i was excited for that one. it was bad. yeah, it was really bad. worst movie almost everyone saw oz the great and powerful and the best movie almost no one saw. you never said your name. mud. we didn t see a lot of sports movies this year which is strange because sports almost always gives us some of the most dramatic moments in the year and 2013 was no exception. in baseball s world series the red sox crushed the cardinals even if it did involve the worst fashion choice. the facial hair like a team full of barn storming hobos. in basketball s championship, the heat scorched the spurs all though the biggest news was from a washington wizard. jason collins coming out of the closet, that was monumental.
including allies, i think was a lot for people to take. it all added up to the worst case of plummeting polls. congress watched its already terrible approval rating go into the basement. we proved between 2008 and 2012 that you can t win by just making the other guy look bad. we have to offer alternatives. and public faith in president obama sank to new lows on par with the man he replaced and despite late-year cooperation, the fighting generally went on. i think in terms of entering an era of goodwill and bipartisan we put the car in reverse and slammed on the gas. i think people are frustrated with how things are going in d.c. you feel it. people just shake their heads like what is going on? still you had to go outside of washington for the best political scandals of the year
from a washington wizard. jason collins coming out of the closet, that was monumental. i think he will open the door for a lot of people who are homosexual. in hockey, the blackhawks froze out the bruins to take the stanley cup. and in football, the ravens edged the 49ers to win the super bowl despite a nerve wracking power failure. it could have been a sign the nfl was heading into one of the worst seasons ever. a lot of bad news. the league was haunted with accusations of real crimes, real abuse and real head injuries. i don t know what it is, but it seems like there is a concussion every game you watch. the nfl reached a $765 million settlement with players. but it could cost the game even more. participation in youth football appears to be plummeting. i think this is the year that 80% of moms in the quiet of their own heart, without telling their husbands or partners, said my kid is not playing football. the best return of an old favorite, the new york marathon

this is our [ bleep ] city. when the boston red sox won the world series that region really needed that boost and that upliftment. and still to this day i really salute boston. worst and best crime story. the escape of three women in cleveland after years of being secretly held captive and tormented in the home of ariel castro. i am glad they got the guy but the victims will never be the same. castro killed himself and the house was torn down. not soon enough for many. people just wanted to go over there and stomp on the dirt. to have that happening in an american city is shocking. hannah anderson lost her mother and brother. shocking too were all the headline grabbing abductions. the fatal shootings in the u.s. capital, in malls, schools and the d.c. navy yard.
