Wizzzards Promotion

I'm impressed the Wizzzards are giving away t-shirts promoting their win total.

Weekend Sports Musings

- Ray Lewis' comments, specifically, regarding Billy Cundiff, after yesterday's loss to the Patriots were impressively thoughtful and mature. For a player in the twilight of his career, with limited chances to win another championship, he has an excellent mindset.

- UVA loses to VT in an ugly basketball game. No one ever said making the NCAA tournament was going to be easy.

- Congratulations to Mark Wilson winning for the third time in twelve months on the PGA Tour. MW is currently maximizing his talent better than any other professional golfer.

- Robert Garrigus is using a long putter? Didn't he use a child-sized putter in 2011? What is next, the Happy Gilmore hockey stick putter?

2011/2012 Washington Wizards - Update

Three weeks into the season, I amend my Wizzzards prediction to 'terrible, but trying'. I see hope/ability in John Wall, Chris Singleton, Jordan Crawford, and JaVale McGee, but they need to jettison the rest of the roster, who are overpaid (Rashard Lewis), out of shape (Andray Blatche), or don't seem to care (Nick Young).

It speaks volumes when NY was an unsigned free agent, the only interested team was the Wizzzards.

The Wizzzards need to build around Wall, Jan Vesley, and JaVale McGee. Keep Crawford, Singleton, and Trevor Booker, if possible, or let them go for any value. The rest need to be moved, packaged as suitors see fit.

It is apparent the Wizzzards need to start over and roster flexibility before any marked improvement will be made.
