Metro happened to stumble upon this link (trust us), but apparently this gay blog has a hard-on for Lake Braddock grad Justin Spring.
Our favorite part of this blog. Definitely the pretty straight-forward poll question. Wow.
I wonder what Spring, and more importantly his mom (a school teacher) would think. Even though we do admit that gymnastics is a pretty homosexual sport, Spring a'int spotting his teammates for that reason. He has a girlfriend.

10:30 A.M. — Mia Hamm's Umbilical Cord Is Making News
Yes, that headline is right. Former Lake Braddock soccer standout Mia Hamm (and wife of Nomar Garciaparra), signed a deal with an umbilical cord blood bank, according to the Boston Herald.
Granted, it's for a good cause (her brother could have been saved with cord blood), but it's expensive.
"According to Viacord’s Web site, the company charges $1,920 for the initial collection and processing of the cord blood, plus $150 for transporting the blood by courier, plus a yearly storage fee of $125, a total of $2,195 for opening an account. They also offer 6-, 12- and 60-month payment plans.
Currently, the company is advertising $100 off that price and will donate $25 to the Mia Hamm Foundation."
The article fails to say what's so special about cord blood.

8 A.M. — High School Golf Already Under Way
Football two-a-day practices started a little more than a week ago, and the VHSL is already hosting a golf tournament. Damn. What happened to enjoying a mid-August summer?
Some random from Oakton shot a 74 (something I couldn't even pray for), and another guy from Lake Braddock turned in a 75? It's not so much that this tournament is riveting — I'm just shellshocked the fall sports season is starting several weeks before school starts.
What's next? Year round? Ohh, wait.

7 A.M. — Spring Helps U.S. Men Capture Unlikely Bronze
Yeah, the Chinese won the gold medal, but at least the U.S. Men's gymnasts took home a bronze.
A big reason was because of Lake Braddock graduate Justin Spring, who had big performances in the high bar and parallel bar routines.
Here are a few quotes, "Justin Spring was just as good, showing the circus types a thing or two with his flips and twists. He does a triple somersault for his dismount, and he got such great air, he landed halfway down the podium." Is that good or bad?
What is a low risk move in gymnastics? "Both Horton and Spring, who do high-risk moves, had taken big falls during Olympic qualifying competitions but when Spring held his landing the men jumped into each others' arms. Assistant coach Miles Avery swung Spring around." This is not a romantic novel.
If you're like the rest of the country and you sweat a men's gymnast, here's his official Web site.

3:30 P.M. — Digital Sports Football Preview (Annandale)
DigitalSports is starting their 30-team Northern Region football previews. Up next is Annandale.
The good news is that Annandale has a solid coach in Dick Adams. They've got six starters returning on both sides of the ball, including brainiac senior quarterback Cason Kynes.
The only problem is finding wins. The Patriot District is stacked, with West Springfield looking to be the class of the field. West Potomac and Annandale both made the playoffs and South County will have their first full class this year. Even T.C. Williams should be much improved.
The telling quote from Adams: "We're not ultra-talented in terms of natural ability, but if they listen and work extremely hard, with their character they're going to be just fine."
