Morning cup-a-joe (1/9/07)

9 January, 2007

Fresh proof that there are slices of Heaven on Earth: if you’re an Ontario resident and hockey fan, you have access to LeafsTV, a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, 365-days-a-year broadcast outlet covering the local NHL team and its sport. No Argonauts. No Blue Jays. No Raptors. All Leafs, All the Time. Imagine. Don’t take my word for [...]

Morning cup-a-joe (1/3/07)

3 January, 2007

Not yet 100 hours into the Redskin offseason, the region’s television sports personalities could reasonably be expected back at Ashburn yesterday, camera crews in tow, chronicling the football equipment staff’s changing of player cleats — March mini-camp is less than three months away, after all. But one figure of courageous defiance, emboldened perhaps by a [...]

The Examiner Agrees with OFB

2 January, 2007

Seven-time Emmy Award-winning TV producer, director and writer for The Examiner Jim Williams must have read our blog on 13 October, 2006 where pucksandbooks wrote “… there is already in place a fantastic replacement within the WRC family, whom if it were left to me would acquire as well the title of Regional Queen of [...]

On Frozen Ombudsman for the Week of November 17

17 November, 2006

The week commenced catastrophically: on an ad hoc assignment to cover the Caps, WaPost’s Amy Shipley, seemingly in over her head, filed an ignorant and nonsensical game account from Miami Monday night. However, the week improved appreciably thereafter, culminating with Christmas-morning-wrapped-goodies-under-the-tree kind of news relating to a geriatric hockey hating television news anchor at WRC [...]

Media (Very)Good Guy: Elliot on DC-101

19 October, 2006

Elliot Segal, of DC-101‘s “Elliot in the Morning” roughhouse of rush hour mischief, is far and away the region’s most sensible and spirited media personality when it comes to things puck. He’s Canadian, for starters (from what province I do not know). He’s also a Caps’ season ticket holder. (I don’t know how he keeps [...]

Retirements, Firings, and Tribunals: a Fresh MSM Meditation

13 October, 2006

As I familiarize myself with the caliber of Caps’ coverage at non-traditional outlets far more established than OFB, I become thoroughly convinced of: the inverse relationship between the prestige and remuneration associated with MSM hockey coverage, most particularly in our market, and reportorial quality. Which is to say, I would have D.C.’s Tag Team of [...]

Axis of Media Evil

6 October, 2006

Mr. Smith went to Washington to reform politics. Lodged in greater Washington, D.C., a barren outpost of hockey media silence thanks to the malicious disinterest of The Washington Post (henceforth referred to as The Compost), among others, I am venturing into cyberspace to broaden my hometown’s coverage of the planet’s greatest game, and especially of [...]
