Hail To The District Podcast

The HTTD podcast finally returns, with a special look at the 2023 NFL Draft. Specifically, Rajan and John project which player will be taken at each of the first 10 picks, and analyze the available betting odds for prospects at each of the 10 picks. They also review a whole bunch of the available prop bets as well. Highlights include: making a wager on a QB or a defensive player at #2 (7:20), which team will trade with Arizona for #3 overall and for which player (12:23), the tasty odds to avoid with Seattle's pick at #5 (19:38), the intriguing prospects and hedge bet for Atlanta's pick at #8 (29:15), the fascinating options and tantalizing odds for Philadelphia's pick at #10 (40:10), one our favorite under-the-radar live bets on Draft night (58:55), which position do the Washington Commanders address in Round 1 (1:05:59), and the "gimme bet" of Anthony Richardson being selected before Will Levis (1:25:08).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice joined up and looked back at Washington's putrid performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Their conversation includes: Ron Rivera's "Year 3" mantra looking like a complete joke (2:37); Carson Wentz's disastrous performance (4:57) and the horrid performance by the offensive line (8:47); and a systemic failure by the entire offense (15:40). They highlight the only three players who showed up for Washington (22:48) including Jamin Davis possibly having his best game in Washington (28:47). Finally, they discuss if the mismanaged roster construction is coming back to bite us (34:10) and if Ron Rivera has officially reached "hot seat" status and what it will take for him to worry about his job (39:32).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati drops a solo episode, recapping Washington's loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. First, he discusses how Detroit's game plan to relentlessly pressure Carson Wentz and Washington's offensive line clearly worked as intended (2:10). Then on to the main course: screaming about the continued incompetence of Jack Del Rio as a defensive coordinator (6:56) and Rajan's unending hatred of Bobby McCain (9:29). He ends the episode identifying the handful of key plays that spelled doom for Washington (12:45), and preparing for the looming disaster of facing the offense of the Philadelphia Eagles (17:20).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice excitedly convene to discuss the Washington Commanders' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. Their conversation includes: the joy (and relief) of seeing so much depth and diversity from the offensive skill positions (1:55), Antonio Gibson rewriting the gloom-filled narratives around him this preseason (11:46), Washington's first experience of the rollercoaster of emotions from Carson Wentz (17:37), DaRon Payne's "man child" performance (34:07), Jamin Davis' "outhouse" performance (41:35), and whether Washington can go to 2-0 after playing Detroit next week (52:25).

In Part 2 of the 2022 season preview for the professional football team in Washington, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice take a bit of a detour from the original plan, doing a walkthrough of Commanders' 2022 schedule and providing their final win-loss projections. Coversation highlights include: the slightly unorthodox nature of this episode (0:33), if the best team in the entire NFC resides in the NFC East (11:32), the potential buzz about Carson Wentz's return to Indianapolis (21:39), if Ron Rivera's success in November will manifest yet again (27:58), Rivera "playing possum" with key players to protect their season-long health (33:08), finally having (very) meaningful football taking place in DC in December and January (38:38), and the "friendly opposing quarterbacks" schedule that Washington has this year (47:34).

With the advent of the 2022 NFL season, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene for their annual two-part preview of the professional football team in Washington (now known as the Commanders). In Part 1, they discuss the defense. They start with the secondary, including Rajan's irrational disdain for one of Washington's starters at the spot (3:03) and the top heavy but thin-on-depth cornerback spot (10:57). Next up is linebacker, in which they discuss the baffling trend of that position remaining the worst group on the team (22:40). Then they move onto the defensive line, talking about Montez Sweat being primed for a monster season after all the adversity he dealt with last year (33:17), DaRon Payne (maybe) still having long-term potential to remain in Washington as he also looks primed for a huge year (37:38), and if former defensive line coach Sam Mills was the reason that Matt Ioannidis left Washington. Finally, they wrap things up with a discussion of the lack of schematic diversity from Jack Del Rio (aka Dustup Del Rio aka MAGA Jack), and whether he finds himself on the hot seat at the end of the 2022 season (47:02).

After something of a winter hiatus, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene to provide their thoughts on each of the selections made by the Washington Commanders in the 2022 NFL Draft. They review each pick in reverse chronological order, starting with the Day 3 picks, then Day 2 picks, and finally Washington's first round pick in Jahan Dotson from Penn State.

HTTD's Patrick Rice provides his reaction to the official reveal of the new name "Washington Commanders." Said discussion includes his thoughts on the final name choice, the logo selected, and the crest; his preferred abbreviation for the team name; how and why he suddenly feels like he's rooting for an expansion team; and the only way this name change, in general, can be successful.

