Grant and Danny
Commanders Blow Out The Browns, How Are You Feeling After Their 4th Straight Win?
Good Monday afternoon, October 7th, 2024. It's Grant and Danny coming your way for another hauling oats victory Monday on the fan. Just like we drew it up. Jake Rudin's on the show at five to break down Jaden Daniels, fifth career start. We will also have interviews for you today with Benjamin St. Juice at three o'clock. Alamadeza Kias at four thirty and Fidarian Mathis. It's six. The local seven one four in a row. They're not just winning. They are blowing teams out a month of consecutive victories for the commanders. They took the fourth quarter off at home yesterday to frolic and enjoy fellowship on the sideline like a preseason game. Marcus Mariodo was throwing to Bryson Tremaine in the waning moments. My feet is the said the starters rest and relax. Enjoy it. That's the fruit of your labors whooping that ass for a broken Cleveland team. Now Cleveland's offense stinks, but Cleveland's defense. I still think it's pretty good. Five of the first six plays were negative plays for Washington. Cleveland turned them over. They pressured. They had penetrating plays where they whether it's TFL's that thought they did a good job against every design. And Daniel's run. They had somebody there. They knew what was coming or how it happened. I thought that defense is pretty good. And they gave up twenty four points in the first half. Oh my God, man. The third down and thirteen should have been another drive ending sack. Sorry. We've got a cheat code. He wears number five. He's better than your guy. Which guy? All 53 of them. Every trainer, every administrative assistant. He's better than everybody that you got. Sorry about it. That changed the game. I know the turnover happened just after that. But field position is flipped. You get after a three and out for this defense and all of a sudden starts to step up. You get the punt short territory. You walk in for a touchdown. Then ever look back. This is so much fun. Yeah, it's a blast. We'll be discussing the win from all angles all day long on Grant and Danny. You can listen to us all over the DMV on one oh six seven on the Odyssey app throughout the day wherever you go. And of course you can watch us on our one oh six seven the fan YouTube stream to an oh at home. You know how you improve the home environment? You'll be at Northwest Stadium where they have yet to lose. They are four and one overall for the first time in 16 years for the second time in twenty five years. This team is four and one. They have not been five and one with a showdown with the Ravens looming in Baltimore, Danny, since 1996. What was Danny Ruier doing in 1996 junior high school? My hair was probably a little too long to play for Grant Paulson but I was sitting nukes in summer ball getting ready to go on all the college showcase tours and get myself recruited. I was eight years old. They were five and one. That was the last time that they pulled it off. It's one thing to be winning. Like they got to four and one under Jim Zorn. In fact, the hip hip array bit that we play for first time callers on this show was actually from the locker room after they improved to four and one after their win against the Eagles in 2008. But that team in those four wins I think was plus 20 in those games. This team is over plus 50. They are blowing teams out. They are snatching souls. They are dominating teams and the crowd responded. I thought what an atmosphere yesterday at the stadium predominantly commanders fans. There was an electricity and kind of this jauntiness among the attendees where it was a refreshing, excited, happy to be their vibe that we're not used to. Danny, there was a damn wave in the stadium. The wave is not enough people to do the wave and certainly not enough home fans to do the wave. There was a wave in the lower bowl. This is not baseball. You're allowed to do the wave in football. For several minutes during the Laffer went to Sean Watson who was completely broken was just being beat up and thrown around like a ragdoll. I mean, my goodness gracious. So I'm talking about Washington here. But let me detour. I don't want to tell you about Seattle. Okay, Seattle, a three and one team playing against a bad team with some turmoil. That sounds familiar. The three and one team who's maybe a little bit better than people think had a game against the New York Giants. Should the quarterback be benched? Should the head coach be fired? Is the GM the right guy? What are they doing? This is such a disappointing year. Blah, blah, blah. And what do they do? They did the thing that my Washington team has done to me and all of you guys listen to this program forever for decades. The little tiny bit of prosperity of three and one record. Let's all settle down. Nobody's throwing any parades for that. There's no, there's no party for it. There's no trophy for a three and one start. You got off to a nice beginning and you go out and lay an egg and it becomes the year and quicksand and you never are able to recover and you lose a game and everyone's gone. Same old, same old. And then the belief train is derailed. And that's kind of the end of it. And then you go through a swoon. That's what normally happens when the three and one