What a moment. I was fortunate to be there. Electric atmosphere all night. And what a call by Joe Beninati — and then he let the scene tell the story. Now my humble request for Ovechkin: Please don’t score Sunday (unlikely) so I can see the record broken in person.

With antisemitism on the rise, including on college campuses since October 7, it’s ironic and meaningful for three Jews to be coaching in the Final Four. Good story by ⁦Chuck Culpepper⁩. washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/04…

Long-time Washington Capitals announcer Joe Beninati called Alex Ovechkin's first NHL goal. All these years later, he called Alex Ovechkin's record-breaking goal. 🫡 Iconic. #Gr8ness

This is the highlight of the Orioles’ season so far: Jim Palmer has never eaten a chicken wing in his life.

Just when you think Ovechkin can’t accomplish anything else, he does this.

Forget college and pro sports. The main reason parents say their child specializes in one sport is just to make the high school team. Thanks as always to Jordan Blazo and Travis Dorsch for their work surveying youth sports parents.

103 mph to end the game! Tarik Skubal is unreal. So fun to watch. Now just stay healthy.

The Florida Panthers have extended my favorite, stunning sports stat for another year: A United States-based team (Baltimore Stallions, 1995) has more recently won the CFL Grey Cup title than a Canada-based team (Montreal Canadiens, 1993) has won the NHL Stanley Cup title.

If nothing else, many of these on-the-record quotes by current ADs will be included in future lawsuits.

What is this Bobby Bonilla Day you all speak of? In Baltimore, we celebrate July 1 as Chris Davis Day. Davis receives $3.5M every July 1 from the Orioles until 2032 and then $1.4M from 2033-37. Also, Bonilla is being paid $500,000 annually from the Orioles for 25 years.
