Could the end be near for Commanders owner Dan Snyder after leaked reports show ticket sales were padded and not disclosed to the other NFL owners? What if the team moves to London, could another team be relocated to DC? Plus, remembering #7 and a quick chat about the Capitals and how they remind Joe of old guys playing basketball stringing together wins by outsmarting the competition. Listen now as FP and Joe discuss it all and remember you can live tweet the show anytime from any social media ...

“FP and LP discuss their favorite time of year. Free agency shuffle and the QB carousel. Did the Commanders do the smart move? Which teams improved or got worse? With the AFC exodus is the NFC wide open and ready for Washington to TAKE COMMAND?

The Commanders will have a new face of the franchise at the start of next season and it will be Carson Wentz! After weeks of back and forth about trading for Watson, or Rodgers (never), or Wilson (ha!), the Comms landed Wentz for a very reasonable asking price from the Colts... but why so cheap? Stevie, Joe, and FP go through all the events of the past few days and grade the Comms on their new acquisition... but what happens next, specifically what do they do with the 11th overall pick? It's bee...

Stevie and Joe are on the mics and are ready to talk about everything post-NFL. Should the Saudi's standup a rival to the PGA? Can the NBA ever recapture the magic of the early 2000s east/west all-star game and dunk contests? What does a real offer to Juan Soto look like if you are the Nationals + Zim's legacy is sealed in DC.

Stevie, Razzle, and Joe are on the mics to discuss the Super Bowl and recap the game, the big plays, the missed plays, the coaching and everything in between. The boys also break down the half-time show and debate which performer should have been left out. What happens now that football is over? Do we prioritize the Wizards or the Capitals?... will baseball ever return?

The NBA is nuts. The NBA trade deadline was extra nuts. The Wizards didn't trade Brad. ALSO.... It's Super Week and the boys are ready to make their pics! Stevie and Razzle are on the RAMS and Joe is on the Bengals... but there is a lot of confusion about who might be MVP and over/under QB rushing yards as a prop bet too. The boys also debate if this is the beginning of the end for Dan in DC and break down hyper inflation and the housing market because why not... tune in!

The Redskins became the Football Team and have now become the Commanders. The name isn't terrible but why did it seem the organization was unprepared for an announcement of this magnitude? Three guys sitting out on the lawn? No stage? No hype video? ... just seemed lacking... but it is finished. Today the name changed, and tomorrow congress will begin in their inquiry into allegations of misconduct. Busy few days in DC.

Join the boys on Sunday night to recap the games that were (Bengals/Bills/Bucs/49ers), the game that is (KC), and to look ahead to the one that is yet to come on Monday. WarHogs and Alliance are two names making a late run in DC + snow as an adult is terrible. Stevie is also eating more sandwiches these days and 20 is afraid of having an adult opinion.

The DC Football Commanders? The DC FC? or how about the WarHogs? Stevie, Razzle, and Joe are ready to put the final season of the Washington Football Team to rest. It was eventful, disappointing, and most importantly the last one for the team formally known as the Redskins under their temporary name. With their new name set to be announced in a few weeks the boys talk about Highs and Lows for the season, and what may be coming next for the franchise. The boys also pick winners for every NFL matc...

The WFT needed a win against the surging Eagles to keep their playoff hopes alive but were unable to get it done at FedEx in the final home game of the season. To add insult to injury, part of the stadium collapsed as well almost injuring Jalen Hurts and several others. Stevie and Joe debate was the loss more of a poor performance on the field or did it have more with the play calling on both offense and defense. Regardless, WFT have been eliminated with one game to go next week in NY against th...

Some knew him as a coach, others as a tv analyst, and most today know him as the name behind the most popular football video game on the planet. The boys also discuss the disaster that was Sunday Night in Dallas and Stevie shares how he has been passing time the past week which includes watching a lot of Clinton Portis highlights!

