America loves a comeback

Great post from Ted Leonsis about HBO 24/7:

I am reminded of the late great Brandon Tartikoff, former President of NBC and a close friend of mine, when he said, “Ted - remember that television drama only focuses on three acts. Act 1 - Young kid comes out of nowhere, shocks the experts and wins. A happy story. Act 2 - Young kid as winner has a very public and humiliating fall. Humility and lessons learned. Act 3 - Redemption and comeback. America loves a comeback.”
In other news Pens lost to Rangers (round of applause to Rangers!). See, both teams are in HBO reality show, what's the difference?

The difference is that Pans are going down and Caps, being there already, are going up.

Go, Caps!

I concur, some one need to get a good screen shot of that one ;-)

RMNB has a very brief and blurry one on FB:

Speaking of RMNB, check out Peter Hassett's awesome video review of the first episode of HBO's 24/7 if you haven't already done so.

And please, someone post a super sharply focused shot of Ovie in his undies. Many of us, myself included, need something else to ponder in these dark hours than Coach Boudreau's BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP "coaching" style.

Haven't seen Valeria in DC since 1st week of November. She was in Miami for a while. She posted pics of her ass on her website.

@Marge: I didn't realize your screencaps came from the NHL.com video. I went there and saw what I wanted to see. Plus TJ put up a great screencap. Thanks again. :)
