Correct.
The WaPo sports desk was literally the epitome of sports journalism, and represented the highest possible levels of integrity and professionalism.
Bezos is an abject fool if he doesn't understand the enormous intangible value that it brought to the organization.

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

Sometimes I don't think Americans understand just how bad things have gotten in America.
I'm an Aussie who has spent a LOT of time in the US. I've worked in the US. I've travelled. I got married in the US.
Right now I wouldn't be allowed into America because I've made critical social media posts.

I think Al Harris could very easily end up getting the gig.
Dan Quinn has huge wraps on him. There's an existing familiarity. Also worked under Andy Reid in KC.

A few thoughts on recent #Commanders moves;
- Blough as OC is a risk, but massive upside. He's well-respected around the league.
- Stapleton as OL coach meshes perfectly with Blough. Watch for more zone-run schemes which he ran a lot at Florida.
- Flores my #1 pick for DC but not sure he's gettable

Good morning,
Apologies for no Commanders game coverage today.
As an Australian Jew, the Bondi shooting has affected me deeply. I had met at least one of the victims. I'm hoping it's not more.
I decided to stay in bed this morning and hug my daughters tight.

Everything about today has fucking sucked.
No sugar coating necessary.
If y'all have bailed on the game, no one can begrudge you.

Zach Ertz, after taking a dirty hit to his knees by Jay Ward, visibly emotional on the cart.
If that's the end of his career, he goes out a true legend, with the 5th most receptions by a Tight End in NFL history.

This is a dirty hit by Jay Ward (#24 Vikings) that has left Zach Ertz down on the field and needing assistance from the trainers to leave the field.
No place for this on the football field. Disgusting play.

Based on current and likely results around the league, at the end of this week of football the #Commanders will likely be sitting with the 5th overall pick in the 2026 #NFLDraft.

Strongly agree.
The management of injured players this year has been terrible. I don't know if that's a medical staff thing or coaching or a mix. But they seem to have no feeling for if a guy is ready or not.
December 7, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Strongly agree.
December 7, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Looks like Daniels is done for the day and Mariota will be the QB for the rest of the game.
It is not a 'hindsight is 20/20' situation to say that everyone (including me) who said that Jayden Daniels shouldn't have played today has been vindicated.
Huge risk. Minimal upside.

Jayden Daniels intercepted on 4th down on the tipped pass and today is officially a disaster for an inept-looking #Commanders team on both sides of the football.

Almost disaster.
Jayden Daniels sacked and stripped and the Vikings recover the ball, BUT the Vikings are flagged for 12 men on the field and the play doesn't count.
Yikes.