team that I care about plays a bad beat up team. Their season gets safe talking about the bad team. Not this time. No, the, whatever the opposite of that is, that's what we got. We got sideline laughter. I don't know who that guy J. Daniels was talking to for minutes at a time was wearing a blue shirt. Seems like a nice enough guy, but they were just having a fun conversation. He was telling jokes. Probably they were funny sarcastic jokes or they're kind of rye out of the side of his mouth. Daniels was laughing and go on. Everyone's got sideline laughter going on. They're all doing that thing where they hold their pads with their two hands like right under their chin. That's the, I'm so relaxed. I'm not even thinking about anything holding on to my pads. You're pulling your shoulder pads down. Breathe a little easier. Yeah. Giving your front horse collar. You're up around the collarbone. Just kicking their ass. The offense did not play a sharp first half. Jaden Daniels, who for the game did some of the most incredible quarterbacking playmaking that we've seen at the position in years and years for this organization was the least accurate he has been at any point this season. He threw a bad interception on the goal line. The play before that, he missed a wide open Zach Earth's for a touchdown. Speaking of open hurts, Earth's would have scored on a 98 yard touchdown when he was at midfield running free when Washington had the ball at its own goal line on a third and 10 and Daniels sailed the ball over his head. All of these things in the first half. And yet it did not matter. None of it mattered because at the end of that first half with all of the things they left on the field with all that meat on the bone, they had 24 points and they should have had 31 and Daniels was on pace to throw for 350 because he is the easy button. This is something we've talked about for a long, long time in the NFL with other teams and other players. You called him the cheat code, right? That's something we referred to him as the last several weeks on third and one on fourth and one. I call him a cheat code. He makes you right. It does not matter if you have a bunch of bad plays. If he can make the one huge play, you talked about the negative place to start the game. They came out three drop three play first drive three and out. I think like minus nine yards and then it was third and 13 with minus three on the next two plays. So basically it was a five play disaster start against the Browns defense. And then he should have been sacked for minus eight except that he gets out of the pocket. Very few guys in the league can do that extends the play and heaves the ball 65 yards downfield for a 66 yard completion. I think it was almost 60 in the air as he was approaching the sideline. Unbelievable play top five play. I've seen made by a quarterback in that stadium in my life. I've been going to games there since 1999 and for their more opponents. I'd have to do some work on the list. Pretty amazing, man. Yeah. They ended up with seven plays of 23 or more yards. That's the whole league. That's the heritage. It's explosives. Third straight week with at least 34 points. First time since 2005. And after struggling early on offense, I love the word the Dan Quinn used and we'll play his press conference lab today at three thirty for you, by the way, right here on Grant and Danny. But he called it a grimy start. They ended up scoring on six of their first 10 drives. They are averaging 38 points over the last three weeks. Danny, we have reached a don't even have to be sharp to score a lot of points because they make that many big plays down the field. Games yesterday of 66, 50, 41, 34, 33, and then two for 23. So it's different than we've been seeing in the last few weeks. Cleveland had a different planet, different design. They play a different style of defense. It's in your face. It's trying to mall people. It's pressure. It's blitzing. They're not going to let you breathe, right? So down in and down out, Washington really wasn't able to do it. We're used to seeing them do over the last couple of weeks, which is everything seems to go between four and, you know, 15 yards, right? Like every little play they just matriculate down the field and that's that. This was get stuff for no gain. Jayden Daniels run for zero or negative one or something. Then to your point, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk. When you blitz it over aggressive, that's why teams aren't doing this as much now, by and large. You can get some negative stuff, which they did. Turnovers happened. There was one the interception you mentioned. Tara McCorn got had a ball ripped away from him. Should have been another turnover. It was close with with Zack Hertz, potentially in the middle of the field, where if he caught it securely, might have lost the ball. Who knows? But you get gouged when you do it that way. The Austin Eckerler run, for example, everybody sucked up and you've got a great call and boom, he's off to the races. With the pressure that ended up with a down-me-brown touchdown, because everyone's mugged up and trying to go press man and get tight on receivers. They've got counters. So even when it wasn't clean, even when it wasn't nice and efficient, 72 and