It was a good sports weekend, with the exception of the Redskins defeat to the basically winless Bungles. The Caps took two games and four hard earned points from good teams. Simeon Varmalov had his debut as goalie and was the first rookie goalie to win since like 1978 or something like that. Not bad for the kid. I guess it was a better choice to play him over the Caps website producer who was the backup the night before. He is at least a goalie, but it was funny to see someone we had never heard of sitting on the bench for the first period until Varmalov arrived on Friday night. I had a feeling Johnnie would need the night's rest, but had no idea Varmalov would be so solid in Montreal, for Hockey Night in Canada!
I cannot even watch the Wizards anymore.
The Hoyas (ranked #19 at the time) defeated Memphis (#17) so they should continue to climb in the ratings. I like how they are playing, even if it took overtime to knock off Memphis.
But the Sports Kid has to make a comment on the Heisman. Colt McCoy led the Longhorns to a victory over the Oklahoma Sooners and Sam Bradford this season, despite Oklahoma being higher ranked at the time. Each team lost one game during the season, OU to UT, UT to Texas Tech and Texas Tech to OU thought Tech was out of it at the end. Nevertheless OU gets to play for the national title, despite losing to UT. And now Bradford wins the Heisman over McCoy too. Colt won the much lesser known Walter Camp award, given to the best player by coaches and sports information directors.
At least Colt plans to return for his senior year, and then he can smash the stats he set this year. And perhaps prove himself over Bradford and Tebow yet again as worthy.
Maybe Colt can have the last laugh in the NFL?

Hey, just learned about your blog from the Mike Wise video. I was scrolling down through some of your posts and saw this one. Isn't it funny how a few months down the road Varley is leading the NHL in play off wins and save %? Good thing Bruce got him some reps throughout the season to get him ready for the big show. Keep up the good work kid.
