How Not to Critique the Capitals

Posted August 24, 2011

Generally speaking, I admire people who make Youtube videos of themselves talking, because they have the guts to put that up for the world to see. It’s how I met one of the writers for this site, and this kid who does entertaining reviews of the San Jose Sharks.

Then I ran into youtube user ThePhiladelphiaPhart, some dude in his 40s with a WNBA poster in his room who uploaded his May, 2011 critique on August 21, 2011. Not exactly relevant. While no Caps fan is happy about how last season ended, I urge you to watch this video and declare this man the new face of how not to use the Internet.
