Kevin opened the show by answering a tweet that asked Kevin if he thinks Sam Howell “deserves” the chance to be the 2023 Week 1 starter. Kevin was then joined by Andy Pollin on the eve of what should be an owner vote to ratify Josh Harris as the new owner of the Washington Commanders tomorrow in Minneapolis. The boys looked back on the 24-year Snyder disaster and looked forward to the Harris era.
Kevin and Thom today talking about the final days of Snyder. The boys discussed the Washington Post report that the NFL Finance Committee has approved the Josh Harris deal and that Snyder and the league have resolved their legal issues. Snyder also met with Mary Jo White according to the Post report. Now comes a vote on Thursday and the closing of the purchase shortly thereafter. The guys talked about the moment they knew Snyder as an owner had doomed the franchise. They also discussed where the Snyder exit ranks among the most important DC “non-game” sports stories. Some Ohtani and Thom’s Hemingway “Look-Alike” contest prep was part of the show as well.
Kevin today on the beginning of a week that should mark the last for Dan Snyder as owner of the Washington Commanders. Kevin also played and discussed Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes’ comments over the weekend about losing Eric Bieniemy. Legendary Washington Post reporter/editor Len Shapiro jumped on with Kevin to talk about covering Snyder during the early days. During their conversation, Shapiro mentioned that before his passing, Jack Kent Cooke was considering changing the name of the team.
Kevin opened with some NFL talk and then he got to the Netflix “Quarterback” series updating his discussion about Eric Bieniemy from yesterday. Steve Czaban jumped on to talk about the end of Dan Snyder and more.
Kevin opened with thoughts on the Washington Post story that described ‘snags’ that could complicate Dan Snyder’s sale of the Commanders to Josh Harris. He also shared his big Commanders-related takeaway from the Netflix series “Quarterback”. Then it was Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo jumping on as a guest. Ben Standig/The Athletic followed.
Kevin and Thom today on the Don Van Natta/Seth Wickersham ESPN story on how the Jon Gruden email leaks doomed Dan Snyder. As the boys have surmised since late 2021, Snyder’s probable self-sabotaging leaks of the Gruden emails to the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times was the beginning of the end for his ownership. The guys reacted to the story blow-by-blow. They also discussed the Commanders’ twitter direct message to another twitter account about its name (Washington Redskins) and handle (@washredskinsnfl). The boys talked some MLB All-Star game, followed up on Kevin’s conversation yesterday with Jay Gruden, and celebrated Joe Jacoby’s presence as an NFL Hall of Fame Senior Committee Semi-finalist.
