YOU GOTTA LOVE IT

 



“O, CANADA … OUR HOME AND NATIVE 

LAND … TRUE PATRIOT LOVE … IN ALL OF 

US COMMAND … WITH GLOWING HEART, 

WE SEE THEE RISE, THE NEW NORTH BOLD 

AND FREE … FROM FAR AND WIDE …..”



“No matter how many times you hear it … that is 

awesome … 18,000-plus singing in unison,” said the 

NHL-on-ESPN’s Sean McDonough Tuesday night 

after the sell-out crowd in Edmonton gave a stirring, 

impromptu rendition of the Canadian National 

Anthem prior to Game 4 of the Oilers’ playoff game 

with Dallas. 



“….. O, CANADA … WE STAND ON GUARD FOR 

THEE … O, CANADA, WE STAND ON 

GUARD … FOR … THEEEEE!!”

McGARITY NOT READY TO GIVE UP ... 'NO SIR ... NOT YET'

  Nothing, it seems, can keep  AARON McGARITY  down … not for very long, anyway. He’s one of those  lucky people who always sees the glass half full. None  of that half-empty stuff for the lanky right-hander from  Richmond, once-again in limbo but upbeat, as usual,  that his baseball career hasn’t reached the walk-off  stage … and he’ll actually have to go to work to make a  living. “ I’m not giving up … no sir, not yet,” McGarity said  Saturday.  For every  JUAN SOTO , baseball’s current mega-star,  there are thousands of Aaron McGaritys out there ...  who, despite numerous setbacks, just know things are  going to get better. In other words, McGarity is a poster  child for the American dream … determined to carry on  for as long as it takes … even if, deep down, he knows the odds are stacked (very high) against him. “ I just had a ‘pro day,’ which is like a tryout in front of  scouts. I averaged 9...

VATECH HOOPS SIGNED A GOOD ONE ... AND THAT'S AS SINCERE AS IT GETS

Frankly, I haven’t kept up with Virginia Tech  basketball … so I’m not sure why the Hokies are  having a down season … but one thing is for sure: they made a great choice in signing Churchland High  School’s  SINCERE JONES  for the class of 2025 …  I know, I know … being virtually unstoppable in  high school doesn’t necessarily translate into  undergraduate phenom or, for that matter, four-year  starter. Still, based on what he did Tuesday night,  virtually a one-man gang against Atlee High in the  quarterfinals of the state tournament, Jones qualifies  as the real deal. Against a team that obviously was better (and won  63-54 on its home floor), the 6-7, 200-pound player  his coach calls “distinctly different,” scored 28  points and left Atlee senior  KNOX AXSELLE ,  assigned the unenviable chore of going one on one  defensively with Jones, admitting … “He’s the best  I’ve faced in high schoo...

WIDE RECEIVER HAD TO GO ... WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG?

  Of all things (Commanders, Colonial Downs, and ACC): It was about time the Washington football team dumped  receiver  JAHAN DOTSON . You couldn’t help but notice,  even from TV replays, that the former No. 1 draft pick  (2022) from Penn State oftentimes ran the wrong routes.  Otherwise, how to explain Dotson being in the same passing  lane as a teammate, thereby putting more pressure on the  quarterback while making the play easier to defend? …  Worse, he tended to loaf when his number wasn’t called in  the huddle … and he wasn’t known for sparkling open-field  blocking either ... Also, Dotson is one of those wideouts  who makes difficult catches look easy but lacks required  concentration on routine receptions and therefore drops too  many … Sending Dotson to a divisional rival, usually a no- no, is another indication the Commanders believe he is too  flawed to really hurt them. .......  Come on … let’s h...
