Thursday Jan 25, 2018
Thursday Jan 25, 2018
Its been a long time, but LP and FP got together to discuss the Redskins, the Superbowl and the potential draft prospects. The Goal was to not disucss the Kirk Cousins drama....That's basically only discussed the Kirk Cousins drama. The convo then pivots into FP claiming all QBs ranked from 5-25 are the same in quality. Sadly the news was also broken that our beloved Steve has been fired.

Kirk Cousins situation; Wizards/Capitals Heating up
Thursday Jan 04, 2018
Thursday Jan 04, 2018
The DTC crew is back discussing all things Washington D.C. sports in this episode. There is no DTC podcast with at least talking the Kirk Cousins contract situation. FP, LP, and Joe all discuss the contract situation once again ahead of Kirk's charity event on 1/5/2018. The Wizards and the Capitals are heating up. The guys discuss the amazing job that Bradley Beal is doing, and the under appreciation that Marcin Gortat often gets. In NHL talks, the Vegas Golden Knights seem to have a real home ice advantage, is that a product of being in Vegas?

Wednesday Dec 27, 2017
Wednesday Dec 27, 2017
The Redskins are riding a 2-game win streak after suffering a bad blow by the Chargers. After several days of internalizing what this means to the Redskins future, LP and FP are in studio to discuss all things Washington Redskins. Among many topics discussed LP and FP had to discuss the Kirk Cousins contract situation, the job the coaching staff has done, the injuries, and some players who are surprising even us, the biggest of homers. LP and FP finally discuss the meaningless game against the New York Giants with a final week 17 prediction. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the DTC family.

Thursday Dec 07, 2017
Thursday Dec 07, 2017
With the playoffs seemingly out of reach the DTC boys reset expectations for the Redskins coming off a horrible loss at Dallas (2:20 - 11:30) and now headed to LA to face the streaking Chargers (12:15 - 20:30). Joe feels strongly that the team has a lot to play for as does FP, while LP thinks they should be in tank mode (21:00 - 26:50). Nick Hamilton, a reporter covering both the Chargers and Rams for NBC Los Angeles, joins the show starting after the break (27min mark) and breaks down the key matchups and shares his prediction for the game on Sunday. Can the Redskins travel to LA for the second time this season and pull out another win? Share your thoughts with us! #HTTR #HailVictory (photo: Chargers.com )

Redskins Lose Bad in Dallas; DC Sports Curse; Trump Tweets
Friday Dec 01, 2017
Friday Dec 01, 2017
The Redskins went on national TV last night and embarrassed all of their fans and the entire city of Washington DC. It was such a bad performance that Stevie demanded to be heard and joined Joe on Facebook LIVE to vent and air it all out. This is not your regular sports podcast however as when these two get going the destination is always in question. If you want some insight into POTUS tweets or the tax bill, listen to the end. If you only want to hear about the Redskins, there is plenty of that as well in the first 20 minutes as the boys revisit the agony of defeat. Is the Redskins season over? The boys have strong opinions on this but we want to hear yours too! (photo credit:

Thursday Nov 30, 2017
LP, FP, and Joe are joined by Tyler from the Enough the the B.S. Podcast to preview the Redskins at Cowboys matchup on Thursday Night Football. The term must-win gets tossed around a lot but for both teams the season is on the line and the Redskins need another division win to keep things interesting and on track towards a post-season birth. With injuries mounting, suspensions in play, and a (fake) short week of rest this division rivalry game is likely to be ugly, but can the DTC boys convince Tyler to pick against his Cowboys? Tune in, like, and share!...oh yea, the the boys discuss the color rush uniform issue as well! #HTTR #Hail Victory (photo credit: WaPo)

Game Preview: Redskins at Saints w/Tyler and Dayton from the Who Dat Dish Podcast
Thursday Nov 16, 2017
Thursday Nov 16, 2017
The Redskins are headed to New Orleans with the pressure of a near must-win on their shoulders... but LP, FP, and Joe are still picking them to win this week! The injuries to the team continue to increase but there is still hope and as FP demonstrates what didn't work last week, may work this week... so there is always a chance. Tyler and Dayton from the Who Dat Dish Podcast join the DTC boys (18:14-42:05) for twenty solid minutes to preview the game and even though both picked the Saints to win both predict a close one-score game which means it's a toss-up. Listen, like, and share... Hail to the Redskins! Hail Victory!

