2016 NHL Preview Nerdy 30: Please Don’t Torture Me Again Caps
PARDON ME WHILE I GO THROW UP 30. Arizona Like any bad team, the positives sides of this season will be to see how the future of this team will be doing. Like any bad team, it is because the veterans on the roster are that awful. Max Domi will certainly be a fun player […]
Running Diary: England Crash Out of Their Own Rugby World Cup
As mentioned, the main reason why I went to England was to watch the biggest game of the Rugby World Cup group stages: England-Australia. If Australia wins, it will send a country and “inventors of the sport (like cricket and “football”)” in tatters. If England wins, their World Cup dreams are alive. Here is a […]
My Trip This Weekend
Hello Everyone! As you may have seen, I really enjoy watching Rugby, and outside of hockey, it is becoming my favorite sport. As such, I decided to make a trip out to London this weekend. I will be leaving on October 1st from Dulles to get to the city via Heathrow and will be coming […]
Nemani Nadolo: David in Goliath’s Body
With one match completed, the Rugby World Cup is finally underway, and boy was it an interesting match. The hosts England may have won over Fiji 35-11, but trust me, the game was and should have been much closer than the score indicated. With 16 minutes to go, the underdogs cut the lead to 18-11 […]
The All Blacks and The Eternal Pursuit of Perfection

Why I Am Not Watching A Single Redskins Game Until Further Notice
So how many 0-16 seasons will it take until Dan Snyder learns any lesson. The answer is zero, of course. We learned that answer from 2013 and 2014. Why, because any sane NFL franchise would have treated the 2009 season as the lowest points in their livelihoods. As if Albert Haynesworth wasn’t enough to poison […]
Four Years to the Fourth Power
Since 2012, the Nationals have either been in the playoffs or within striking distance of making the playoffs. During that time, they have brought jubilation and, a bit too many times, heartbreak. The last three days definitely fell on the latter adjective. Here are my thoughts in 4^4 sentences. 1) Four years because you need […]

2015 Stanley Cup Conference Semifinals Preview
Congratulations, we have survived the first round and boy were there some interesting matchups. In the last hockey-graphs podcast, Garret Hohl was dead on the money in mentioning that last round contained matchups of teams that were pretty even with eachother and it was going to take some producing or stealing of lucky charms to […]
