not be appropriate to heap praise or hurl criticism so soon after a terrible tragedy, that’s what we do [...]

Baltimore, MD - May 29, 2009
The fireworks display at Camden Yards on Friday night was just fine. Nothing you haven’t seen before, but hey –  colorful explosives set off by trained professionals always make for a good show.
The good thing for Orioles fans as the fireworks where they count, really have just begin. FINALLY. 
It’s been [...]

Pens Pen a Masterpiece

Washington D.C. - May 13, 2009
It was one of the most anticipated series of all-time.  Not just in the NHL, but in professional sports.  It was one of the most hyped Game 7’s, as hyped as any NHL game is ever going to be. 
It just did not live up to the billing.  Rarely does, and [...]

Washington DC - May 9, 2009
The Pittsburgh Penguins took a three game to two series lead at Verizon Center in Washington DC tonight in stunning and controversial fashion.  In a series that has had it all from dueling hatricks, to accusations of Alex Ovechkin targeting Russian players for injuries, to a death threat against Ovechkin [...]

NHL Finally gets a break!

Posted on Monday, May 4th, 2009 by russellmania

Washington, DC — Monday May 4, 2009
The National Hockey League knew it would be a showcase of the stars. They were hoping it would be a series for the ages.
A series that might get FIVE PERCENT of the hype that the Celtics-Bulls series recieved in the NBA.  You remember that series that was played to [...]

Just The Start!

Washington, DC - May 2, 2009
One period is all it took to show just how amazing the talent and skills of the mega superstars are, in the Washington Capitals-Pittsburgh Penguins series are.
However, one period was simply not enough. We thirsted for more, and good god did we ever get it.
I guarantee you no matter how [...]

Simply the Best!

Posted on Thursday, April 30th, 2009 by chrisrussell

His name does not have the cache or ring to it that George Steinbrenner has.  He is completely the opposite of Al Davis, to say that he actually is in touch with the reality of his sport.  He is far from Jerry Jones, he actually allows his team to be run with a real general [...]

Give the Rangers-Caps a chance and you won’t be mad!

Posted on Saturday, April 25th, 2009 by chrisrussell

What a shame that so many Americans have not fallen in love with the NHL in massive quantities, like we do for the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball.
Your missing something breathtaking.  You are denying yourself something that is like a forbidden fruit. It’s like the big Christmas present under the tree. It’s an unknown [...]

Everything but the Final Four

Posted on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 by chrisrussell

As you may know by now, and I do not make any attempt to hide it — me and college hoops are not a good mix. 
 
For the record, I thought UCONN would be cutting down the nets on Monday night, to “One Shining Moment” on CBS – which for my money – is the [...]

“Take your Elite 8, I have the Great 8”

Posted on Saturday, March 28th, 2009 by chrisrussell

Once again this weekend, America is captivated by the Elite 8. Have fun, enjoy yourself and I hope you don’t lose any money gambling your savings away on 19 and 20-year old young men.

I also hope you don’t fall asleep, between all the whistles and stoppages in play. I’ll have some of the games [...]
