Redskins Trade for a QB; Trade Away a DB; CV19 Ends Sports
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Monday Mar 23, 2020
CoronaVirus continues to crush the souls of sports fans around the world and with no end in sight, the boys at DTC are thankful to be healthy, bitter at the lack of live sports content, and hopeful a cure/vaccine will be found soon. NFL free agency is well underway and the Redskins made an interesting moving nabbing one Carolina QB and trading away a starting DB to a bitter rival in the Pacific northwest. What else do the Redskins need to do this offseason, and if Joey B falls to two in the draft... what would YOU do? #HTTR

NBA Season Suspended; Corona Virus Thoughts; Bernie Bro's
Wednesday Mar 11, 2020
Wednesday Mar 11, 2020
Stevie and Joe were literally caught speechless when the #NBA announced the season had been suspended, so they took 10 mins, gathered their thoughts and then turned on the mics! The NBA season may resume with playoffs only based on current seeding, or may have play-in games, who knows, right now however, there will be no more games. European soccer is already halting games as well, travel to Europe is suspended for 30 days, and yes, #CoronaVirus #COVID19 is to blame and not going anywhere anytime soon. Somehow one thing leads to another and the boys end up discussing the democratic primaries, the lack of presidential leadership, the stock market tanking, and what may come next here in DC. This is a unique show from two people doing their best to work through all the information and share their personal thoughts without fanning the flames of fear. We will be ok America. Stay Strong. (and wash your hands!)

Tuesday Jan 28, 2020
Stevie, Razzle, and Joe pay respects to the Mamba then switch gears to break down yet another Super Bowl matchup that happens to feature an ex-Redskins coach and several ex-Redskins players too. Stevie likes the Chiefs because of their offensive firepower, Razzle is on the 49ers because of their defensive abilities, and Joe is playing both sides and only cares about the point spreads and prop bets! (This show was recorded live, audio issues, and random interruptions were frequent... we'll clean that up next time around!)

FP and LP are here to break down the Redskins preseason game 1. The line is missing a LT, can Donald Penn and Geron Christian be stop gap solutions? The boys discuss. Case Keenum didn't look sharp but did have a TD pass to Robert Davis. Haskins shows that the talent is there but it's still raw and he needs time to develop. What are you looking forward to in week 2?

Monday Aug 05, 2019
Monday Aug 05, 2019
As #Redskins training camp ends and the season begins some here at DTC are excited while others are worried. The boys get sidetracked into some inside the beltway talk but it all comes full circle to the Redskins in the end! No Trent is a big problem however young coachable talent at offensive skill positions is still exciting. Stevie, Pete, Razzle, and Joe talk about the weeks that were in Richmond as the Redskins pack up camp and get ready to face the Browns. The QB battle appears to be wide open while the RB battle has settled down into what will be a lucrative timeshare for all parties involved... if, Stevie reminds us, Trent shows up! Joe is excited to see this young and promising defensive front take the field while Pete has questions about the timing of some of the Redskins cuts this offseason most notably Mason Foster. Joe has the #Redskins winning 10 games, Pete has them winning 7, Stevie is at 6, and Razzle is at 4. The show ends with a spirited discussion about the ongoing presidential debates because after all this is DC!

Monday May 06, 2019
Monday May 06, 2019
LP and Joe are back to breakdown the Redskins 2019 draft class in detail and shed some light on what caused the stars to align for Bruce Allen to have the best day of his tenure as a member of the 'Skins front office! The boys also discuss what went wrong in NY and why Rosen going to the Dolphins was a sneaky good move by the 'fins and a terrible move by the forever-rebuilding Cardinals. LP has the Redskins at 10-6 after breaking down the schedule while Joe has them at 9-7 but making the playoffs because of scheduling which affords them six straight NFC contests to end the season! Elsewhere... LP can't talk GoT but wanted to chat about the NBA while Joe shared some thoughts on the EPL season.

