Podcast by The Hog Sty
With Washington stuck in a holding pattern on the coaching front we focus in on the NFL playoffs.
Washington's two rivals are out of the playoffs in round one. Adam Peters hits the ground running.
Washington starts its first honest hunt for a general manager in 30+ years.
We talk about the coming GM search & top candidates. Recap SF (briefly) and the final game of the year vs Dallas.
Wow we got a whole 16 weeks before officially getting back on the QB merry go round.
We finally have replaced Cam Cheeseman, and now all the holes in the Commander's roster are fixed. We recap and preview the Rams and Jets games respectively. Rashard Mendenhall did his best attempt to set race relations back 30 years.
The Commanders lose several key defensive players. We start looking at the team's salary cap situation.
Jon Allen wants out? The defense is a mess. The offense isn't much better. At least they can't lose this weekend.
My advice, focus on your family and the food this Thursday and not the game.
Sam Howell may lead the league in yardage but is that a misconceiving stat line? Washington lost to Seattle and gets ready for NY
The Rebuild Is On Washington trades away 2 star players, was it the right move?
Get out your paper bags of shame and your pitchforks, the fans are turning on Rivera.
Down their host Steve and Dave press on to discuss the mess that was the Commanders loss to the Bears.
The commanders beat the Eagles… oh no wait they didn't so why are so many acting like they did?
This shows an episode of all rough topics, a shellacking that was and one that may come to pass
Lets all calm down about the RFK news, this was just one step on a flight of stairs. The Commanders had a truly epic win last week but now gear up for one of the NFL's elite teams.
We give our season predictions. Washington gears up for a mess of an Arizona team.
We talk about our thoughts on the Commanders full preseason, and their final 53 man roster. Take a look at the stupid new Rivera “controversy”.
Recap of the Commanders “big win” vs the Ravens. Alex's 2023 stadium and food review. Oh no we cut the backup punter?!
Sam Howell performed well in their 1st pre season game. And has had an interesting week in their chippy practices against the Ravens.
Ron Rivera stepped in something at the press conference, and it wasn't chocolate. The team made some front office moves that fans won't care about but are a potentially big deal. We talk a little bit about the pre-season game. The weird astro turf campaign for the commanders name change got exposed for what it is a little.
Description: As the NCAA conference system folded around us, we discussed the moves, issues, and maybe some solutions. Can you see Tiger Woods as the commissioner of whatever professional golf? Well, he can, and he has moved a step closer by joining the PGA as a player board member. We never tire of checking in with the MacMahon Family of the WWE, and with a federal search of the corporate offices, it's getting spicy! Articles we discussed: Sources: Oregon, Washington to Join Big Ten, Leave Pac-12 by Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) Tiger Woods joins PGA Tour board as Saudi deal talks continue by Lillian Rizzo (@Lilliannnn) & Jessica Golden (@JGolden5) WWE boss Vince McMahon hit with federal grand jury subpoena and search warrant, company reveals by Dan Mangan (@_DanMangan) Follow and chat with us on Twitter at @justbusinesspod
It's Alex's favorite show of each year as we talk special teams, and recap training camp.
There's Joy In Washington! Harris takes over the franchise, training camp begins. What do we think of the interior O-Line
The day many people thought would never come, arrived last week. Dan Snyder is out as owner of the NFL Team that plays in Washington. We look at how we got here, what the Harris Ownership Group needs to do next and generally react to all that is the most expensive pro sports team in US history. We wrap up looking at Disney's attempts to sell, lease, license or otherwise leverage their assets with the letters ESPN. IJB will be moving to it's own stream, please be on the look out for it on your podcast app of choice.
Power point fails again as it turns out Dan tried to “blackmail” the NFL via a slide presentation. There's a little movement on the RFK front. We break down the tight ends group.
