Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

"As President-elect Barack Obama and his family settle into Washington ahead of his inauguration, they'll undoubtedly go through a period of adjustment. The girls will need to get used to a new school, the whole family will learn soon enough about the city's muggy summers, and Obama himself may need to become a hockey fan because the other local sports teams currently range from mediocre to stupendously bad."

Yeah, I welcome President Obama as a fan…but would prefer if he enjoys the game from the comfort of his own (White) House.

Need him to nail down his allegiances.

Then again, being born in Hawaii, all bets are off.

The President, in the VC, watching a Capitals game in June, and (most) all will be right with the world.

Only if we win :)

He’s already mentioned that he’d like to see a college football playoff…maybe he’ll go to a game extend his sports-related platform and declare that he’d like to see better ice at VC!
