From 'Take Command' (subscribe here): With everything to cover about the Washington Commanders, from selling the team to securing a quality quarterback, Logan Paulsen and Craig Hoffman bring on ESPN's John Keim to preview the Commanders' offseason.
The guys and Keim talk about the state of the Commanders QB1. John says that it is very likely that Sam Howell will be the starting quarterback next year, and Logan and Craig bring up all the benefits you get with Howell. An important note that all three guys point out is that regardless of Howell's success, Washington can't stray away from being a run-first offense.

From 'The Crew' (subscribe here), Ron Rivera rolled the dice and came up with snake eyes after —figuratively speaking—after the decision to bench Taylor Heinicke for Carson Wentz backfires after a 3 interception performance from the former Eagles and Colts starter fizzled in a must-win game for the Commanders.

From 'Take Command' (subscribe here): Hosts Logan Paulsen and Craig Hoffman continue the preview of Browns vs. Commanders by looking at the Cleveland defense and what we should expect from offensive coordinator Scott Turner and re-named starter Carson Wentz.
Logan says he wishes for Turner to take it easy and make sure Wentz feels safe against the pass rush. Craig says that he is cautiously optimistic to see what some of the pass plays will be with Carson in at quarterback, but they need to keep the same rushing attack that has been successful all year.

Logan says that the only reason for so many mistakes to happen in the red zone is that they don’t practice enough. Craig says that they don’t keep to their most efficient offense in the red zone which doesn’t give the best options.

First Stephen asks us what the likelihood is of Heinicke coming back next year and whether would you bring back Carson Wentz. Craig says that you kind of have to stay with Heinicke if he wins a playoff game, but both the guys agree he isn't Washington's long-term solution. Logan says that he's the guy to keep and have as the "beat for the job" guy and to try to draft in for a quarterback.