Sony playing that seven on seven, we've seen a little last few weeks, it still doesn't matter. They could have scored 50 points yesterday, even with that. It reminded me of a college basketball game. If you've got like a really good team and you're playing one of these teams that wants to disrupt you and you get half-court trapped and you get out of your rhythm and you get stymied and you look up and the half-court trapping team is still down 30. You're like, how did you just do that? Because you hit threes, you get like, yeah, you turn it over a time or two and then they got some nice runouts, but you look up and it's like, keep doing it, Jackass. We've got execution. So in my mind, I'm going, this is the worst this offense has looked. This is not the standard that has been set. This is the regression. I'm talking about late second quarter. I'm thinking that Daniels, you know, with the pick on the goal line, he left the ball inside at one point to McCaffrey, Luke made a hell of a contested catch. That was awesome. He had the deep shot where he sailed the ball to Terry that should have been picked off by 21 down the field, like in the five yard line, if you remember, there were a few of those where you're going. It's just not something's not quite right. The timing's not there. And then as soon as he hit the 41 yard on a dime throw to the army Brown who wins and man gets behind Emerson. He's all alone, three steps behind everyone, drops a ball into the bucket, kind of easy pitch, easy catch perfectly done by everybody. They've got 24. And by the way, kudos to Dan Quinn, because right before that, the Browns were running the football. They had this snooze fest of an offense and Dan Quinn said, these guys suck. I'm going to call a timeout. We're going to get the ball back and we're going to step on their throat. You want to talk about all these anybody, anytime, anywhere. We snatch hearts, we step on shins, all this nonsense. We need caps. Okay. So let's burn a timeout with two minutes left in the half. Let's give the ball back to our offense and let's go not settle for Austin cyber. And they went right down the field and took their shot. Supposedly, Daniel's after running out of bounds while trotting back out onto the field stops and tells Kingsbury, I got the Ami deep here if we want it. Hell yeah, we want it. Yes, we do. Why wouldn't we? And they've got 24 and a half where they were just okay. Yeah. That's where we are now. Now, every week, you're not going to make those explosives. I think I saw a stat somewhere that the best teams in the NFL this season have like 18 plays coming into the week of 20 plus yards, but Washington had seven of them yesterday. It's a hard offensive half to kind of grade and you're picking nits and you're looking at the plays that just crumble up the paper, throw the notes away. 24 points, man. That's the whole point of the game is the big plays. Doesn't matter if you miss this, you miss that. That assignment was wrong. This guy dropped this. Who cares? Those huge plays are the whole league and they make them now. How about defensively yesterday? Damn, man. Now, caveat, Sean Watson is broken. Yes. And is a gross watch. He is getting sacked on 24% of blitzes. The league average is nine percent of blitzes. His yards per attempt right now, Danny is 4.8. Price young last year was 5.5. This Browns offense is worst in the NFL via DVOA. And in fact, it's the eighth worst offense since 1979 via that metric. So they're going to make you look a little better. But that's the end of the making excuses for why the defense look like it did. Yeah, you feast on a bad opponent. I've seen, I've seen them not do that plenty thousand percent, right? Take a bow, Joe Whit, Dan Quinn, everybody involved. Seven sacks. Worst team defensively on third down in the NFL, coming into the game, Washington 12 for their first 12 on third down getting off the field. You knew to Sean Watson wasn't going to beat you. What's the plan? Stop the run 14 yards on eight carries, I think before the half. They finished the half with the Browns having under 70 yards. They led by 25 and had 30 some points at one point in the Browns still didn't have 90 yards. Everybody feasted. And by the way, Frankie Louvoo, what a badass. That's a bad man. I love watching him play. One of my favorite commanders, Washington footballers, Redskins organization, whatever the hell we're going to call the totality of this outfit. I like him as much as I've liked anybody. I think over the last 20 years, the way he plays, he is exactly what I dream about for my defensive heart and soul guy. He was awesome. He was terrific. This is the thing that we thought we were getting. Not me. You can't do that every game. Obviously he was all of a statute. It was incredible, but that where's he lining up this play? This play, it's a blitz. This play is beating a guard. The next play he's in the flat. The next play is doing something so the different that kind of swiss army knife ability. I mean, he had so many crooked numbers, right? Recover the fumble, three different QB hits, the two and a half sacks, the seven tackles, two tackles for loss, one man wrecking crew. How about the fourth in one opening drive stop where he slices into the backfield gets just enough of the ball