Our love for Movember comes in many forms. On one hand it’s gives us warm & fuzzies to see hockey players doing something fun to raise money and awareness for a good cause. Also, we like to see people looking silly. We’ve even gone so far as to suggest some people should take donations not […]
Yesterday, Mike asked: So are we, my friend. While we’re sure Mike would look be great at lifting heavy things around the WUYS office, some actual work must be done here. We can’t just be watching the help all day long, asking them to get things off high shelves and turning the heat up full […]
Bored with the lockout, Mike and I are both rebound-dating the NFL. Yesterday we watched the Ravens game. Only difference is, he was there. I was at a pumpkin patch on a hay ride with no hay. It’s a metaphor for my life. from www.RussianMachineNeverBreaks.com Don’t start sticking your hands in your pockets now, buddy. […]
So it’s Monday morning and I’ve already torn my jeans and gotten the wrong ice tea from Dunkin Donuts. Everyone in DC is off work except for me, because the movie industry does not care about the alleged discovery of the New World. Sorry Columbus. There’s only one way to save this Monday: New Mike […]
It’s Monday, and the first of October. I expected to be writing about pre-season games and the fact that in 10 days, the regular season would start on my birthday. Followed by the Caps home opener on October 12, Mike’s birthday. Instead, we’re still on golf. I’ll admit it: I saw this picture several times […]
Labor Day is “dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers,” according to the US Government. To celebrate manual labor and capitalism, some of us have signed up for this: Mike and Nicky and Brooks? Oh my. And playgrounds don’t have lockouts so this is really the best Plan B: Bonus in the […]
On Saturday afternoon, NHL Network replayed the Caps’ triple-OT loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of last season’s playoffs. I turned it on halfway through the third period… and proceeded to watch over 60 minutes of hockey knowing a) nothing happens and b) when something finally does, it’s horrible. That’s how much I miss […]
If you don’t follow @alexsemin, then I don’t know what you spend your time laughing at. And you missed the goobye haikus composed for his former Caps teammates, coaches, broadcasters and foes. My favorite: In my mind, the only thing Sasha Fierce ever did right: Based on this photo of Mike, taken last week and trolled […]
How I feel right now. And from my good side: Too bad my hair doesn’t look like this. Wahwaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I’m almost sorry we gave Mikey the Mondays because sometimes they are so exhausting. And I am not even remotely adorable or hedgehog-y when feeling wiped out. You know what helps? (I didn’t even have to […]
“You got your Tony Lama’s on, your jeans pressed tight….” – Jimmy Buffett (Psst. Tony Lama’s are cowboy boots.) Put down your cereal spoon give thanks for Eileen Duong. Not only is she lucky and generous, but she takes a wicked cell phone photo. (All photos with permission, from eileenduong.tumblr.com) Yesterday, Mike turned down the Capitals […]
On Friday, I was meeting our friend Matt at Shake Shack in DC for lunch. He called me five minutes before I was due to arrive: “Mike Green is here. Mike Green is here.” Needless to say I ran out of a meeting and hustled up there… only to miss him by about 30 seconds. […]
Who saw Magic Mike this weekend? Oh come on, you were all thinking it. I wouldn’t count on the dance moves, though. You’ve seen how often this Mike falls down. No, really. Oh well. We are sitting, waiting, wishing for news about Mike’s contract. The Capitals made a qualifying offer on his $5 million current […]
I know you’ve gone two weeks without Mikey Monday and frankly, there’s nothing I can do about it. A certain person needs to get cowboy-ed up at Stampede or something (anything!), because I’m sailing off the edge of the internet here. Luckily, reader Emily Miller delivered this just in time for Monday: Remember on “Caps Cribs” when […]
Now that it’s June, we might as well start talking about the elephant in the room: will the Caps re-sign Mike Green this summer? Or, more accurately, does anyone want to see my meltdown if they don’t? Before I put my head in an oven like Kate Winslet in The Holiday, please read this hilarious […]
Ever think you could watch a good-looking guy just do nothing all day? TA DA! Since we missed Memorial Day Mikey Monday yesterday, the lovely Katie Howell sent us this workout video. I have to do these planks endlessly for Tough Mudder training, so I should clearly be going to Mike’s gym. He doesn’t look […]
Listen. If this whole summer is going to be about hockey players in plaid shirts that aren’t buttoned all the way… we’re going to make it after all. I don’t even care that I hate this hat, because it makes me think of a kick-ass Butch Walker song: “Lights Out” Alternative exhibits in this case: […]
Lying dead on the floor in front of my TV was not an ideal Saturday night, but at least I wasn’t the only one. I won’t get down on the Caps for their game seven performance because it’s not what I want to remember all summer. This year, I watched more hockey than ever. I […]
The only reasons to be awake at 7 AM on a Saturday are you’re 1) still up from the night before or 2) buying playoff hockey tickets. I woke Gator up with a text and we debated (read: I peer pressured her). Something was telling me to go. The Force was communicating. So we went. […]
The Blame Mike Green Train has left the station with all NBC announcers aboard. I hope it derails (off a bridge) and only Liam McHugh’s career survives. Mike had a rough day Saturday. He was -2 with no points and only 1 shot. He fanned on a couple of power play set-ups from the point. […]
I was at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park today and in the Dr. Seuss store, I found this: Coincidence? Or the only explanation for this: Mike scored a goal yesterday, for the first time since October 22. I yelled something inappropriate while watching the game with my dad. He just laughed. It didn’t matter […]
