My story of Wiz-Cavs Games 3 and 4 has already been told, but there was one item that couldn't be included at the time due to a blog embargo. But now that the Wizznutzz' masterwork 'Jaarkos Big Day Out' has been posted, it's go time. This is Wizznutzz Finnish intern Jaarko Ruutu dancing to a street musician playing the buckets outside of Verizon Center on Saturday night...

Unbelievable. I thank Jaarko for that and for the high comedy in the cab rides both to and from the game (tiny taste: As we passed the National Building Museum he leans out the window and yells in his vaguely European accent, "MCI Center!"). This video also affords me the opportunity to share two tidbits I forgot to include previously:

1. After Game 4, Ian Eagle told Bill Raftery that I'm an "up-and-comer." The sincerity of his statement could be called into question, but I'll take it nonetheless.

2. Also after that game, Zach Braff was lingering in the tunnel with his entourage, and a VC security-type -- who had no idea who he was -- repeatedly told them they couldn't stand where they were standing. Finally, they had no choice but to move along, prompting Braff to say loudly and sarcastically,"THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A GREAT NIGHT."

A little taste of Hollywood in DC!

  I was really hoping UM was wearing his Spurrier jersey at the end, alas...
  
  I think I just might have to become a Wizards fan. I haven't ever had an NBA team but the vibe around the team is just too good. And if they're good enough for my fellow Finns, they're good enough for me.
