See Ovechkin Sing the Easterns Jingle
D.C. Sports Bog —
See Ovechkin Sing the Easterns Jingle If you had asked me four days ago to name 10 developments that would be locked-and-loaded D.C. Sports Bog magic with no questions asked, "Alex Ovechkin singing the Eastern Motors" jingle would probably have been about seventh on the list, right ahead of "Gary Williams and Greivis Vasquez admit to being two of the 9,000 fans who watch every Nats broadcast on MASN" and right behind "Gilbert Arenas learn to curl while sampling various soft-ripening Northern Italian sheep cheeses." But I might have underestimated the Ovechkin thing, for two reasons: 1) I didn't know how he pronounces "SUV," and; 2) I didn't know what beverage he ...

For those of you in the Greater Washington area, you have seen or heard the Eastern Motors commercials. You know ... "At Eastern Motors, Your Job's Your Credit." Here's Ovechkin singing the jingle:

Alexander Ovechkin, Easterns Motors Song, Commercial
NESW Sports, Sports Videos —
Alexander Ovechkin, Easterns Motors Song, Commercial. This is why you have got to love local bloggers. How in the world would we all know about this Ovechkin commercial. Dan Steinberg of The Sports Bog posted this and a couple other Eaterns Motors DC sports commercials.
I liked this one the most. Ovechkin shows us that he can not dance or sing. He does not know that people find it odd when you scratch your arm to the music for longer than 4 seconds, especially when it already sounds like you are heavily “medicated”. He loves vodka. That’s a shocker. He is also a good judge of ...

WOOOO! YEAH! AMERICA ROCKS! OUR FOREIGN POLICY HAS JUST BEEN VINDICATED BECAUSE WE KICKED SOME ASS ON THE DIAMOND! YEAH! The score was USA 15, Venezuela 6 in first-round World Baseball Classic action last night, and with a 2-0 record in pool play, the Americans are assured of advancing to the next round. Your heroes are Chris Ianetta (3-run double in 6th inning) and Mark DeRosa (4 RBI). Wait, those guys are actually on America’s roster? Seriously?
(DeRosa, proving that refs totally listen to you when you say you’re safe.)

ALEXANDER OVECHKIN NEEDS VODKA
With Leather —
Sorry for the back-to-back videos, but when the greatest player in the NHL does a car dealership commercial, cementing his legacy as one of The District’s most beloved athletes, I listen (even though I may not care). And Ovechkin probably signs about as well as he brushes his teeth and hair, but the kid’s got charisma. I’m sure they’re going to sell a great number of “Suvs” after this airs. Now if we could only get him some braces. ...
Puck Headlines: Wings GM makes great playoff seeding proposal

Here are your Puck Headlines: A glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media. • The NHL general managers' meetings are set for this week in Naples, Fla. (what recession?), and fighting would appear to be the topic getting the most play. But Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland is expected to present a new tie-breaking proposal for playoff seeding that makes too much sense: When two teams have the same number of points in the standings, the tie-breaker should be which one has more ...

Outside the Boxscore —
In today's Moment of Zen, I came across a clip of Alexander Ovechkin doing the Eastern Motors jingle. Sure, that was relatively funny and I loved the fact that he asked for some vodka but in all honest the original Eastern Motors ads cannot be beat. "Fords, Hondas, Chevy's, Beemers, and minivans. Over 600 hundred cars and minivans, are you listening man?" (Courtesy of NESW Sports from DC Sports Bog)

Alex The Awkward
The Power Play —
A video has surfaced of Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin doing a terribly cheesy ad for a local car dealership out of Washington. I've watched the video numerous times and I still have no idea what he is trying to say/sing. Though the one part that did come through that made me laugh is when he pronounces S.U.V.'s as Suvs. By now this video has been pretty much everywhere, but I figured I might as well post it anyways. Because if I didn't post a hilariously awkward video of the league's most popular player then I might get my hockey blogger license taken away. And do you know how hard that thing is ...

While the Penguins defeated the Capitals on Sunday courtesy of a Sidney Crosby shoot-out goal, there also appears to be a battle between the two teams off the ice. Dan Steinberg's Sports Bog featured this video of Alexander Ovechkin singing the Eastern Motors song: I'll take Max Talbot for the block. If nothing else, this should at least make you smile on a Tuesday.

Is There Anything Alexandria Ovechkin Can't Do?
Walker Sports —
There is no question that Alexander Ovechkin is the best hockey player in the NHL right now. He is on his way to winning his second consecutive league MVP, and hopefully for Washington Capitals fans, Ovechkin is ready to lead the Caps deep into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. While all of those things are well and good, it is this latest clip that proves Alexander Ovechkin has truely arrived as a celebrity and hero. If you live in the Washington D.C. area, you have heard the catchy jingles from a local car dealership. While having a deal with Nike or Adidas is well and good, it is the Eastern Motors commercial that shows true greatness, and today Ovie has reached ...

Thrashers Clown Ovechkin in Arena PSA
FanHouse —
by Bruce Ciskie Filed under: Capitals, Thrashers, Eastern, NHL VideosMost NHL teams have to get creative to entertain fans during long television timeouts. If you go to games, you'll see goofy animations on the scoreboard, games where fans are encouraged to behave like they've been drinking even when they haven't, and advertisements for future home games and promotions, among other things. In Atlanta, the Thrashers produced a mock PSA for Tuesday's game against Washington. Defenseman Ron Hainsey spoke about hockey players "doing bad commercials", highlighted by outtakes from superstar Alexander Ovechkin's ...

Ovechkin Signs with IMG
Blue Seat Blogs —
As per Puck Daddy, Alex Ovechkin has signed on-board with IMG (International Management Group). I see the first question, and to answer it, IMG is simply the largest sports marketing / sports agency in the world. They take athletes that become icons in their respective sports (Tiger, Kobe, Jeter, Federer, MJ, Gretzky, to name a few) and make them world wide icons. Ovechkin, like it or not, has transcended the game in a way that Sidney Crosby never can. Think about it, before the Rangers played the Caps in the playoffs, I loved Ovechkin. He’s electric on the ice, and electric off the ice, and has a great sense of humor. ...
