DC Sports Stealing ALL the headlines

Wow. Where do we begin? In some shape or form DC sports have literally stolen all the headlines (good and bad) in the last few weeks.

Capitals-

The Caps are the pride and joy of DC sports later and bring the most promise. The team is led by Alex Ovechkin but has SIX other players with 20+goals. The team had it's first ever sweep of their hated rivals, The Pittsburgh Penguins and won the President's trophy for most points by a team in the season. Everyone is hoping the gap-toothed Russian can bring Lord Stanley's Cup to DC.

Wizards-

I am going to stay away from this for personal political reasons right now

Nationals-

The Nats are coming off another tough season. The off-season was high-lighted by the signing of stud pitcher Scott Strasburg. They made headlines on Monday after opening day when Nationals Park was over run by Phillies fans. People estimated that the park was 75% Phillies fans. The Post and the Examiner have ripped the Nats for selling to Philly fans. Bottom line is this. If people realllllly wanted to go, wouldn't they have put together group tickets back in February? Not to mention I think only 2 of my friends even went to opening day.

Redskins-

Danny boy does it again. The Redskins traded their 2nd round pick and a conditional 3rd or 4th round pick for former Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. McNabb,33, is a 6 time pro-bowler, led to the Eagles to 5 NFC Championships, and 1 super Bowl appareance. This surely means Jason Campbell's time in DC is over. We will see how much of the team's trouble's have been Jason's fault about halfway through the season. In the meantime I am just going to sit back, and wait for the NFL Draft.
