The Hog Sty

The Commanders is now the name, but the hog sty will never change. Jamual, Steve and Alex break down the new name, new uniforms, and everything. And on the eve of congress’s “roundtable,” HBO has released a new slew of accusations from former employees.

We try to find the gas-line to baseball’s cold stove league but the lock out has everything on ice. New playoff formats? Different free agency rules? A higher luxury tax? Its all on the table. We stay in America’s old favorite past time and look at museum about baseball without Bonds, Clemens and the rest of the steroid era players. We also look at the WFT momentum in Virginia, the Arizona Coyotes playing in a 5k seat arena, and look at Netflix’s 4th quarter performance. What we are saying is, its an action packed episode!

A great series of games last week. The team celebrates the anniversary of the last time they were good.

We discuss the 1st round of the playoffs. Take a look at free-agent options at the tight end position. Discuss recent stories about the team.

We have a stable of good topics as we lead off with Steve reading the tea leaves for a Washington Football Team name in federal trademark filings. Next we marvel at the ratings rebound of the NFL and begrudgingly admit that the Cowboys being good is part of that. Have you ever been to the horse race track, because that is the stadium experience you can begin to expect in your NFL stadium experience over the next few years. We close updating a story we have tracked for years now and that is the inevitable sale of The Athletic. It turns out the buyer is the New York Times, do they have ESPN/Disney in their sights? Ask Adam Schefter.

We look back on how Washington's season went. Recap some of what Rivera and Mayhew talked about in their presser. And bash Deshaun Watson and his supporters.

Washington gets to 7 wins again this year, not a bad final result considering all the issues the team ended up having down the stretch.

Washington ends the season with a meaningless game thanks to a bad month. But the team has given hints to an exciting offseason.
