Monday Morning Quarterback

A few thoughts on sports this Monday. First, congratulations to the Maryland Terp Field Hockey team. They had an undefeated season going into the National Championship game, but lost in the last 11 seconds of the game, 3-2 to North Carolina. The Terps still had a great sesaon, finishing 22-1 and setting many records during the year.

The Maryland football team continues to find way to lose and is now 2-9, one of the worst seasons in the past 30 years. I'm not sure a coaching change is what is needed but many do, so it very well could happen after the season is over next Saturday.

The Washington redskins, also, continue to find a way to lose. This past Sunday they lost to the Dallas Coboys, 7-6, when the Cowboys scored the winning touchdown in the last three minutes of the game, making the Redsin 3-7. But, six points is not enough to win in the NFL and the offense is just not putting enough points on the scoreboard. Coaching change here is most likely after the season.

The Wasington Wizzards were expected to be better this season but they are off to a rough start even with a new coach and Gilbert Arenas back. But, it is too early in the long NBA season to write them off - they have the players and a good coach so still hope they will make the playoffs this season.

The Washington Capitals are playing the best of all the area pro teams and have proven they can win even when Ovetchkin is out hurt. Hockey is another long sesaon so anything can happen and injuries can definitely play a part in the final record. But the Caos are real good and I do expect the Caps to be in the playoffs and go far.