This is literally a lunchable of sports and politics that will resonate with anyone who lives in DC and leave you laughing on your way home this afternoon.

NFL Free Agency Frenzy
Tuesday Mar 12, 2019
Tuesday Mar 12, 2019
24 hours into free agency and the Redskins have already made a splash move by bringing in Landon Collins with a 6 year 84 million dollar deal. The Redskins also traded for Case Keenum, the guy who Kirk Cousins replaced in Minnesota, who also took the Vikings to the NFC Championship game for a bag a stale potato chips and made Denver pay for half that bag of chips. CJ Mosely gets an insane amount of money for playing inside line backer, Zach Brown and Mason Foster may be traded, Preston Smith and Ty Nsekhe get paid, this plus much more on this pod with LP and FP.

Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
Tuesday Mar 05, 2019
The wait is over, the DTC podcast is back! Joe is riding solo today re-visiting the biggest sports topics of the past month from the Super Bowl to LeBron James, Jason Witten to Bryce Harper, and from Gov Ralph Northam to POTUS to Kim Jung Un, and literally everything in between… there is something for everyone! Joe discusses Tom Brady and his ridiculous career and Russel Westbrook and his ridiculous stat lines going back several seasons. He also gets into Kaep and his settlement with the NFL followed by his ridiculous request for $20m to play in the AAF or XFL. Will Kyler Murray be a Redskins? Probably not but Joe is confident that Antonio Brown will land in Jacksonville with St Nick while Lamar Jackson will fail in Baltimore. ESPN prayers answered as Witten returns to Cowboys and Bryce Harper will make approx $4,000 per plate appearance for the next 13 seasons in Philadelphia. DTC is back!

Saints and Chiefs Robbed; NFL Rule Changes; Goose Allen Interview; Wiz Wins
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
FP, 20, and Joe are talking about how the Saints and Rams should be forced to replay the end of the NFC championship game (1:30), how the Chiefs should have had an opportunity to touch the ball in OT (4:30), and why the NFL should immediately change the Overtime Rules and make all plays available for challenge (11:25). Also, Joe lays out a solid reason as to why all NFL challenges should be handled from New York and NOT on the field in real-time. Brady gets a chance to book-end his career with another win against the Rams in the Superbowl (21:30) and might he walk off and retire? The boys also discuss the #FireBruceAllen interview which was comical and painful and void of value all at the same time drawing similarities to the #FyreFestival and Billy McFarland +why the Wizards and @RealDealBeal are playing better right now!

Tuesday Jan 15, 2019
Tuesday Jan 15, 2019
The fans have spoken and the Redskins Front Office has ignored. This town has been clamoring for Bruce Allen to be fired, yet the Redskins promoted him. #FireBruceAllen has not worked, maybe it's time to think of other ideas. All ideas are welcome! FP and LP are joined on this podcast to discuss all things that have transpired since the end of the season. #FireBruceAllen, #NotFiringGregManuskyButSearchingForAReplacement, #KindaFiringTorianGray. WHAT A MESS! To no ones surprise the organization is a public relations mess, fans are quitting, and the team just doesn't care.

Monday Jan 14, 2019
Monday Jan 14, 2019
FP, Stevie, 20, and Joe breakdown the final results across the NFL playoff schedule and make some shocking early predictions for next week's conference championship matchups. The Colts looked worse than expected, the Bolts came out flat, the Cowboys regressed defensively, and the Eagles finally ran out of tricks.. but don't take anything away from the Chiefs or Patriots, and don't look surprised that the Rams and Saints are moving on either. The boys break it all down and then discuss the final season of House of Cards, Marie Kondo "Tidying", and the wrap the show with a few thoughts on Surviving R.Kelly! Listen and share!

