The Capitals and Wizards are wrapping up pretty bad seasons in their own way, and Kuney debriefs them both. The future is bright, but the present is dark. The Nationals are 12 games in, and I am already sick of the entire pitching staff. Like I said, don't expect much winning. 

Plus, a real head-scratching sad stat, and Trap Talk is back!

2:00 Capitals - Disappointing end to the season; we're on the brink of elimination. Are there only 3 games left of Ovi's career?

11:06 Sad Stat of the Week - Who has more wins since 1997: Wizards or Tim Duncan?

12:56 Nationals - 4-8 start to the season, and the bullpen is the biggest culprit

20:08 Wizards - WE'RE KEEPING THE PICK BABY!

24:52 Trap Talk - A relatively factual statement regarding the Ravens.

With the NFL draft coming up in less than a month, Kuney discusses who he would like for the Ravens to take with their top-2 picks. The Capitals and Wizards have 9 games remaining in bad seasons for both teams, but if everything goes right, the future is bright. 

Somehow the Nationals won their first game, but don't expect much winning this season in DC. Plus, an injury-filled sad stat of the week. 

1:20 Ravens - Who should be drafted at 14 and 45?

5:09 Capitals - Are there only 9 games left in Ovechkin's career? Logan Thompson's dominant season goes to waste.

13:08 Sad Stat of the Week - Missing over half of your games...is that good?

14:56 Nationals - A surprising win for an opening day Curly W, but do not let this fool you.

20:22 Wizards - Only 9 games left, closer and closer to keeping our first round pick.

The Capitals have fallen to the point where they became sellers at the deadline, but hey! at least they got good value in return. The Ravens swung and missed at Maxx Crosby, but made up for it by signing veteran DE Trey Hendrickson; unfortunately, the Ravens missed out on retaining any of our UFA's. The Nationals announced their opening day starter, and are the Sabres just going to be contenders now? Kuney breaks it all down on this episode.

1:08 Ravens - Linderbaum? Gone; Likely? Gone; Stout, Ricard, Mitchell, Kolar? Gone. Kuney breaks down the Ravens moves so far in Free Agency including the Maxx Crosby debacle. 

10:22 Capitals - With less than a 10% chance to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Capitals are officially sellers at the deadline.

The Wizards traded for Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis, and the Nationals traded away Mackenzie Gore (sad face). Plus, a fresh sad stat, gold medal talk, and a hot take!
