Wizards Jan Vesely Takes In A Caps Game

If you follow us on Twitter, and or have ever spoken to me in real life, you probably know that my favorite player on the Washington Wizards is Jan Vesely.  We turned him into the cartoon Jem (below), I screamed at him in Atlanta, we had him captured by an eagle, we turned him into Rick Rolling, and we raised money for charity in his honor.

On Sunday afternoon the Czech Cager went to Verizon Center to watch the Caps play the Buffalo Sabres and tweeted the above picture.  Maybe Jan is good luck because the Caps picked up their first win of the season while fellow Czech Michal Neuvirth picked up the W.

Jan gave a shout out to Czech compatriots Neuvy, Roman Hamrlick, and Tomas Kundratek on Twitter:

And here is Jan rolling some sushi in his Caps shirt because:

Let's get Jan at more games and pick up some more wins!

DC Athletes Supporting Each Other, Despite Nationalities

I know nothing about international hockey.  Well I really know nothing about hockey at all.  I just happened to randomly be in Prague of the Czech Republic when Jaromir Jagr and the Czech team upset Alexander Ovechkin and the Russian team at the 2010 World Championships.  At one point the entire town square was chanting "Russian Pigs!"  I got the impression that this was a bitter rivalry, possibly not just in hockey?

Czech vs Russia isn't really the point of this post.  The point is that we have players in the city supporting the players on teams of other sports in the city which is cool.  Bringing countries together to support Washington DC!  Here is Wizards forward  (Czech) Jan Vesely rocking an (Russian) Ovechkin Shirsey.  He is also making (Japanese) sushi...for some reason.

Yeah, NHL Lockout.  Time for pics of basketball players rolling sushi.  Fun times.
