This week we discuss the schedule then talk about the Commanders draft picks. We finish this week talking about the OKC-MIN and NYK-IND finals. Old-guard star power is not there but the matchups should still be fun._____________________________Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Tons of storylines in the NBA playoffs this year. The Western Conference is full of superstars and intrigue. This week we call out our favorite teams and the ones we're hating on.

Laremy Tunsil, Deebo Samuel, Javon Kinloaw… the Commanders are making moves! Adams Peters is clearly putting meat to the bones of what was an overachieving, yet up-and-coming team.

A repeat Super Bowl that very few fans wanted to see. The Chiefs and Eagles face off this week. It's a potential legacy defining game for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. The Eagles come in with the most talent across the board. After Super Bowl talk we turn our sights on some players in the NFL the Commanders could courting for a trade in Myles Garrett and Cooper Kupp. We end talking about the blockbuster trade of Luka Doncic to the Lakers._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

The storybook season comes to a close. The Commanders lose in pretty embarrassing fashion to the Eagles. Tough way to end the season but a lot to love about what we have in Washington. This week we discuss the game, recap the season, and look forward to what Adam Peters and Dan Quinn can put together next year._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

The Magic continues for another week! The Commanders played one of their best games of the season in the biggest moment, knocking off the #1 seeded Detroit Lions in Detroit.

This week we discuss the game, Jayden's performance and the prospects of the playoffs._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Game of the year! Had to have it and Jayden delivered. Philly played without Jalen Hurts but the offense stole for Washington still showed up against the #1 defense in the NFL. This win puts the Commanders in the driver's seat for a playoff spot. This week we talk about the game and look ahead at a huge showdown against the Falcons on SNF._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

How do you react to that? The Commanders get out of New Orleans with a win. This team was coming off a bye and playing against back up QBs with the Saints and still the game came to the very end. A win is a win but if this team is going to contend they have to finish games. This week we discuss the game and look at the current playoff picture._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Finally, the offense is back! 42 points against the Titans was much needed for the Commanders. The team is 8-5 and back in the thick of things for a Wild Card spot. A bye week is upon us so it's time to heal up and look to make one final push for the playoffs. _____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

This week we have a therapy session and look forward to what this team needs to do to get things back on track._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Tough one in a hard fought game against the Steelers. Had the game up 27-21 until a deep touchdown pass from Russell Wilson on 3rd and 9. Then one inch away from a first down to keep a game-winning drive alive. The loss takes the Commanders to 7-3 on the season and coming up on the biggest game of the year against the Eagles. They have reinforcements coming but may have to wait one more week._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

It's an away win against the division rival Giants. We take it but it wasn't clean. Defense still not trustworthy and offense plays well. This week we discuss if Adam Peters and the Commanders need to make a move by the deadline. Big game on tap against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will give us a chance to see who this team is against a good team coming off a bye week. _____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

UN-BE-LIEVABLE! A magical moment for what could be a magical season. Jayden Daniels to Noah Brown with the 52-yd Hail Mary to beat the Chicago Bears. Doesn't get much better than that. This week we talk about where we all were when the moment happened. We breakdown the game and then talk about whether this team should still be aggressive in the trade market despite continuing to win._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Taking care of business was the name of the game in Week 7. Carolina may be the worst team in the NFL but this is a different Commanders team and they dominated from start to finish against a team they were supposed to dominate. A 40-7 smashing without Jayden Daniels. This week we discuss the game and spend the majority of the time talking about whether to play Jayden against Chicago in Week 8 or sit him for the future. We also end the podcast discussing some NBA as the season kicks off this week._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Tough one to lose in the Battle of the Beltway. The Commanders defense let the team down. Jayden showed up once again and that's what you love to see. This week we discuss the abysmal defense, Jayden's progression and we spend some time discussing rookie QBs and whether they should be starting in year 1 at all._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Blowout at home. Normally the Commanders would be on the receiving end of a blowout. Not this year. The offense and defense showed out for the home crowd. Through 5 games the team is 4-1 and starting to build some momentum. This week we discuss if it's time to start raising the expectations or wait and see._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Win is a win? 7 field goals vs. 3 touchdowns to win the game. Only time in NFL history that has happened. This week we discuss a similar Jayden Daniels performance to Week 1. The team won, but it's hard to feel much better than we did after Week 1._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

Not very good. The team gets blown out against the Bucs in Week 1. Bad performances on offense, defense and special teams. Not a time to panic but hard to find the silver lining. This week we discuss the game and what the team needs to do to get to .500 next week. _____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayCCheck out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc

In the biggest game of the season we got the typical 2023 Commanders performance, good offense with bad defense. Hard not to make this game (and the rest of the season) all about Sam Howell and his development. Howell showed at the end of this game that he is capable of developing. If the team has any hope this year it'll start this week against New York._____________________________ Intro & Outro: "Fast Life" (Shut Your Face Theme Song) by SanjayC Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/sanjayc
