Matthew Tkachuk's first hockey memory isn't actually his. It's his mom's. It was his first game and "I guess I was like by far the worst player out there," Tkachuk said. "She thinks that’s hilarious." That didn't last long. On the birth of a superstar: miamiherald.com/sports/nhl/flo…

I'd be scared to death to pass on Darryn Peterson, but AJ Dybantsa is converting me tonight


The Wizards are too good at scouting and player development to outtank everyone


Did I just watch the greatest big air ski jump of all time?


I don't really understand why Jordan Stolz wasn't a bigger part of NBC's marketing leading up to the Olympics


Is the Miami Floridian just a sunburned old man?

Ilia Malinin sort of feels like a mashup of the two Blades of Glory characters


Not gonna pretend like the Wizards tank isn't shameless, but the Jazz are taking it to another level


The AFC was really one of the worst conferences we've ever seen


Don't care if the Cliff Booth movie is Actually Good, it's still gonna be a banger


I don't understand how anyone decides cross country skiing is the sport they want to do.


In the roughly 48 hours since The Washington Post shuttered its sports section: -The Wizards have stunningly traded for Anthony Davis, -A Laker got suspended for tackling the Wizards mascot, and -Sonny Jurgensen died. Whoops!


I can't really explain why I loved reading All-Met as a kid (I wasn't particularly good at sports, neither was the local high school; I didn't know older kids playing sports), but realized later it's because they're just the ultimate hometown stories. Sad that's completely lost.

Thank you.

Metro and Sports (especially local sports; did a single local beat writer survive?) getting crushed means there's a huge lane available. The DMV is filled with exactly the kind of dorks (complimentary) who could make a local-first outlet work.

I haven't been in the area for quite some time, so maybe there's some outlet I'm unaware of, but DC badly needs a high-quality, locally focused print/digital publication. From afar, Metro and local sports coverage seemed to badly deteriorate over the last 5-10 years.



One great thing about the Post is it kept valuing design way after other papers stopped. A lot of good papers haven't had a memorable cover in a decade.

I'm taking requests for specific Sports pages to tweet from The Post's collection of color PDFs, which dates back to April 2002.
