I'm still reeling from the shock that was the cover of this morning's Express (smaller, free version of the Washington Post). Who on God's green Earth thought that anyone would want to start their day seeing Mike Tyson in his panties? I just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about it. Click on the title above for the article and photo if you dare.
In other, better Express news I may have found the man I'm going to marry. Well, not really. But Matt Swenson must have been reading my mind when he wrote the article "Anthem Cheer for the Birds". For those of you who have never had the good fortune to attend a game at Camden (one of baseball's greatest parks), the O's fans have a bad habit of yelling "O's say" instead of the actual "O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave". It is something that just drives me batty and strikes me as rude and borderline disrespectful to our anthem. What bothers me more is there are people who are doing it at the Nats games. WE ARE NOT IN BALTIMORE. You have your own team and your own stadium - go yell O there.
As my man Matt put it "It's all well and good to be an Orioles fan in this age of Nationals baseball, but do Washingtonians have to suffer through the same desecration of the National Anthem seen every game day at Camden Yards?...Granted, there may be some guilty parties who just don't know what they're doing. For those poor souls who proudly cheer 'O's' at the Nats game, there are doctors who can treat the illness." Amen, Matt, amen.