carrier to chop him down. Totally. And if he doesn't, I mean, even if the guy is able to keep his feet, it gave the other players on the team a chance to be able to stop him just short. If possibly, maybe not. But the point is he disrupts the play. That's the thing. That's what defenses to me. It's the, you bend, but don't break enough times. And then somebody's got to pop one. Somebody's got to do some kind of disruptive thing, whether you're drawing a holding penalty. It's a TFL. Then you put someone in a bad down in distance. And he did that himself, basically yesterday, a handful of times, it was such a blood in the water game to defensively, where Watson was so broken and so inept in the pocket. Yeah. And just so everybody's so comfortable lethargic. Who gets the sack? I mean, we literally saw two defensive players play rock, paper, scissors to see who got to stay on the field to try to get them on the next pain in Allen in the middle of the field playing rock, paper, scissors, see who had to leave. That's the kind of game we were watching yesterday. That's what it was. Today, Dan Orlovski has said on ESPN that Washington is going to go to Super Bowls because of Jaden Daniels, plural, by the way. That's something that was said on national television. Mike Florio wrote a piece today on pro football talk, laying out the path to Jaden Daniels, winning the MVP award as a rookie, something that only Jim Brown has ever done previously. Those are the conversations being had nationally today, Danny. Normal. I don't see the big deal through five games. This is what you normally do. That's not what I'm normally. It was October seven. Usually I'm looking at that first milk hyper mock, then whoever else wants to put one out, I'm trying to figure out, you know, if we're going to finish bad death to get a quarterback, who's Washington going to get with the 29th pick? Yeah, about that, which is where they are right now. Who's available late 20s? That's where the teams that play in the championship game draft. That's where they are slated. My goodness. Based on the standings today, they are really, really good. And I can't wait for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. I saw a tweet that was getting passed around. I don't remember who it was, but a commander's fan said, I want to binge watch this team. I'm ready for the next episode. Give me the next game right now. That's how they felt last night, but we are at a point where the conversations you can responsibly have today and no one can make fun of you. You could say it's too early or you guys are overreacting, but you can't tell me that these things aren't on the table. Is this the best offense in the NFL? That's a real conversation. It's a question. How many teams are actually better than Washington right now in football? It's less than five, by the way, where would you rank them based on just blind ballot? Five weeks of football so far this season. How high? Because if there's three podiums, they might be on one of them at this juncture. Danny, they're at a point where they could go six and six and still finish 10 and seven and make the playoffs. And it would feel right now this moment as we talk today, like a massive letdown, if they go six and six. Yeah, it started hot and kind of cooled off down the stretch and they went and they won 10 games. Can you imagine 10 and seven right now? That's a letdown based on the way they're playing. There is a regression. We'll go back and dissect. What went wrong after week five? Uncharted waters. I don't know what to do with my hand. I said this last week and I still think it applies today. I have no idea where this goes, but there's still a couple of splinters in my mind where I'm going. Yeah, maybe somebody figures out Kingsbury's offenses. They've done each of the last couple of times he's been an OC or in charge or whatever. Maybe somebody makes it more difficult for him or, you know, an injury God forbid, but it's just the sport where injuries are king. It happens all the time. A couple of things that, you know, make it become unsustainable. Who knows? I know this binge watch is perfect. That's what's happening right now. I look, I used to literally, I'm not kidding you, not look forward to games. That's the, I'm obviously a fan. I care so much. It's part of the gig. I'm, it's like, I'm not going to watch them. And I go, okay, this is a chore. This is the thing I have to do this. Grab your notebook. You plop down on the couch and go. All right. See what happens here. Let's get some food from my feelings. Here we go. And now I've just, you know, dirt commercially. And then, you know, what happened? I handed that accler and it didn't matter that Robinson's knee was banged up and that quarter is right right down the field and almost got attached to it. Oh, then it was fourth and three and it was, uh, honey, come in and listen. It was fourth and three and that guy almost stacked in his little backfield. But then he just had picked him and he ran for 34 yards. And it was so much fun. And then later, terrible going to go and touch them, but he didn't catch it. Didn't even matter because they were already up by 30. Oh, you know what else happens? Make it look like a sack. I got another sack. You guys come watch. It's never