A special Patriots Day episode of D.T.C. remembering all those impacted by 9/11 here in DC and beyond. The Nationals have won the NL East for the fourth time in six years and all eyes now turn to the postseason! The Nats didn’t just take care of business, they did in historical fashion locking up the NL East in record time (fastest in 15 years) and well, who cares that the NL East is historically bad, we are going to the playoffs! Stevie and Joe talk all things Nats including how amazing Trea Tu...

The Eagles came into FEDEX and beat the Redskins today and Stevie and Joe are not happy about it! The Skins offense started slow (again) and well, never really found their groove. The running game struggled, special teams too, however the defense was a positive bright spot... at least Joe thinks so. Philly Pete joins the duo to break down the game as we turn our attention to week 2. (photo credit: CSN)

FP is pissed that Sua has left the team and Stevie doesn't really care but thinks the timing is really bad. LP thinks everyone is basing their assessments of Cravens on potential and the desire to find the next Sean Taylor (RIP 21)... The DTC crew in typical Redskins-fan style lower their expectations after a poor preseason heading into Week 1. Is the team collapsing under the weight of fan expectations or are fans just expecting too much? That and many other questions were asked of Cody Benjami...

Fantasy Football Season is here! The DTC boys are joined by David, 20, and Razzle to execute a mock six-round 10-team PPR draft with Joe and Stevie providing color commentary along the way. FP, LP, David, 20, and Razzle each drafted two teams and the results were mixed. FP put together two solid rosters while LP, David, and Razzle, put together one strong and one average roster. 20 however ended up with two really bad rosters... but that's ok, because every league has one of "those guys" right? ...

Steve, LP, and Joe break down the first half action and debate whether or not to watch the second half. What a disaster the first half as been for our beloved Redskins... no running game, bad passing game, and a pick-six to top things off. What is wrong with the Redskins!? LP still believes and is convinced this is just preseason "vanilla" gameplanning but Stevie and Joe are in full panic mode... actually Joe just wants to talk about the Mayweather fight... tune in, get caught up, and fingers cr...

Well, Kyrie is a Celtic, and Crowder is a Cavalier, and that means the Wizards will win the Eastern Conference this season! LP and Joe break down all the details of the trade and project forward about how the Wizards actually improved by default by doing nothing! Boston has now traded five of their top seven scorers from last year and their three best perimeter defenders while acquiring more offensive firepower with Hayward and Irving. The Cavaliers however now have some insurance parts in place...

Stevie, FP, Joe, and special guest Anthony (the Nats Stat Authority) sit down to talk about the red-hot Nationals bullpen and debate how much credit Mike R deserves for adjusting/trading on the fly (1m-5m). The Nationals are still missing key players but they are getting closer to a full "stud" lineup (6m-11) and Dusty continues to work his magic with the roster day in and day out (11m-14). Harper will take his time returning but they really don't need him against the impressive Astros do they (...

The Redskins came out of the gate flat in week one of the NFL preseason. Another week of practice, more defined expectations and the hope for a successful first drive are things we want to see week two against Greenbay. LP and FP dive into what to watch for in week two and discuss their expectations. Both FP and LP list their top 4 things to watch, Greg Manusky, Nico Marley, Ryan Grant all make the list. Will the offense be able to move the ball? Will the defense be able to contain the Green Bay...

FP, LP, Stevie, and Joe are all back to talk Redskins... a whole lot of Redskins. The Redskins came out flat against the Ravens (:1-:930) and the guys wonder why and if Training Camp has something to do with it (:11-:14). The slow starts are problematic and have becoming a defining negative feature of Jay Gruden's tenure (:15-:23) so the fellas offer a few suggestions to get the team out of the gate with a bang to start the season. The schedule isn't ideal for the Skins this year (:24-:31) with ...

The Nationals can't seem to get everything going in the same direction at the same time. Star pitcher goes down, bullpen improves, drop a bunch of games on the road, weather delays, and now Bryce goes down!! Stevie and Joe catch-up on all things Nats with an eye towards the playoffs and when the team may get all of its parts back ahead of the postseason push. As of now, Nats fans rest assured that the injury which looked season ending in real-time may only be a few weeks in duration... but let's...

So much happened in this week's episode that we expanded the commentary circle to get more fan insight! What role will Gendry play moving forward with his awesome battle axe?! Where is Yuron Greyjoy?

With just a few (long) episodes left in this season, what do you expect to happen next? D, Sam, Peter, 20, Stevie, and Joe break it all down this week! Tune in, like, and share! (Phot...

