From the Capital Business Blog:
D.C. City Administrator Allen Y. Lew, who oversaw construction of Nationals Park and the convention center, said in a brief interview last week that after repeated meetings with D.C. United’s new ownership and other stakeholders he hopes to have the framework for a deal to build a new stadium for the team “inside of a year.”

The one bright spot in the first 40 minutes was [Matt] Hendricks, who not only scored his team’s only goal until the game was out of hand but started a fight with the Jets’ Jim Slater as the buzzer sounded to end the second period, apparently figuring he had to do something to give his team some life. “I figured, why not?” Hendricks said. “I was hoping to get the crowd going, the bench going, get some energy in the building.” He smiled wanly. “That’s why it [fighting] is part of hockey.”
If there’s anything that will cause me to quit watching pro hockey, it’s stuff like this. Fighting ought to be banned.

You know what would be really cool- if America had a professional hockey league to occupy us during the winter months.—

I’ve been making my way through Ken Burns’ “Baseball” on Netflix. Prior to watching, I had never heard of Satchel Paige, who, in addition to being a pitching great, also had a way with words. Here’s a quote:
“You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them.”

So I attended my first DC United game last night. It was an interesting experience. Couple of observations.