In the first podcast of 2022, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice briefly discuss the Washington Football Team's second loss to the Philadelphia Eagles this season, before taking a step back and focusing on the big-picture questions that continue to remain for Washington.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene to provide their thoughts on the Washington Football Team extending its current winning streak to four games, after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati goes solo in recapping the Washington Football Team's win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene to revel in the Washington Football Team's incredible win over the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They revel in the unbelievable 4th quarter drive that spanned 80 yards over 19 plays taking up 10:26 in time of possession (4:06), and discuss the standout performance by the much-maligned defense (16:12), what the performance by quarterback Taylor Heinicke last Sunday means for him going forward (31:16), and Ron Rivera's "rematch" against Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers this weekend (39:17).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati is re-joined by John F. to together lament about the Washington Football Team's loss against the Green Bay Packers. They discuss: the defense not being the major source of blame for the loss (1:26), Washington not being able to score points against Green Bay's defense -- including their historically-bad red zone defense (4:18), the perfect storm of problems on Washington's offense (7:22), Taylor Heinicke's shortcomings becoming increasingly magnified (12:03), the lack of quarterback talent in the 2022 NFL Draft (18:42), and the uninspiring names that could be available for Washington to upgrade the quarterback in the offseason (26:59).

With the 2021-2022 NBA season tipping off, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati brings back John and Neel for their annual preview podcast.

After the daily (self-inflicted) PR disasters that have emerged out of Ashburn this week, headlined by the Sean Taylor jersey-retirement fiasco, HTTD's Patrick Rice perfectly sums up the anguish of being a fan of the Washington Football Team fan, as owner Daniel Snyder continues to destroy this once-beloved franchise.

In Part 1 of HTTD's two-part recap pod(s) for this week, a fired up Rajan Nanavati lays into the abysmal performance on defense by the Washington Football Team. He discusses the incompetent play -- and players -- on defense (1:35), the alarming breakdowns during the loss against the New Orleans Saints (7:31), and the looming massacre at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs (11:55).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reunite one day after the Washington Football Team's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Their recap conversation starts with the continually-growing excitement that comes from Taylor Heinicke at quarterback (0:52) and why there's potential to see him continue to evolve (10:24). They also discuss the integral roles of Antonio Gibson and JD McKissic on offense (19:26). From there, they discuss the rightfully maligned defense (23:00), including whether it's time to declare the need to make a change at defensive coordinator (24:52), the continued horrid play from the linebacker position (27:29), whether it's time to reduce the amount of playing time given to Landon Collins (29:10), and the effects of the scrutiny being applied to Chase Young (37:00). Finally, they provide their predictions for the game against New Orleans next week, especially in the context of the brutally-difficult remaining schedule (48:40).

While HTTD's Pat Rice and Rajan Nanavati weren't able to sync up for their usual weekly post-game podcast, both of them wanted (or needed) to get plenty of things off their respective chests, after the Washington Football Team's embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice convened for a late-night postgame podcast immediately following the Washington Football Team's defeat of the New York Giants. Their free-flowing, unplanned conversation covers Washington's porous performance on defense, the poorly-coached New York Giants, Terry McLaurin proving to be a stud (yet again), and Taylor Heinicke himself proving to be QB1 for the Washington Football Team.

After (unintentionally) giving themselves a day to cool off after the Washington Football Team's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in the opening game of the 2021 season, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice convene to provide their thoughts on the game. They discuss: whether the Chargers were that good or Washington was that bad -- or both (1:15), if this was one of the worst performances by Washington's entire coaching staff (8:00), the struggles by different parts of the offensive line throughout the game (22:00), the jolt of "lightning" that Taylor Heinecke provided when he entered (28:52), the one significant concern about Heinecke being the official starting quarterback (35:56), and a quick look-ahead to Thursday's game against the New York Giants (44:14).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati is joined by John F. to provide their thoughts and picks for over/under win totals for the AFC and NFC teams (with a particular focus on the latter). They discuss: their biggest lock prediction (3:38) and favorite division championship bets in the AFC (8:06), if the hometown favorite Washington Football Team should be considered the favorite in the NFC East (9:33), if the NFC North (35:23) and NFC South (51:35) are runaways for the current favorites, and which teams will meet or beat their projected win totals in the NFC West (1:18:16).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene for Part 2 of their 2021 season preview for the Washington Football Team, as they discuss the main storylines on offense. Said storylines include: the offensive line certainly being deeper but not necessarily better than last year's group (2:57), if we should expect any "growing pains" from rookie offensive lineman Sam Cosmi (11:20), Washington having one of its most versatile and dangerous groups of pass catchers in years (19:46), Terry McLaurin being an absolute stud of a wide receiver (22:22), sneaky potential at the backup tight end spot behind Logan Thomas (32:39), Antonio Gibson being a bona fide top-10 running back in the NFL (38:24), the expected roller coaster-ride with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback (48:28), and official win-loss predictions for the 2021 WFT (1:00:32).

The conversation topics include: the depth and versatility of the secondary (4:02) headlined by a newly-rejunvenated and on-a-mission Landon Collins (24:13), what to expect from the linebacker position (31:10) and Jamin Davis' rookie season (36:55), and how the under-discussed return of Matt Ioannidis (43:37) plus the continued brilliance of Chase Young (49:21) firmly cements Washington's defensive line as one of the very best in the league.

After a few weeks of summer break for the HTTD podcast, Rajan Nanavati gets the pod going against with a two-part episode. In Part 1, he talks to Sheil Kapadia of TheAthletic about the 2021 edition of the Washington Football Team (3:40).

