Start of a New Era: Say Hello to John Wall

I was really not expecting the Wizards on winning the draft lottery. I was thinking they get a 5th pick and get a Wesley Johnson and see the Wizards go back to where they were prior to getting the big 3. Nothingness. Now all of a sudden they get the next best thing in John Wall. I cannot believe it and with Ted Leonsis coming in as new owner there seems to be 2 good reasons to have faith in the Wizards in the future and to watch the team this upcoming season.

Our team was horrendous last year but we did get to see the blossoming of Andray Blatche who put up double-double numbers when he started. Although he was a prima donna last season he should be given another chance this season. Al Thornton is also another young player that can round out the young nucleus. Gilbert Arenas is nowhere near his almost MVP form when he was once the great Hibachi but maybe it is a blessing they did keep him. I'm not expecting much from him but we do need some sort of veteran in the team. After all we only have 6 players under contract.

Also I love this video. The John Wall dance craze in UK and the state of Kentucky.

Just a great 2 days of sports: Cavs lose, Pens lose, Nats win

Let's keep this short and sweet. Up is down and down is up. Four self explanatory events that lead to DC sports enlightenment. Almost as good as winning a championship, actually that's blasphemy but these 4 things will do for now:

1. Penguins lose in spectacular fashion to the 8th seed Canadiens 5-2. I hear that Halak guy is pretty fucking good eh?

2. Lebron gets owned by an over the hill Celtics team. Not as good as the Pens loss since the Caps wound is still fresh as day but satisfying nonetheless.

3. Nationals playing winning ball. Always a nice surprise.

4. Strasburg no hit performance in AAA clearly showing he's more than MLB ready. *Is super excited to see this guy pitch and will be praying he's in perfect health this season*

All in all a good DC sports day.
