14 July, 2008

To read the reactions left only here related to the Caps’ plans, announced over the weekend, to introduce SpiritBabes to the team’s home games next season, you’d think management announced that Verizon Center was hosting 41 brothels next winter.

Ain't No Party Like a 'Vechkin Party

15 June, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C.–Alexander Ovechkin is a machine. On the ice and off he constantly gives his all, to the delight of Capitals fans and lovers of hockey everywhere.

10/5/07: Embracing Insomnia

5 October, 2007

I awoke at 4:30 this morning, two hours earlier than my alarm. I’m awake at the same time as Elliot Segal, and like Elliot today, my head is crammed full of thoughts about a new hockey season in Washington.

14 May, 2007

Somewhere over Europe, at 30,000 feet –†As a traveler, I’m not much of a picture-taker. Instead, the images I form of a foreign culture and its distinguishing traits I collect from hours of interactions with its people. I seek out the animate as opposed to their monuments. Now that I think about it, a nation’s [...]

Diary of a Dream Roadtrip: OFB as Foreign Correspondents (Part I)

4 May, 2007

The seldom-designated OFB Code 5 is defined by a call to cease all work and routine, immediately, and respond to unfathomable news of an exhilarating nature by embarking upon a beer-damaging of our respective livers. I say seldom, because prior to April 5 we’d yet to sound its siren.
During the early evening commuting hours of [...]

Honey, I Can Leave the Office, But I Don't Want To

12 April, 2007

In many American office settings the comings and goings and feats and follies of the contemporary sports world serve as common cafeteria and water cooler banter.
