Surviving Snyder

Sunday started with the Commanders dedicating a coat hanger "statue" to Sean Taylor. The day ended with the Commanders' defense sealing a huge win in the final minute of regulation against one of the NFC's playoff hopefuls. Rick, Dalton, and Brendan have their left hands way up as they break it all down.

Washington's defensive line leads the way in a win over Houston.  The guys are feeling great but how optimistic should they be about the rest of the season?
Plus- Fixin's galore, a great day for Virginia Tech, and did we here Commanders fans cheering in Texas?

Survivor Cagayan star Brice Izyah, and Survivor Ghost Island champ Wendell Holland return to break down tonight's double elimination episode. Things are finally getting testy, as sparks fly at camp and at tribal council. Also, the guys discuss one player who's making big moves, they weigh in with winner picks, and Brice wonders whether being a goat can be a winning strategy. PLUS: Rick, Dalton, and Brendan bask in the glory of Monday night's win against the Eagles and preview this week's game against the Texans.

00:00 Intro
02:17 Survivor discussion with Wendell and Brice
46:53 Commanders talk

Don’t pinch us, because if we’re dreaming we don’t want to wake up. The Commanders surprised everyone by going into the house of horrors that is Philly on a Monday night and beating the undefeated Eagles in front of a national audience… by double digits! And poor Rick Devens missed it all. Dalton and Brendan break it all down in jubilant fashion. They truly are leaders on a mission.

The Survivor producers live 2 get radical as they fool the audience and even long time entertainment journalists like our own Dalton Ross! So how does Dalton feel about being fooled?
And is there a villain in our midst?  Debating whether the season has found its big bad.

Plus - Ben Standig covers the Commanders for the Athletic and he's here to answer all our questions regarding ownership, press releases, the QB situation, and more.

Commanders: 33:50

There was no encore for the Taylor Heinicke magic show, but the Commanders' defense kept them in the game.  Unfortunately, an untimely penalty and questionable decision making by the head coach resulted in a close loss at home to Kur(t) Cousins and the Vikings. Dalton, Rick, and Brendan are here to break it all down.

17:30 Fixins and torch snuffing

Ohhhhhhhh, boy. A lot to get to this week. We start by sharing thoughts on the latest episode of Survivor 43 as Dalton shares some intel he got from both Jeff Probst and the latest victim about what happened (and what COULD have happened) at that last Tribal Council. Plus, Rick and Dalton wonder: Does this season need a little spice? Listen in and see if you agree. Then, we turn to the HUGE news of the week that Dan Snyder may actually be selling the Washington Commanders. Could the greatest day in the history of DC sports finally be upon us, or is this just another thing to hopes up that will once again be dashed? We weigh in and then also get into a bit of a debate about the quarterback position (nothing new for this podcast, right, Brendan?) and make predictions for this week’s game against the Vikings. It’s everything you want, and then some. Time codes below!

The Washington football team wins ugly again and the guys couldn't be happier.
A lot fixin's to hand out as the Commanders come from behind to beat the Colts.  
And it wouldn't be Surviving Snyder if someone didn't get there torch snuffed... listen now to find out who heads to football Ponderosa.

Rick and Brendan recap a wild episode of Survivor. Merge episodes are always exciting, and this one's a doozy. An epic challenge, advantages galore, and one player breaks Survivor's cardinal rule. Plus, the guys preview this weekend's game against the struggling Colts and Brendan laments the Commanders' place on the hamster wheel of mediocrity.
