What else can you say... year after year, administration after administration, nothing changes. The referee's hate us, the league doesn't care, the coaches are learning on the fly, and the ownership seems to be content with status quo. FP and Joe are covering the fallout from another loss for the Commanders... 3 wins out of their last 16 games... 3-13... how disgusting. Who's to blame and who isn't? Would you rather be the Browns? Cardinals? Dolphins? The boys do their best to setup a must-win next week against the Giants... but nobody believes anymore.

The Wizards WON something... the draft lottery! Andy says make the pick... Joe says trade the pick to Utah because the Jazz are in a must trade situation.

Plus, did we witness the end of the "King James" era in L.A. or will he call it a career and hang 'em up? Two many show with Andy & Joe straight ahead!