Reese had his thoughts, but now he lets the listeners weigh in on what they think are the biggest worries for the Commanders heading into a debut season.
The always incredible Darren Rovell joins the show to talk about one of the all-time greatest sports urban legends and one of the greatest baseball cards ever, both have their history in our area. There is more Commanders discussion and even some talk about the worst songs ever made.
We finally have our first official sighting of the Commanders. It's only preseason, but that doesn't mean we can't derive some sort of conclusion on the game.
This is the first time that the Commanders have ever officially taken the field as the Commanders. They are no longer the Redskins or the Football Team. They have new uniforms and a new song. How did this come across in the stands and on the screen?
Reese loves watching the UFC, but there is a problem with how the fighters are compensated that makes watching it feel frustrating.
Did Carson Wentz look accurate? Did the middle linebacker posirtion do what it was supposed to do? Are there more holes than we thought? How much can we actually learn in a game that doesn't affect the standings later in the year?
How would Reese decide if he had to about the event this weekend that will be more enjoyable and leave better, longer lasting memories?
Energy and entertainment personified joins Reese on the show to discuss the latest on the Commanders and how to get pumped for the game this weekend. What was the hardest question Fred had to answer as a player? His response might make you laugh.
Maybe the exchange was uncomfortable. The response from the Football Team was also uncomfortable. Now we, along with the fans everywhere are left picking sides between the team we like and those bringing us information about the team. Blech.
Aaeon Schatz of the Football Outsiders Almanac is on the show to discuss the players on the verge of reverse breakout seasons. Reese has his fans of the week and he also looks at the two upcoming sporting events this weekend and why they are interesting for us.
What did the world's largest movie star do this week that has allowed him to earn such an esteemed and respected honor like Fan of the Week?
Carson Wentz was asked if this was his last chance as a starter in the NFL. It is a discussion many people have been having outside of the team's locker room. However, no one had asked him that exact question. The reaction has been loud and uncomfortable.
NBA teams have almost too many uniforms. One that no one was asking for is making a return next season.
There are a lot of things that need to improve with the football team. None of that can happen unless the people in charge are aware that it needs to get done.
The Commanders have their 1st preseason game. Juan Soto is coming back to DC already. There is a lot happening for sports fans this weekend. What's the most exciting thing? How long will it take to get fans back to where the once were? Reese talks with Sharla McBride and takes more calls.
How long will it take for the Commanders to win back the fans? Is it just wins and losses? Is there any way we can judge the process?
The college football season is very close and Reese gets into the details with Bill Bender of the Sporting News. Is there going to be a new greatest offense ever for each season as we go into the future? Reese also looks at some horrifying ways that people responded to the inclusion of black players in the bad old days.
According to the latest, we have reason to believe that betting on games is going to get easier. The problem however, is that one of the groups in charge of making this happen is also willing to believe FedEx Field has been improved.
There is progress and that would be a good thing, except for the fact that there is an area in this region that has already gotten sports betting right. Reese has some thoughts about how Maryland and DC are trying to catch up to Virginia.
Reese takes a few moments to look back at the way some of the people in this country responded to the Dodgers signing Jackie Robinson.
One of our good friends stops by the show to discuss the world of combat sports as well as movies and TV. Always a pleasure when Damon Martin joins the program. Also, we take some great calls about the events surrounding the Commanders.
Don't worry. That often injured player? He's totally fine and there are no reasons to think that all of the facts we know are anything to make an assumption on.
Our pal Matt Lombardo is back in the mix discussing what he is seeing at NFL training camps this year. What teams in the NFC are on the way up and way down? Is Hard Knocks great this year? How valuable is a win in Little League?
Trash talk between all-time greats and cities they played against is what we need more of.
Finally after days, weeks and months we have proof that the owner of the Washington Commanders is still alive and trying to get things done. Meanwhile the team is firing assistant coaches and waiting on injured players. Reese and the listeners weigh in on all of it.
