Friday fluff

This week I saw that someone in ESTONIA discovered my blog because of the following Google search:
"michael vick sucks"

Always happy to help, Estonia.

I'm going to three games this weekend:
#24 Rutgers vs. Navy, Thrashers vs. Caps, and Fire vs. DC United. Out of these, which do you think will be the best game? I say the Navy game, especially since it's homecoming (I think they can beat Rutgers, since Rutgers has had an easy schedule and should not even be ranked), but the DC United game is a close second. I hope DCU can play like their early-season selves, because they'll need it if they want to beat the Fire. For some reason, they do not do well against Chicago, which is unfortunate.

I thought the Caps did well against Minnesota last night, even though they lost in a shootout. Brent Johnson was stellar and did not look like a backup goalie at all. I'm so glad they were able to bring him back this season; he's one of my favorites. Congrats to Semin, who scored goal #5 (in 3 games!). The Caps are still doing better than winless Stanley Cup champs Carolina. Ha!

Fred called me today all distressed that former Cap Glen Metropolit is now playing for Atlanta. Frankly, I was surprised that Metro is still playing hockey, but I always liked him. So it will suck to have to cheer against him and his team tomorrow night. Every once in a great while I still see a Caps Metropolit jersey in the arena and it brings me back to Metro's days with the team.

Sarah of Sarah and the Goon Squad did a post on BlogHer about the whole women's jersey debate. I liked it (and not just because she mentioned me twice). It's encouraging to see what other women are saying- most do not like the damn pink jerseys. They're fugly and patronizing, I tell ya!

After reading The Sports Guy's article today in which he mentioned the Nike Briscoe High Football commercial, I wrote him asking whether I'm the only one who finds it hilariously fitting that Briscoe High relied on LaDainian Tomlinson to throw the game winning TD pass instead of Vick. Because seriously, Vick throws an INT or throws it 20 yards over the receiver's head.

So the Caps game doesn't even make your top two even though you have free lower level tickets??
Hmmm... it sounds like you'll have to owe me one! (You know what I want!!) :)

So Vick can't even beat a high school team and they rely on a trick play to win in the last seconds despite a stacked team?

:P

This whole Vick thing upsets me because the Falcons already beat the crap out of the Bucs once this year.

I posted something similar about the pink jerseys on my blog. I linked to you, hope you don't mind.
