This is one of the best movie trailers I have seen in a long, long time. Wow. Now I want to go see this film.

End Sermon
Thanks to DC United for feting us at halftime yesterday. We saw a great game as DC United beat the LA Galaxy and they treated our Homeless World Cup team like professional athletes. Ben Olson came out to our games and conducted a skills clinic and the team let our players meet the DC United players as they came onto the field for the second half of the game. DC United is a class act. Thanks for all of the support. And MLS supported us in NYC and LA too. We can’t thank you enough.
Another Nice Review of “Kicking It” from NYC
A Bit More on the Weekend and All of the Great Press
Thank you, thank you. Helping to bring the message of hope and redemption through sports is a great calling in life.
All About Goals
Here is a well done piece on homelessness and our weekend tournament from the Washington Post.
We generated an incredible amount of good and positive press for the homeless, which is one of the main deliverables of Filmanthropy. Thank you for those of you who turned out to support the games and these wonderful people.
Boxoffice.com on “Kicking It”
Thanks for helping us sell out the Friday night performances of “Kicking It.” We are generating lots of great buzz for the film and helping to shine the light on homelessness and how a ball can change your life.
The Punch on “Kicking It”
Thanks so much for the support.
Thank You Bob Cohn
Thanks to the Washington Times. This is a really great article about the games played yesterday with profiles on some of the great people that are playing on the pitch.
It was a great day with lots of healthy competition and then a nice set of meals followed by the premiere of “Kicking It”. Today, we will be playing street soccer all day so come on out and enjoy the festivities and the games. See you at Kastles Tennis Stadium.
Congratulations to Roy and Patrick
Congratulations to Roy Hibbert for being picked in the first round of the NBA draft by Toronto and then getting traded to the Indiana Pacers and to Patrick Ewing, Jr. for being picked in the second round by the Sacramento Kings. Jeff Green went high in the draft last year and ended up in Seattle and now two players were drafted from the team as seniors. Georgetown basketball is back. Kudos to these young men for staying in school and graduating as seniors and having their pro basketball dreams come true as well. Hoya Saxa.
A Great Read on our Strategy for the Capitals
Here is a mature and thoughtful piece on our plans and strategies for the Washington Capitals.
During the lockout, as noted, we really did map out who we had drafted; what our plans would be; how the cap would grow; who we would have to resign; and plot year by year what we would have to do to keep the team together.
Having a true plan with financials and knowing when contracts expire and estimating what the cap will be, etc. etc. is a new science and art form for front offices of NHL teams. To date, we have to get credit for managing this process pretty well. We have cap room. We can keep our team together and we are hopeful we can continue to execute well this off season as outlined in this article. Wish us well and wish us good fortune in keeping the team together. Game on.
