Miscellaneous

The first set of transfers--Papastathopoulos, Leichsteiner, some teenagers--are underwhelming.  We shall see if we get a good CM.  Emery is probably going to have to get more out of the guys already on staff.  Let's hope Ramsey is one of them, and Jack would be helpful too.

The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup for the first time in their 44 year history.  The Wizards were bounced in the first playoff round.  DC United is awful again.  The Nationals are pretty good again.

I will try to resist the World Cup.  It's in Russia for one thing, and of course the absence of the US and Italy takes a lot of the interest out of it for me.  Qatar is probably going to be a complete mess that discredits FIFA entirely.  I can't believe they didn't do that selection over again.