They talk about the Wizards having roster flexibility and assets after trading away Russell Westbrook (30:17), the entire framework of the offseason being about keeping Bradley Beal in DC (39:40), what Wes Unseld Jr. brings to the table as the new head coach (45:57), and where Washington ranks in an increasingly-competitive Eastern Conference (58:51).

In Part 2 in their recap of the selections made by the Washington Football Team in the 2021 NFL Draft, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice discuss the team's picks in Rounds 2 through 7, plus its lone undrafted free agent acquisition. Specifically, they talk(ed) about: Ron Rivera clearly building the WFT around his long-term vision (2:45), the undersized but highly-productive Jarett Patterson being a legit possibility to make the team (9:43), 7th round picks Shaka Toney and William Bradley-King potentially having a "Day 1" impact (24:28), the freakish athletic profile plus special teams awesomeness of safety Darrick Forrest (35:04), John Bates being a deep sleeper-type pick in the fourth round (40:52), third-round pick Dyami Brown making Washington's offense that much more potentially lethal (48:41), the boom-or-bust "project" pick that is cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (1:02:17), and why Samuel Cosmi was an excellent value pick being overlooked through mostly no fault of his own (1:12:42).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice break down the Washington Football Team's selection of linebacker Jamin Davis from the University of Kentucky. The conversation includes: the potential of Washington drafting quarterback Justin Fields (2:32), Davis being the guy that Ron Rivera was targeting all along (7:08), the freakish profile that Davis presents (15:16), Rivera further establishing a certain culture in Washington with the addition of Davis (23:24), the current NFL players to whom Davis best compares (30:46), grading the selection of Davis and potential flaws/red flags he presents. (34:56), and other 'winners' in Round 1 of the NFL Draft and certainly teams making "panic" picks (45:15).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice crack open a few cold adult beverages to celebrate HTTD's 100th podcast episode, and provide their thoughts on the signings made by the Washington Football Team in free agency. They discuss: the guys they consider their headliner and/or favorite free agent acquisitions (2:05), the upgrades at the cornerback and wide receiver positions (14:54), the roller-coaster ride that is (or will be) Ryan Fitzpatrick (25:51), thoughts on the top quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft and by which team they'll be selected (39:45), and the current leaders in the clubhouse for Washington's top pick in the upcoming Draft (50:28).

They discuss: the top priority positions for the team to upgrade (1:56), a couple of free agent options at WR and TE (5:28), their thoughts on the quotes by Alex Smith in the recent interview published by GQ Magazine (17:41), if Sam Darnold has any potential salvage value here in DC (25:38), whether the team could roll with Kyle Allen and/or Taylor Heinecke next season (42:56), and why Marcus Mariota is an intriguing option for Washington at QB (48:35).

In the conclusion of HTTD's 2021 Offseason Preview for the Washington Football team, Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice discuss what the WFT could (or will) do to address the quarterback position. That includes the possibility of a Deshaun Watson trade (1:26), a semi-heated debate about acquiring one of the two quarterbacks from the Las Vegas Raiders (5:07), whether they should take a chance on Sam Darnold of the New York Jets (12:40), and scenarios for Washington taking a quarterback early in the 2021 NFL Draft (19:07).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice return for Part 2 of their 2021 Offseason Preview for the Washington Football team, discussing the team's second and third biggest need to address this offseason: the wide receiver and linebacker spot(s). They discuss the current group of Washington linebackers (4:17), potential upgrades via free agency at the position (10:46), and their respective favorite linebackers in the NFL Draft for Washington (25:38). At wide receiver, they again talk about the state of the current group (31:35), their top preferences among the premier free agent options (41:55), and potential options -- or lack thereof -- in the NFL Draft (53:52).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice return for the first of a 2-episode series, previewing the top needs the Washington Football Team needs to address in the 2021 NFL offseason.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice take joy in an otherwise ugly victory by the Washington Football Team against the Philadelphia Eagles, earning an NFC East division championship for Washington. In this episode, they discuss: Washington coming out on the winning end of a miserable football game and making no apologies about it (1:44), New York Giants having no right to whine and complain about the Eagles "tanking" this game (8:11), Chase Young having yet another game-changing performance to help Washington win (19:09), Scott Turner calling another stink bomb of a game offensively (27:19), how much -- if anything -- we can expect moving forward with a clearly debilitated Alex Smith against Tampa Bay (38:23), and why Ron Rivera unquestionably deserves to win the 2020 NFL Coach of the Year Award (45:21).

Dwayne Haskins' putrid performance in the Washington Football Team's loss against the Carolina Panthers left HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice fired up and fed up with the quarterback and the team's performance overall.

HTTD's Pat Rice looks back at the fact that the Washington Football Team made no moves at the 2020 NFL Trade Deadline, and tells you why that's a good thing. And as Pat will tell you, It was very unlikely that any team would surrender anything of value to the WFT players most often brought up in trade rumors.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati examines the news of Ryan Kerrigan of the Washington Football Team (allegedly)requesting a trade. Did Kerrigan really request a trade? If so, should Washington trade him?
