Mic check, mic check... Stevie and Joe are return to the pod to catch-up on a few different topics while the dust settles on summer 2022. Nationals trade their brightest star, after trading their previous brightest stars, after letting their stud slugger leave town... and Stevie is convinced Mike Rizzo can rebuild the team (again... and quickly)! The Commanders look worse defensively but the real chatter is about the Lions on HARD KNOCKS... Tiger isn't going to LIV, Manti T'eo has a must watch documentary on Netflix that must be watched ... and what do you expect from a Game of Thrones reboot/spin-off? Welcome back to DTC.

Ticket Price Problems; Commanders Issues; London Bound?; Remember #7; Capitals Surge

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?

Listen now as FP and Joe discuss it all and remember you can live tweet the show anytime from any social media platform!

Saudi Golf; NBA Studs/Duds; Soto Saga Begins; Zim Retires

Commanders Take Command; WFT Retired; JZ Loves Uniforms; What’s Next

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.

Stevie and Joe take a look around the NFL to identify their top 5 and low 5 + Ron surprises everyone by letting go of Hopkins and his 85% made FG rate... why now Ron? Why? The Dodgers are in trouble but are still alive and the Red Sox might go streaking soon. Does anything compare to playoff baseball!?

The DTC mics are on and the boys are hot about another terrible showing for the Football Team as the defense continues to struggle, allowing 21 points and scoring ZERO in the second half against KC. The retirement ceremony for Sean Taylor was a disgrace and Joe has thoughts about what could have been done differently. Absolute embarrassment. Why does WFT run 5 yard slants on 3rd and 8?
