It is freezing here in DC, perfect weather for NHL hockey.
It is a long weekend and no school on either Monday or Tuesday.
It is a festive, feel good weekend here in DC. ”Change is coming!”
There will be a Red Out.
There will be a total sellout.
The two best teams in the East will be playing in front of a very passionate fan base.
What could be better?
Go Caps!
I don’t know why but I have been thinking a lot of the champ these last few days and weeks. Check out this film. See “change” and “yes we can” before it was cool. The greatest of all time! Indeed.
Consider this an open invitation Mr. President-Elect to come experience a Capitals game at Verizon Center. Check out Peerless and his blog post here.
You should wear red and come and drop the first puck, perhaps at Military Night or at a playoff game should we qualify this season.
It would be our honor to host you and your family at a game and we promise that 19,000 fans at the game will all be pulling for your success in office. Welcome to DC Mr. President-Elect.
Doom and gloom is in the air for indie films at Sundance. Check out this article. I believe there is still a great market for great films premiering all week at this great one-of-a-kind film festival.
Looking none the worse for wear, here is Billy Campbell on The Today Show, a walking miracle.
Many of my friends know Billy Campbell well. He is a great guy and a good friend. He was aboard the flight yesterday that crash landed in the Hudson River. Here is his story.
Words cannot describe what I am feeling for Billy and for all of the folks that made it off that flight. Miracles do happen.
I shouldn’t say his name until he tells me it is OK but a friend of many of us locally was on this flight and survived and is well.
I have great empathy to the survivors of this plane flight. It is truly a miracle that everyone has survived. Their lives will never be the same.
Make your list my friend! Check out these photographs and the Twitter conversations.
A music industry giant has passed away, rest in peace Gary Kurfirst. You will be missed.
I am actually pretty confident that I know how to do that well. In fact, it may be the only thing I know how to do well. 
Our TV ratings on Comcast are up 140%. The Caps website has the highest level of engagement in the league. SnagFilms hit more than 100 million page views since its July launch as some examples. My soccer film on ESPN did quite well too.
So trust me Steve, tell your execs to program more Caps and more DC United and your ratings will go UP!!!!!!!!!! You will create a bigger tent with more diversity and a larger audience. The advertisers will follow.
The Washington Post gets it. I know you get it deep inside. Get with the program Sports Talk 980 and come to a game. Watch a game with us in the Owner’s Box. We should go have some fun. Thanks for being there. Go Caps!
Hate to say I told you so…but I told you so. I am glad this is all getting put behind us. Check out this article on the “Semin interview”.
Thank you.
And hate to say I told you so on Fleischmann too. Want me to pull up the message board posts and emails I received over the last two years by some of our so-called experts? How does that Robert Lang trade look now? Pretty good to me. Thanks Capitals Insider.