Goodbye 2018; Hello 2019
Tuesday Jan 01, 2019
Tuesday Jan 01, 2019
Goodbye 2018 and Hello 2019. #FireBruceAllen should continue to trend on twitter as the #Redskins face their fans and the offseason with lots of questions (seemingly without answers) while #FireErnie should begin trending as the Wizards are likely to finish no better than 7th in the East. Even with all the negative headlines in DC Sports the one headline that matters is that the Capitals are champions and thus, we are all champions! Olympics + WorldCup always make things awesome.... but 2019 will be great as well! Congrats Stevie, Almost Congrats LP! Happy New Year to all!

Redskins v Titans Preview; Predictions for Every NFL Game; Could Colt Return Next Week?
Wednesday Dec 19, 2018
Wednesday Dec 19, 2018
Joe and Joe break down and preview the Redskins at Titans along with every other game on the NFL schedule this week! Are you in the fantasy superbowl in your league... you NEED to listen to this episode of the DTC podcast.. if you are a gambler, you do too! Both Joe's believe the Redskins can get a win if the game is low scoring and ugly which it like will be. AP needs less than 70 yards for a thousand on the season and yes, Joe is firmly in support of extending Jay Gruden one more year based on his performance this year although Razzle doesn't agree. Could Colt really be ready for a win-and-in game against the Eagles next week? Crazy but true! Tune in, comment, share, and Hail to the Redskins! #Redskins #Titans #NFL #Playoffs

Redskins Beat Jags; Defense Plays Big; NFC Playoff Picture
Sunday Dec 16, 2018
Sunday Dec 16, 2018
The #Redskins, powered by Josh Johnson, played stout defense and just well enough on offense to defeat the #Jaguars and improve to 7-7 keeping themselves firmly in the playoff hunt. The #Cowboys and #Giants both managed 0 (ZERO) points while losing and will face each other one more time to end the season in a few weeks... but for now, the Redskins are alive and will face the #Titans on Saturday in a must-win. Coach Jay Gruden deserves an award for how well he has coached 2nd and 3rd string players all season long and with his fourth quarterback under center he is fighting for every inch and imploring his players to do the same. Mason Foster had a great game, Allen and Kerrigan too, and Haha Clinton-Dix played his best game as a Redskin too. The offense didn't look great but AP still has something in the tank and Crowder clearly does too! What a win! Hail to the #Redskins #HailVictory!

Saturday Dec 15, 2018
Saturday Dec 15, 2018
The Washington Wizards have traded away Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers and welcomed back Trevor Ariza. On the surface this screams "Fire Ernie" but surprisingly LP and Joe are not on the same page with Joe being "pro" the trade for several reasons. The duo break it all down and preview the Redskins Jaguars game as well! Tune in, comment, share, repeat... and DC... it will get better one day, some day, when Ernie and Bruce are gone!

Fail to the Redskins; Fire Bruce; Record Low Attendance
Sunday Dec 09, 2018
Sunday Dec 09, 2018
The Redskins are an embarrassment that words cannot fully illustrate. Once upon a time we had a real quarterback... he wore the number 8. Bruce Allen refused to sign him to a long term deal, traded away all of his receivers, his "weapons", then watched him still throw for nearly 4000 yards before refusing to sign him again, and ultimately watched him leave DC just as the prime of his career was on the horizon. Alex Smith (Godspeed on your recovery) is likely never going to play football again, Colt is a backup at best and a year and half away from returning from his injury, Mark Sanchez does not belong in the NFL and Josh Johnson will start at quarterback next week for the 6-7 Redskins who left the few true fans they had left with their heads in their hands asking themselves how much longer must we endure Bruce "Goose" Allen? Playoffs? Forget about it... we need the 'Skins to lose 50-0 every week moving forward to force Dan to fire Bruce. As fans we deserve better than this! The Giants are not a more talented team, but they showed today that in sports, talent never beats hard work. Today, every Redskins fan should be disappointed, and if we really want to see change, we have to send a message... don't sell your tickets, trash them, force this team to play in front of no fans... when we attend they complain... so let's give them what they want... silence. Shame.
