The Redskins year long home losing streak is finally over. But no one was at the stadium to see it.

The Redskins win. The Redskins WIN! by The Hog Sty

We discuss our reactions to the Monte Nicholson situation. Then we get into the Redskins upcoming game vs the Lions.

As Steve and Chris keep the home fires burning for John’s return they talk about the helmet brawl that enlivened an otherwise putrid game between the Browns and Steelers. Then they check in on the brawl between the NFL and Colin Kaepernick, who at the time of the recording were nit picking about every detail of his workout. Spoiker Alert: It only got weirder after they taped the show. The big takeaway, why did the NFL even do this? But the real teeth gnashing was saved for the 2019 Its Just Business punching bag, The NCAA. Under assault from all sides they showed their continued pettiness by suspending Ohio State football player Chase Young for accepting a small loan and Memphis basketball player James Wiseman for accepting help from Penny Hardaway to move his family. These might be violations, but why does the NCAA seem to relish punishing the small fish while protecting the larges institutions in the system? College sports needs a governing body, but the NCAA proves weekly they probably aren’t it. Can you say hubris?

Rick and Matt recap the Redskins loss to the Jets and other stories from the week.

The Redskins were hoping for an easier time vs the 2 win Jets. But sadly that was not the case as the Skins allowed one of the league's worst offenses to put up over 30 points. If this one was worth watching at all it was for the young players on offense and some hopes for the team's future.

The boys are back, well-rested from the bye week, and its time for Washington to face that other team from New York who actually plays in New Jersey. But we have a new starting QB for the rest of the year, so at least there is a reason to watch.

Rick Snider got a shiny new job at Sports Illustrated. There is a brewery in Harpers Ferry selling "sell the team" beer. The Trent Williams saga has come to an end for the year, now's when things will get ugly.

It's the bye week and with no game to look forward to we decided to take a look back at the first 1/2 of the season. Joined by our favorite guest from across the pond Mark Bullock, the X's and O's wiz we tell you what went wrong with the team this season, and what to look for going forward.

There looks to have been a major shift in the NCAA when it comes to player compensation, but how far away are student-athletes from actually getting compensated. Deadspin has finally lived up to their name as their entire staff just quit. And the Arena Football League looks like it will be no more... again.