We live in an era of endless streaming wars. In this episode, we check in with venture capital investments in sports media, on air talent layoffs at ESPN, and other casualties. Next up, are more sports franchises on the move and what cities are doing to court them. We finish with the depressing news that Tom Brady will continue to be in our lives but we laugh at his legal crypto foibles.
How long will it take Josh Harris to turn Washington around into a consistent team? How bad is this offensive line? We take a look at the tackles to find out.
Not a lot of big NFL stories so we hop from small topic to small topic until we talk Comanders Corners
We recap a week that saw Leonsis, Qatar, Joe Gibbs, The Orioles and more factor in a busy off the field/court/ice action for all things D.C. Will we be talking Ted vs Josh for the next 20 years? We wrap with a check in with the Oakland to Vegas sports franchise express.
With Alex out on vacation for another week, Dave and Steve discuss Josh Harris' investment into Joe Gibbs Racing, the latest in Washington stadium rumors, Kareem Hunt-to-Washington rumors, what we feel is the key to Washington's success in 2023, and do a Position Group Breakdown on Washington's quarterback group.
With Alex out, Dave and Steve tackle the latest in Washington's ownership situation, issues involving Fed Ex Field and a new stadium for Washington, a hypothetical trade for Chase Young, and do this week's Position Group Breakdown on linebackers.
We look at the general move of Saudi Arabian money into international sports. First up is the surprise merger/buy out/agreement (who knows yet) between LIV Golf and the PGA. From there we look at implications for the NBA, NFL and other sports. MLS and the the Miami squad recently out maneuvered the Saudis in luring Messi to spend his golden years playing in the USA. It's going to be a bidding war with many battlefronts!
I am not sure but we go completely off the rails on this episode.
The coaches are getting created with Sam Howell at practice, good news about Forbes so far. Congrats to Shannon Sharp.
Building on Steve's recent columns detailing the bizarre saga of Brian Davis' attempt to buy the Commanders we go deep into Yamashita's Gold, administratrix, bank drafts, and Ferdinand Marcos. Back to the semi-sane world we introduce you to the Raiders new President Sandra Douglas Morgan. Morgan is career gambling industry professional and is now running an NFL team. Where and how will you watch Big 10 and PAC 12 games this Fall? Well that's TBD….
Well. Mid show we stop ourselves when we realize that there's a level of crazy to this Brian Davis story that no one is talking about, why? Because this looks like cult money. We also talk training camp, Josh Harris, and the trademark. It's a packed show.
We preview the rosters RB room. The NFL schedule was released. Some interesting tidbits int he ESPN story about the Harris teams prospectus
Right from the jump we talk about the Harris/Snyder exclusive contract. What that means, where we might be going. Maybe start icing the champagne? A bevy of new NFL media deals have made the upcoming season a funhouse maze of new rules and commitments. Let's try to make sense of it together. We wrap with a look at Punter bad boy Pat McAfee and his fast exit from FanDuel and maybe ESPN.
The NFL's finance committee is saying it may take longer to look into the Harris deal due to a lot of unusual factors including all the owners, but they also admit that they would do anything to get rid of Dan Snyder. We break down the Safety position group.
The NFL has taken quick action the last two years with players gambling on the NFL or in NFL facilities. Hypocrites? A brewing issue? The cost of doing business? Lamar Jackson bet on himself and just signed a huge (but not fully guaranteed) deal to stay a Raven. We post-mortem that whole mishegoss. The long feud between the Orioles and Nationals about broadcast rights and rules on MASN might be coming closer to ending with a recent decision in favor of the Nationals. What comes next, has the feud outlived the patriarchs that started them? The NBA is taking potential macroeconomic headwinds to cut staff and other spending. We proclaim the NBA healthy, but environmental conditions could have an impact.
The NFL draft is upon us, and while I think most of the fanbase is in agreement that the number one need is to fix the o-line. No one really has any idea what Rivera and team are really planning? The trio here give their top few picks and some players they would like to see Washington target. Hint, its a lot of line, tight end, linebackers, ect.