From Dallas, one of our good pals Chris Arnold is on the show to discuss the Cowboys and their camp so far. Reese asks Broc what he thinks what the worst time for DC sports fans was and much more!!
There have been bad times before, but is this the worst it has ever been for sports fans in the DC area?
When Reese asked Chris Arnold what the fans in Big D wanted during the off-season, the answer was easy.
Rhiannon Walker of the Athletic joins the show to discuss the impending retirement of Serena Williams and what that means to the sports world. Reese hands out the Tuesday afternoon flowers and much more.
It isn't ever time that a card has every fight get finished without help of the judges. That happened over the weekend and Reese give out flowers to that even and every other person, place or thing that earned them.
The Commanders have made a change in the coaching staff. How big of a deal is it that they fired the defensive line coach? Is that the actual coach that needed to be changed? What do Reese and the listeners think about this latest development?
There is a growing concern about the accuracy of the quarterback on the Washington Commanders.
One of our best friends joins the show to discuss a very interesting interview with Jerry West. Trysta Krick of the Heat Check is back on the show. There are more great calls about RFK Memorabilia.
Would people be willing to give FedEx the same affinity and leeway that they gave RFK? If the seats in Raljon started bouncing would there be panic instead of joy?
Yeah, some things are obvious. A pair of the seats from the stadium would be great. But Reese has some even better items he's like if they can be found.
Reese catches up with Lynell Willingham about the most recent things happening at Commanders camp. Are we starting to get nervous about Carson Wentz? Can the offense tighten itself up? Are we excited for the Carolina preseason game?
Reese explains that he has issues with those from today coming after the money making motives of a disastrous concert back in 1999. Better put some respect on the Limp Biskit name.
Last week the idea that Carson Wentz has issues with accuracy came up and over the weekend that became a huge theme for the Commanders QB. What do Reese and the listeners think about a player that has brought an issue that exists on paper and now exixts on game tape.
After we saw Juan Soto traded to San Diego, Reese was left with a difficult decision regarding his man cave. Has he come to a place of finality regarding the future of that wall?
Eric Flack of WUSA 9 joins the show to discuss what is going to happen to all of the memorabilia and sports artifacts at RFK when it goes away. There are more calls and more college hoops conjecture.
Who are the all-time starting 5s of the two most storied college basketball programs in the DC area?
RFK is going away, but there is a possibility that pieces of it could live in the homes of DC sports fans forever.
Jerry Brewer of the Washington Post joins Reese to talk about Deshaun Watson, the Miami Dolphins and the state of the Commanders. How are we supposed to feel about a league that doesn't have any feeling about anything until it affects the cash?
Every Friday Reese shines a light on the fans that made him laugh because their passion turned into hilarity for the rest of us.
What is the more enticing ticket, a practice or an exhibition game between former great's? There are a lot of ways and reasons for each and even some all time great starting 5s. Reese sets up the all-time teams and asks if we are heading to FedEx on Saturday.
When we fail to plan, we plan to fail. Reese discovers there is an important conference that he should be at when talking to Jerry Brewer.
Jordan Dajani and Reese discuss the start of NFL Season and the excitement looming in regards to what we have in store. Are there any betting angles for this game? What QBs are most promising and what are the biggest stories.
With the season on the horizon, who is starting at QB is the most important thing any of us can know when betting and prognosticating.
Reese tells a funny story for the old days about a show that was memorable for all the wrong reasons.
What was once the elite in the world of college basketball, has fallen to being an afterthought and a point of sadness.
There is a difference between the emotions that these crummy teams have given us. Reese breaks down the sad versus the mad moments.
Scott Allen of the Washington Post drops by the show to discuss the recent happenings in the district and what they mean for the fans. Reese also gets into the Commanders and the Nationals and what happens going forward.
There are a lot of bad days, bad beats and troubling outcomes for fans of sports in DC. Which ones made us mad and which ones created tears. Reese and the listeners break down a list of all of them on this installment.
The saddest day in DC sports was probably extremely overlooked at the time. How could we have predicted a wealthy guy from the area would turn around and cause sad day after dad day.
Every week, Reese takes a moment to reveal to the audience the people that are holding back humanity. This week, Alex Jones is the problematic person who gets the smoke.

