It's a little less than 3 days before the new year. The ending of each year brings both anxiety and hope.  Economic indicators point to a mild recession, boy that's heartwarming. I read today that average Americans don't rate Iraq as a high concern anymore. It's the pocketbook, always the pocketbook.  The mortgage crisis is a mess but anytime you make $50,000 and someone shows you how to buy an $600,000 house, shouldn't you be at least cautious or wary? Instant gratification.  It's the American way. That's enough of that. Time for sports talk.

    I'd like to thank my team Forest "Hurricane" Godwin, who has a bi-monthly radio spot on ESPN in New York,  Teon "24" Abrams, Adina "A!" Ferguson, Justin Creech, and Sean Foster, my WVU guy for a great year.  We're looking forward to a great 2008!

    To all readers of DCMetrosports.com I thank you for your patience as we develop this into a fine sports property worthy of your patronage.
