Not quite on the scale of “the demons have been exercised” but every long suffering @Capitals fan knows these days don’t come around often. They took the hard route for sure, but came thru and now they’ll get a shot at the big bad Prez Trophy winners. Playoff hockey is the best!

Riddle me this: I’m sure the time is dictated by TV, but what other major sporting event is played on a Sunday afternoon instead of prime time?

Gotta love it when tonight’s @Barons_Bball is canceled because @MCPS can’t figure out how to raise a basket that is stuck. Anyone got a sawzall for us to borrow?

Hoping that when they fix the hoop, perhaps they will put LED bulbs in the region’s darkest gym and maybe fix the speaker so that there is less cackle than voice in announcements.

Congratulations to Week 3 @MilitaryBowl DC Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week, Urbana senior @KeeganJ2023. He competed 10 of 13 passes for 249 yards and 5 TDs, all in the first half.
As our kids look forward to yet another half day this week, a random idea: what about a half day that starts later (instead of finishing earlier) so the kids can sleep late?
Just read this story. Surprised it doesn’t mention the safety concerns of having 19- and even 20-year-olds potentially playing 14- and 15-year-olds, unless there was an age restriction that isn’t mentioned?

They had split world championship finals, with Snyder winning in 2017 and Sadulaev in 2018. The buildup for Saturday's final was considereable. While Snyder was the aggressor, he fell behind and was unable to catch up @mymcmedia: mymcmedia.org/in-wrestling-s…
You could sense the tension throughout the 97kg freestyle wrestling gold medal match, but @OLGCHS @Snyder_man45 could not pull out the victory, dropping a 6-3 decision to Russian Abdulrashid Sadulaev in a highly-anticipated match @mymcmedia

Tough to be better than @Snyder_man45 has been so far in Tokyo. He beat Turkey’s Suleyman Karadeniz 5-0 in the 97kg semis and will wrestle for his second consecutive Olympic gold! @mymcmedia @gcfootball @OLGCHS
And wrestler @Snyder_man45 is into the semis in Tokyo. Another dominant win, beating Italy’s Abraham de Jesus Conyedo Ruano, 6-0 in the 97kg quarterfinals. Two wins away from defending his gold medal. @mymcmedia