Subscribe to BetQL: Picking Fatties HERE!
Reese continues to break down the way that we feel following a trade of the best and youngest player on any team in DC. An event that felt almost impossible has become a reality and it stinks. Tony Gwynn is an MLB insider for Audacy and he joins the show to help advance the discussion.
When did this team become spare parts for contenders. And while we are pondering that, when did the Dan Diego Padres decide to get incredible. A team that hasn't been an elite franchise has decided to make a run.
What do we do with all of the ways that we invested time and money in our appreciation for a player that was supposed to be here for years? More importantly, what does Reese do with the Fathead?
Reese continues to react to the news that dropped before the show. Juan Soto has been traded and the fans are not happen. DC reacts to the news along with Reese.
If the team cannot build a winner around the best young player in the game, then why would we believe that they can build a winner without him? How can we have faith in this? There is very little reason to trust this process.
Juan Soto has been traded to San Diego and people are not happy about it. They won it all in 2019 and now that entire team has basically been sent to the four corners of the baseball world. What looked like a very promising core is no longer a team that people feel good about.
This is not the way a team should go about winning world titles. A sad day for DC sports fans. Juan Soto goes to San Diego and Reese explains what this tells us as fans.
There is a running gag on the show that news commonly breaks as soon as the show ends at 3pm. Today that did not happen, however the news that dropped was pretty frustrating. Juan Soto has been traded to San Diego.
Can we at least bet on where Juan Soto will go since we will be depressed when he leaves? What teams provide some potential action on the upcoming season? The fun and astute Ryan Horvat is on the show today to discuss.
The suspension of Deshaun Watson is a very layered topic. Comparing it to other players that received admonishment form the league is hard because of the nuances and issues that are involved.
Reese asks Amy Dash if she thinks we will ever get a leak from the testimony that Snyder had in front of the House Oversight Committee?
Wes Hall is on the show to discuss lots of the big stories, primarily the passing of one of the most impressive humans of all time, Bill Russell. Amy Dash helps break down the Deshaun Watson case and there is a brand new edition of Worst of the Weekend.
Every Monday at 1:30 in the afternoon Reese takes some time to break down one or two stories that are unequivocally the Worst of the Weekend. Today he talks about the bloody spectacle that was the Ric Flair's last match show in Tennessee.
It's early and it is still just practice, but that doesn't mean that we have seen enough from Carson Wentz that we like. Can we get some clean work, please?
Carson Wentz is throwing picks. Deshaun Watson has his official suspension. One of the all-time greats is no longer with us. There is a lot happening on a Monday afternoon and Reese is getting into all of it.
Bill Russell was one of a kind and a true legend on many levels. Rest in peace to one of the most impressive people that has ever walked the Earth.
Who among us has not been moved to tears by music. Seeing video of a member of a security team getting emotional reminds Reese of times that he has felt the same way for different reasons.
Reese talks with Ethan Cadeaux about the Commanders training camp. Are the fans pumped? Are the players pumped? Is there a sleeping giant on offense with this QB and the WRs? Ryan Kerrigan has decided to hang the cleats up. And Kyler Murray gets his deal ironed out.
Reese has some thoughts on Kyler Murray and his contract, the retirement of Ryan Kerrigan and the fact that he signed a one day deal to make it a reality.
Reese talks with lawyer Dan Lust about Dan Snyder and the proceedings he had yesterday with the House Oversight Committee and whether or not anything will ever lead to something. Also! Reese has 2 weeks of fans that need to be admonished and celebrated.
Roger talks on camera. Ron talks to the media every day. Everyone is constantly talking in front of mics and cameras. Except for Dan Snyder.
After Victor hit a bomb while the Nats were getting smoked, he wasn't feeling the embarrassment some thought he should have. Not only that, he doubled down. Manager Davey Martinez wasn't happy with and Reese isn't happy with Davey.
Every week Reese looks at all of the folks that make this possible and really are just like us. This week Reese discusses an old Astros fan acting a fool and a paid member of security ignoring his job to have a moment.
Dan Snyder dis talk to the oversight committee, and apparently they spent almost half the day talking and we have no record. No clips. No Transcript. Nothing so far has been allowed to get through the cracks and it is pretty infuriating.
No transcript? No tape? Then why are we having our emotions and passions toyed with? Will Dan Snyder ever face the music?
A Commanders fan had an odd question for Carson Wentz after training camp practice. Reese had some thoughts about the exchange.
Is it better to have a smattering of dejected and sad looking fans or no fans at all. If you were thinking the latter, you'd be correct. and you'd agree with Reese Waters.
Reese continues the discussion about Commanders camp and he is joined by Lynell Willingham who was there and contributes some eye witness accounts. There is also some hot takes about the olden days from our host as well as some calls from the listeners.
Our friend from Philadelhia, Roy Burton joins the show to discuss what is happening in the city we share the NFC East with to discuss the upcoming NFL season as well as the fact that the 76ers are supposedly going to build a new privately funded stadium in that city.
A comment from an esteemed guest has Reese feeling a certain type of way. Just because it happened before you were born doesn't mean it isn't worth your time.
What happens when two prominent and vocal athletes weigh in on a topic that has people very passionately talking about what needs to happen? You get this week's Racist of the Week.
Reese has some issues with the way the Dan Snyder is being held accountable. Because it looks like he isn't being held accountable at all.
Dan Snyder is still on the run. He won't be on the Hill to talk to the House Oversight Committee about the accusations of a bad work environment. He will talk via satellite and it wasn't being broadcast live like Roger Goodell. Reese started the show on fire and had a lot of thoughts on this topic.
It feels like it might be better if the Commanders just didn't allow attendance to training camp it wouldn't look like no one was going. One caller had an idea that could fix it?
Before Reese got sick the Juan Soto discussion felt like it had reached a fevered pitch. He's back. It has been six days. Nothing has changed. What does that mean?
Reese continue to discuss the Commanders training camp and also takes a look at the other cities in the NFC East as Brendan Walker joins the show to pontificate on the season ahead. Plus, there are more calls as well.
What rhymes with Commanders? Ned Flanders? Barry Sanders? Reese looks at the possible new song lyrics for the Commanders fight song. Fight song lyrics are hokey as it is, but this is a bit more problematic.
Reese uses the midway point in the week to break down the stories that he may have overlooked so far, but with the situation as it is, there is a lot to discuss. Including the reality that Kyler Murray has study hall written into his new contract.
The Commanders started training camp today and Reese is talking with our pal David Harrison who covers the team and was at the first day. What are the biggest and best things that could happen this year? Are there stories we are overlooking?
This is the type of news story that cannot be accepted. After all we have dealt with the last few years, this comes across like torture.

