Vancouver and Ashburn

Here is a picture of the Canadian gold-winning hockey team. Congrats to them, I think that is Crosby on the far left. He looks pretty good even though he has less rouge on than normal, almost like he has been sniffing around the goalmouth waiting for the puck to bounce off his stick and is no worse for the wear.

But the men play tommorow and I can't wait. The Canadians were so mad that the US finished the semis in the 1st period of our game, but deal with it. Maybe because when they destroyed the Slovaks 14 out of the 20 Canadians racked up a point. The Golden Princess wasn't one of those 14. Perhaps there weren't enough pucks lying around the crease to just pop in for a cheap goal. Canada just got them legitimately. The game tommorow should be awesome, and just getting a silver is more than we could have expected going into the tournament.

I haven't talked about the Skins for a while so here we go. I am ecstatic that they are going to try to bring Campbell back. While he is not a top 5 QB, he is top ten, and no one you could draft is going to be better if we are not rebuilding and going on as if we won't finish at the bottom of the East for the third year in a row. Bradford's draft status went up at the combine with both his gained weight of pure muscle and pristine passing. Hopefully this tempts the Rams and one of the DTs, either McCoy or Suh fall to the four spot. I know the Skins are swithching to the 3-4, but get the talent where it lies, and maybe get rid of Haynesworth and his contract if it is an uncapped year. Otherwise trade down for multiple picks with some team that wants Claussen badly.

Friday is the deadline to see if there is a cap this year. Its not likely. If it doesn't happen, get everyone, frontload their contracts, and go from there. Julius Peppers for one, Brian Westbrook to replace Portis for another, or possibly Sproles from San Diego. But the Skins need to work on that O-Line. Lets see if Snyder ponies up the dough. We will see, but for tommorow, go USA!
