First of all, it was nice to meet Eddie C. at the Caps game on Saturday night (bonus points for recognizing me). I had a great time during and after the game taunting all the obnoxious Sabres fans. (I borrowed a line from my friend Jane at the end of the game, when some Sabres fans were leaving early: "Where are you going? The game isn't over yet!" It was great. They hated me.)
I'm not going to go into a whole lot about the Ovechkin hit right now, but I am writing about it for the Sports Journey blog, including some info from today's media conference call with Ovechkin and Crosby.
Watched some NFL yesterday and it was a kicker's day. I had to laugh when I watched Gramatica attempt the first field goal for the Cowboys- and miss. Yeah, he made the game winner (which is all that matters, I suppose) but how funny was that? You know Parcells was having a coronary. Similarly, I thought it was funny that Suisham missed one in the Redskins game- not that it would have made a difference. The 'Skins got off to that big start (and it was actually a really good start, with that huge pass by Campbell to Moss) and then blew it to Ron Mexico and his band of merry men. Then there were the winning FGs for Cleveland, Seattle, and Tennessee- especially Tennessee. A 60-yarder?!? Damn. Good thing Suisham, Gramatica, or Feely weren't taking the kick.

My brother was at the Titans/Colts game on Sunday. He said that it was thrilling to be there in person. I'd think the only better finish this year was Tampa Bay's Matt Bryant hitting the 62 yarder to beat Philly, since the Bucs would have lost had he missed, whereas the Titans would have gone to overtime.
