We don't spend much time on puck-related stuff here at G:TB, so we're beyond remiss in celebrating DC's emerging Gheorghey superstar. Not only is Alex Ovechkin facially reminiscent of our hero, but he's got the goofy verve we live to celebrate. That, and he's freaking awesome at his job. Much like Gheorghe: The Legend. We're only months away from the first Ovechkin SportsCenter commercial. Or at least an Eastern Motors cameo.(h/t to The Big Lead for the photo, and the endearingly silly story about how Ovechkin stalked, er, met his girlfriend)
He really does look like Jaws from the Bond movies...
ReplyDeleteSo, when do we see "Ovechkin: The Blog" unveiled?
ReplyDeleteAnd if anybody watched the Wiz blow that game against the Knickerbockers last night, there was a classic Buckhantz moment while he was reading a Caps promo in the 4th quarter. When Buck finishes the promo, he starts killing time talking about Ovechkin being in attendance. On queue the camera spots Alex in the front row with his new girlfriend in the midst of the widest open-mouthed kiss since Jim Carey's Dumb and Dumber perfomance. Buckhantz let's out a bellowing, "Woah!". Like he just walked in on his daughter getting taken from behind by Kobe Bryant. I guess it's his "Dagger!" for the Kissy Cam.
ReplyDeletewe're taking a new approach to the tribe today - we're not mentioning their game on the main part of the site. they do play tonight at home against drexel in a must-win if they want any chance of capturing a first-round bye in the conference tourney. tune in here tomorrow for gnashing of teeth and wailing.
ReplyDeleteWell, as you all know, I think the world of Bruiser Flint and his coaching ability, so looks like a loss for the Tribe.
ReplyDeleteI like Drexel in this one--take and or give the points, as is appropriate.
ReplyDeleteYep...that oughta do it.
litos picked us to win. we're fucked.
ReplyDeletealso, we're rooting for jmu over odu, georgia state over wilmington, vcu over northeastern, and probably mason over delaware.
we don't give a flying fuck about the hofstra/towson melee. though one of them will probably beat us in the caa tourney.
tribe down 3 at the half. would it kill them do blow somebody out, just once?
ReplyDeletei'll give you 5 guesses at the number 3 golfer in the world. no cheating.
ReplyDeleteKudos Bruiser...kudos.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 golfer in the world? Um...Randy Barnes.
ReplyDeleteNo, no I was wrong. It's Bob Darnell.
ReplyDeleteNumber three golfer in the world is...Trevor Immelman?
ReplyDeleteI should have gotten that. Steve Stricker. Damn.
ReplyDeletei was stunned that it was stricker, and i follow golf reasonably closely. i knew he had a bounce-back 2007 and had a terrific finishing stretch, but i just don't think of him when i think of the world's elite.
ReplyDeleteSo, Duke lost to Miami last night...for the first time in 45 years.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I was watching some of Maryland/Va Tech, a kid puked right on the floor.
I remember a time when the kid who threw up on the floor would have been TJ. Alas, he's all growns up now.
