Kevin today on the turning of the Dan Snyder page. He also has recommended opening remarks for Josh Harris. The rest of Kevin and Andy Pollin’s conversation from yesterday as well.
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.