It finally happened... the dragons have taken flight and chaos has won. This may have been the shortest episode at just 50 minutes long but the plot lines of several main characters didn't just inch forward, they leaped ahead! The Stark family reunion continues, Cersei's plotting continues, Jon's negotiations to join forces to fight the night-walkers continues, and Daenery's finally unleashes the dragons! Sam, Deena, and Joe talk all things GoT including what may amount to a colossal fail on beh...

The Nationals have dropped a few games but Mad Max is hitting homers now and several guys are getting very very close to returning to the active roster and daily lineup. FP, Stevie, and Joe talk Nationals bullpen, trades, hitting, NL East lead, and Dodgers and Cubs too in an all-Nationals 12min blitz of content (1-12m) before they pivot to the Redskins (13-21m) and end with a discussion about the Verizon Center's potential new name and Joe shares his thoughts on Neymar moving from Barca to PSG (...

While the Mother of Dragons and Tyrion believe they have have authored the perfect battle plan to rebound from Yara Greyjoy's defeat last week the tables turn yet again as Jamie and Cersei prove yet again they are capable of outsmarting their brother. This episode had a little bit of everything and a lot of interesting twists and tidbits to dive deeper into. Casterly Rock may have fallen to Grey Worm but Yuron has the last laugh yet again while we say goodbye to another beloved character in Olen...

On the eve of training camp 2017 LP and FP are live discussing the late breaking news about Jordan Reed going on the PUP list and jump into expectations for all three units of the team with a focus on the offense. The running backs will have more on their plates if Reed is to miss any extended amount of time but there may be enough fire-power on the team that all will be well down the stretch towards the playoff push. Part one is all us but stay tuned for part two with Redskins insider Manny Ben...

With news of Kirk not getting his extension this episode focuses on the men charged with protecting him along with the men in the trenches on defense. LP and FP are bullish on both units but especially the rookies. Is the OL one of the best in the league? Is the DL improved even with noticeable losses during free agency? How much does scheme factor into unit success? Tune in and find out and Hail to the Redskins! (photo credit: Redskins.com)

The 2017 season may be the last one for Kirk Cousins under center for the Washington Redskins. The team failed to reach an agreement with their rising star Quarterback and everything is now in place for him to leave next off-season, should he choose to. Joe and Stevie discuss all the happenings of the past few days, from Bruce Allen's press conference (2:00 - 12:30), to Kirk Cousins joining 106.7 to share his side of the story (13:45 - 20:30), and then offer the fans perspective on what will com...

Winter has come. Season 7 has arrived. Joe, Steve, Beef, and special guest John discuss the premiere and their rapid-reaction to an episode that underwhelmed a bit but delivered a lot of information. The foursome agreed that the opening may have been one of the best scenes in the entire show and that there is a lot going on at the Citadel that hadn't been discussed previously but this episode was ultimately about two women, one standing on a map, the other taking her first look at one that are o...

Well, the fight that nobody expected to actual take place is on the books and just about one month away.

The Redskins are engaged in a game of high-stakes chicken with their franchise QB Kirk Cousins and LP and Joe are terrified to ask what the future holds for the franchise. The show was supposed to be about the OL/DL but quickly got sideways and into the Cousins contract status, why management is unlikely to get a deal done, and a discussion of the backup options Bruce Allen may be preparing to explore. Once upon a time LP was 99% sure the Skins would get a long term deal done with Kirk... he has...

This show is all basketball... lots and lots of basketball! The NBA offseason is complete insanity. How can average players be paid so much guaranteed money on these short and long term deals? Hint: The ESPN TV contract has everything to do with it. These bloated salaries are happening because ESPN overpaid for the rights to broadcast the NBA and this postseason didn't help! But teams have big decisions to make too... What will the Wizards do about RFA Otto Porter? Does Gordon Hayward nudge the ...

This episode of the D.T.C. Redskins Roster Report (Triple R) is focused on two positions that didn't change much this offseason... at least as far as the starters go. The TE position continues to be anchored by Jordan Reed but can he survive an entire season? Will the next injury he sustains push him towards retirement? Can Vernon Davis be trusted as a pass catcher? The Redskins did add some depth at the position but carrying four TE's is risky. The corner back position is a different story as t...

Derek Carr just signed a 5 year $125m deal with the Raiders with only $40m guaranteed and in an instant every Redskins fan asked themselves the same exact question... "Isn't Kirk worth at LEAST the same?!" Steve and Joe debate what Kirk is worth on the open market verses what he is worth to this Redskins team with this staff and this roster in the historical context of Washington DC sports plus the duo offer a few thoughts on the 1991 Redskins team (30m) which was recently hailed as the best in ...
