(Editor’s note: this is an old-ass post I’ve long forgotten about. Oh well…) This is a day I thought would NEVER happen. EVER.

Vegas, Capitals Make Stanley Cup Finals Must-See
People who’ve been following this blog know that it’s extremely rare to see a hockey rant in these parts. It’s not that I dislike hockey. I’ve attended plenty of games in person and I think it’s the best spectator sport in the world. Living in Raleigh and Washington DC made me a fan of the…

The World’s Quickest (and Latest) 2018 NBA Playoff Preview: 2nd Round
These NBA Playoffs have gotten off to such an exciting start! With the exception of the Pelicans’ sweep of the Trail Blazers, the first round was “must-see TV”.