There were a number of reasons (besides COVID) that led to WFT losing to the Eagles on Tuesday night... the primary reason, the defense struggled giving up over 500 yards. The Football Team drops to 6-8 and are headed to Dallas in a must win + need help situation to keep their playoff hopes alive. Razzle/Manny/Joe break it all down on this episode of DTC...

Stevie and Joe fire up the mics for a rare mid-day show but there is just too much to discuss to wait any longer! Dallas took over FedEx and the brave WFT fans that paid to go to the game the first half was terrible, the second half was better, but the team just couldn't pull out a win in the end. WFT still control their playoff destiny but need a win against Philly to keep the train on its tracks... how can they do that without half their defensive starters?? + Wiz are sliding and Beal may be d...

The WFT traveled to Las Vegas and earned a big big win to pull their season record to 6-6. It's all eyes on the Cowboys as Dallas-Week officially begins in DC and it couldn't come at a better time! The WFT have work to do but they are in the drivers seat and control their own destiny down the stretch with only divisional matchups remaining throughout the NFC East. Hail to the Football Team!

Stevie is back (and pounding cookies) ready to talk #FootballTeam and the potential of meaningful games in December... will there be a playoff push? Joe says "yes" if they split (or win) the next two against the Seahawks then the Raiders... can the WFT reverse the primetime curse?

The WFT traveled to Carolina to face the Panthers and Ron got the better of his former QB this time. The WFT defense looked steady from start to finish keeping Cam and CMC in front of them for most of the game while the WFT offense ran for more yards than they passed for... interesting!? DC gets a quality win to extend their win streak to two in a row with a MNF matchup against the Seahawks next. Joe talks about it all on this postgame live show LIVE on the Kontender!
Nov 21, 2021•59 min•Ep. 233
The mics are hot as Joe and 20 preview WFT v Carolina... the Ron/Cam showdown + there is a strong disagreement on which teams belong atop the NFL rankings and just how low the Lions could go.

Joe and Anthony dive deep into the WFT's improbable win against the Bucs and try to decipher just how Taylor and the offense managed a 10min drive to ice Brady and the Super Bowl champs. How does a team make TB12 look average? + What Ron Rivera + JDR plan to do now that Chase is out for the season. (Is WFT going to the playoffs!? uh-o!)

The WFT returns to practice after a week away and things are interesting to say the least? Joe and Stevie discuss the timing of the kicker swap (second time this season)... why not make the change last week from Chris to Joey? What is Ron thinking now? + the boys get caught up on Rodgers vs VAX and OBJ vs the league... where will he land... Joe says maybe GB or NOLA, Stevie is big on the Ravens... much to discuss leading up to our preview of Brady coming back to DC in just a few short days; stay...

The WFT is on bye this week which is great news for fans because they can't lose or drive everyone insane on Sunday afternoon. Rivera almost traded for a QB but thankfully it fell apart... thankfully! The league is curious about Rodgers vax status now that he will miss a game or two and the NBA season is a few weeks old now and the Wizards at 5-3 are built to be playing meaningful games post all-star break... right? Join the boys as they discuss it all!

Joe is riding solo and has thoughts on the WFT losing to the Broncos... everyone has to go... everyone!

Stevie, Mat, and Joe are getting set for the World Series and doing their best to ignore the Football Team and their continued regression. The boys discuss the H-town v ATL match-up plus some prop bets of note including overall home runs for the series set at 18.5... that could be juicy!

The Washington Football Team traveled to Green Bay to face the Packers and ultimately lost by 14 BUT the game could have gone very differently! The great Bill Rohland joins Joe to discuss the game beyond the numbers ... did the defense have their best performance? (yes). Did the offense keep pace with the Packers? (yup, out-gained them actually). Did Green Bay continue their trend of giving up touchdowns in the red-zone? (nope). The Football Team had several chances today to get meaningful point...

House committee says it will investigate the NFL's handling of Washington Football team workplace misconduct. Ron moves Landon Collins to linebacker but Landon refuses to be called a linebacker.