With the news that the Commanders have purchased land in the Woodbridge area and that could be a place where they could put the next barn. Can they convince fans to travel 25 miles south of downtown DC? Will any fans that loved the team in MD follow them?
There is a report that the Commanders have bought land in an area that no one wants the stadium to be.

It's a real shame that some coaches don't grant Nick Saban a pass because of his wins. And it's a shame that some coaches feel the need to up the ante in order to get the types of recruits that will lead to the epic success that has happened in Alabams. Reese also has some issues with the recent outcomes of NBA games.
An old bit for the new listeners. Reese breaks down the video footage of some rats in the kitchen of a restaurant that went viral.

When anticipated games end as blowout's it is a bummer. It's also a bummer when fans take cheap shots at a guy who is great but somehow always loses in big spots.
Watching the Capitals have their season end in a sad sack fashion means the NHL season is over in DC. It also has a big overlap in the Venn Diagram for the Nationals and probably Wizards. The question then becomes, when does the season end for us? What sport do you watch regardless of the outcome of your team?
It must be a Monday Miracle... Reese Waters has found something relatively positive to say about Pat Beverly? It must have something to do with him trashing Chris Paul after another postseason meltdown.

James Harden put up a good game. He used to do it all the time. Can we expect it again? Or should we throw all of our cash at Miami?

Some of these picks made no sense according to us. Now we speculate and debate and wait.
Reese continues to look at the 2022 NFL Draft and how it will affect the Commanders going into next season. Will a 5th round pick make the starting QB nervous? Is this the kind of person that we think will lead the team to victories? Is a boring draft a good draft? More calls and discussion.
David Harrison is as good ans anyone else when it comes to helping to elaborate on the Washington Commanders. He joins Reese to look at what they did and didn't do well in this year's draft. Reese also gets into the Worst of the Weekend.

Ron Rivera wants players that fit the scheme. Is the scheme working. Did The Washington Commanders get this right? Are they adding players that will be able to make an impact going forward? Should we be anxious about other people and their draft grades? Does anyone know anything?
Every Monday we start the show talking about the awesome, funny or incredible stuff we watched did or experienced over the weekend. But, there is also the need to look at the Worst of the Weekend. This time, the refs are bad, but judges? Man, they are brutal.

Reese takes a moment to look at some of the reactions from national media members on what they think about the Commanders pick.

The Draft is tonight and we had a show full of discussion surrounding what will happen and who the Commanders will pick. Rees took tons of calls and talks with the great Mark Schofield about what he thinks will go where. More calls and final thoughts from Reese.
Are we any better at getting the picks correct? Are there positions that teams do better than others? They spend so much time and money for, as Mark Schofield says is the world's longest job application process.
The countdown to the NFL Draft is upon us and yet we still have no idea what will happen in the very top of it. The Commanders have number 11 and there are a lot of different predictions. Logan Paulsen played in the league and is on in this installment to preview what they might do and how good the players are.

Tainting the water with paint thinner is a bit of a long way to go in order to win. But hey, if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.
There are a lot of animals they lied to us about. One of them is the turkey. They are making a comeback and are violent. Combat sports are also violent. Not as violent as thug turkey, but still worth talking about with Damon Martin who joins the show here to discuss the latest from MMA and much more.

Did a tournament that didn't inspire any passion before it started become one of the greatest that we have ever watched? Did the name brand value of the final teams actually make it more exciting?

The local college basketball teams are all having terrible stretches at the same time. Its a tough day, which makes for great radio.

While seeing Coach K get his flowers is gross. It's nothing compared to getting ridiculed for the way Reese was when he used Twitter to share his correct opinions.

A lot of the best players in the WNBA also play professionally in Russia. This has led to the imprisonment of one of the women's basketball players in the world. Reese explains in this installment.

Let's get out the big checks and shiny trophies and create something better than the summer games with the world's best athletes.
At some point we must learn to let the thing we love go where it needs to. The Commanders have to follow their heart and see if there will be the warm welcome they expect in Sterling.

The College basketball scene from the beltway region is bad and it is getting worse. The high water marks are all at least 20 years old.

Maybe the problem with the dunk contest is that they are being judged incorrectly. What if we put unlikable guys under the rim and let that inspire the competitors?

What was worse, the build up and let down or the name itself. Its it possible for this team to ever get things right?
The Washington Football Team has shed the name that after 18 months has grown so accustomed to fans in the area. What do we do with all of our WFT gear not that they are the Commanders. We are commanders.

We are coming down to the wire and now new name leaks are floating out everywhere and yet there is no real official leak that we can definitively say that this is the name. We still wait. We still debate. It's the final day for the Hail Mary pitch to not use Commanders.
Who has an easier job and who is able to just bail on their responsibilities more often? Referees or the people who close daycare when it rains?