Redskins Vikings Overreaction show; Caps 5-1 in last 6; Wiz win 3 straight
Monday Nov 13, 2017
Monday Nov 13, 2017
The Washington Redskins failed to capitalize after an impressive victory against the Seahawks last week. The team can’t seem to string together a game where the offense, defense, and special teams put together a good, full game. FP, Joe and LP talk who is to blame, there has been some talk about blaming Kirk, which the DTC crew all disagree, there has been talks about blaming the coaches which the crew is split on. Pryor jawed with a fan pregame, where LP thought that would lift his on-field play but unfortunately went 0/0. Maurice Harris had possibly the catch of the year, at least for the Redskins. The defense failed to stop the Vikings from getting in the end zone multiple times. While the offense went 2/4 in the red zone and 2/4 on fourth down conversions. The boys discuss the loss to the Vikings. At 32:29 the crew shifts to discuss the Wizards latest win streak and the capitals quietly stringing together a few good games. (Photo Credit: Televisa.com)

Game Preview: Vikings at Redskins w/BJ from Vikings Territory
Wednesday Nov 08, 2017
Wednesday Nov 08, 2017
The Vikings and Redskins will battle again this week for the fifth time in eight season. This is the second time in as many seasons that the Vikings will come to DC and just as in past years these teams mirror each other in more than just record and conference positioning. Neither team can run the ball very well and both teams have playoff-caliber defenses. The Vikings have talent at wide receiver with average quarterback play, while the Redskins have talent at quarterback with average (below-average) wide receivers. Joe and Steve recap the week that was in Seattle and preview the upcoming game with BJ Reidell (16:10) who covers the Vikings for multiple outlets including the About the Labor Podcast, VikingsTerritory.com, and Bleacher Report as well. Steve and Joe both have the Redskins winning... but what about BJ? Tune in and find out! (photo credit: Redskins.com)

Game Preview: Redskins at Seahawks w/Sam from Seahawks Fantable
Friday Nov 03, 2017
Friday Nov 03, 2017
FP, LP, and Joe try to find something (anything) to feel positive about as the Redskins travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks on Sunday in yet another late afternoon game. The trade deadline in the NFL came and passed and the Redskins failed to secure help at running back, wide receivers, or offensive line so can we really expect to travel cross country and win? Joe tries to explain how these two teams are shockingly similar in strengths and weaknesses, while LP justifies that the defense is good enough to win and... well... FP just disagrees with everything and is becoming very bitter. Sam from HawksCast and Seahawks Fantable joins the boys (23:01) for some crosstalk and shares his thoughts on this odd rivalry and what to expect on Sunday from Seattle. Listen, like, share and repeat! Hail to the Redskins!

Redskins Eagles Week 7 Game Recap
Wednesday Oct 25, 2017
Wednesday Oct 25, 2017
LP and Joe recap the horrible Monday night loss and try to figure out what happened to all the Redskins wide receivers. LP is in semi-panic mode while Joe is in full-panic mode. The Redskins need to get healthy quick as they prepare to face the Cowboys next week in a near-must-win NFC East battle.

Game Preview: Redskins at Eagles on MNF
Thursday Oct 19, 2017
Thursday Oct 19, 2017
The Redskins head to Philadelphia on Monday night for a showdown to clarify the top ranks of the NFC East. The 'skins lost to the Eagles in the season opener but Joe and LP are convinced the game should have ended differently. Stevie and FP are more focused on the task at hand and think the Redskins have a reasonable chance to go into Philadelphia and win. One thing is for sure, all four talking heads are finished with TP and this receiver group. They simply must play better. The Eagles can be beat and the Redskins are certainly good enough to do it. Will the Redskins primetime luck continue? LP, FP, and Joe think so (Joe's taking the over too), while Stevie isn't convinced. Who you got Monday Night?

49ers at Redskins - Game Preview
Friday Oct 13, 2017
Friday Oct 13, 2017
Stevie and Joe discuss what the Redskins need to do to win/dominate the 49ers on Sunday and what the issues will be if they lose. With Shannahan and Garcon returning to face their former team both will be hungry to get the 49ers into the win column for the first time in 2017. The Redskins are the better team, they should win, but this is DC after all and the city is still disoriented after another game five Nationals loss at home... a Redskins win would be the perfect chaser to get us all feeling just a little bit better. Two life-long 49ers fans join the show as well, but ultimately the general thought is the Redskins should win. Stevie like this to be a high scoring game, Joe thinks the opposite... time will tell! Hail to the Redskins! (...looking ahead, don't miss FP and LP covering the game live from FedEx Field including a post-game fan call-in show to wrap up things on Sunday night.)

Coach Mike and Lucky Larry join the podcast (15:05) and share their thoughts on the game as well! We are live from Vienna Glory Days for the whole game... come join us! ...and Hail to the Redskins! Hail Victory!

2017 Week 1 - Eagles at Redskins - Game Preview + Special Guest Cody Benjamin
Thursday Sep 07, 2017
Thursday Sep 07, 2017
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 Benjamin (starting at 15:30), a writer for CBS Sports, and BleedingGreenNation for an Eagles-Insider perspective. Cody also shares thoughts on the week 1 matchup vs the Redskins, Philly-fan expectations of Carson Wentz, and the offseason roster shuffling at RB and WR. Football is back, the Redskins are back... week 1 here we go! Listen and share! (Photo Credit: Fast Philly Sports)

2017 Fantasy Football Draft - The Top 60
Thursday Aug 31, 2017
Thursday Aug 31, 2017
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? Joe shared his thoughts on several players not drafted in the top 60 and Steve provided some strategy insights into the best course of attack to build a winning roster... the irony of course being Steve is one of the worst fantasy football players of all-time. This show was a lot of fun and the analysis provided throughout will prove to be helpful to all fantasy players as we head into the long fantasy-draft-holiday-weekend! Listen, comment, and share!