happened before. Since I've had this family, it hasn't happened. Here we go. It's all I could think. Let's go have a football season. I mean, this is, it's just incredible to me that we're here this fast five weeks. And I've been texting with some people organizationally, the very, very top and throughout the front office. And one of the things you hear is, you know, they're all doing a really good job kind of downplaying that nothing's given out after five weeks. There's no hardware. There's no trophies. It's just a nice start. But they're all, I think, not only very happy that goes without saying pretty stunt with how this thing's coming together this quickly. You got to be hopeful. But I don't think any of them really had this in the office pool. Danny, NBC news, NBC news over the weekend, tweeted out hurricane Milton rapidly intensifies into category five, couple of other things that are going on in the country and then tweeted this. Washington commander's punter, Tres Way is one of the best in the NFL at his position. But thanks to a historically good offense, he's barely had to run onto the field this season. I don't know why I didn't watch it or read it. NBC news did a story on the fact that the commander's offense is really, really good. Not NBC four. Not Kerwin and JP, NBC news. It is happening. Ladies and gentlemen, your dreams are coming true. Oh, I'm years and years and years of going. What if I had a different owner? What if I had a gentleman is here? What would he be like? Oh, he looked like maybe had some thinking. Maybe you could have a quarterback thinking. Maybe your team could be the envy team in the sport in front of our eyes. It's not a mirage. The commanders are four in one. How you feeling? We'll open up the MGM national harbor listener lines at eight hundred six three six one oh six seven. That's eight hundred six three six one oh six seven. What are you feeling right now? What are your emotions today as you walk around with your chest out? Proud to be a fan of this football team for the first time in so, so long. We got Benjamin Saint juiced at three. Alameda is a key us at four thirty Jay Gruden at five by Darian Mathis at six. A little bit of a victory Monday party on G and D on the fan. you you you you you hatched up in a lot of man coverage all day looking that direction here comes pressure again to browse right into each other. Daniel's uncles a deep shot inside the five. Silly Jason Benetti on the call. Welcome back. Grant and Danny on the fan. That was the Fox Telecast yesterday the commanders have one four in a row. They're four and one. They're one of the best teams in football today. We'll talk to Benjamin Saint juice coming up at three. Alumni is a key us at four thirty. But area and Mathis at six and Jay Gruden's weekly Monday appointment to break down Jaden Daniels will go in detail with the former head coach at five o'clock. This Ravens week is shaping up to be a juicy one. They don't just mean on the field where the top two rushing offenses in the national football league will go head to head. But on this show as well tomorrow we've got Lewis Riddick of ESPN at three o'clock and Austin Echler of your commanders who had a 33 yard screen catch, a 50 yard run, a 10 yard run where he should have lost yards on a fourth down that set up the first score of the game. He was a monster yesterday. He's so good. He's so good with the football in his hands. Everybody who said he lost a step should have to smack themselves in the forehead and posting on socials. The question for you guys at 800-636-1067 on the MGM National Harbor listening lines. What are you feeling today? What emotions are you feeling? Pride. It's that simple where it's just it's it's not that embarrassment, not that hanging my head going. I'm a Washington fan. No, no, everybody, everybody likes me now. Everyone's got me is the center of attention. Everyone cares about me and my team. We're all a buzz. It's not the negative national conversation. It's the positive one. It's a simple thing where I go, I'm watching a team that's good and knows what the hell they're doing. Pride. For me, it's disbelief, I would say, kind of shock, maybe. I keep waiting. This will be a dated reference that a lot of young people won't get, but real ones know. I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to walk out. Be like, you thought that was your team doing that for real? Damn Jackie. And it's just been a big several week play. It's like the Truman Show that everybody's in on. And they're like, no, dude. No. Your team's one and four. Here's the games that they've actually played, but that's not going to happen. Because they're four and one. That's right. And it's the real deal, Holyfield. Let's go to Mo and Largo on Grant and Danny. What's up, Mo? Hey, Mo. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thank you for taking my call. Hey, bud. So I just want you guys to brace yourself, right? You asked how I feel. So I'm gonna tell you how I feel. I feel like as presently constructed based upon the way they are playing now in comparison to the other teams out there in FL, this team is good enough to go to the show. I believe it. I feel like to come watch me and Danny with orange show. You know what I'm talking about, GP, you know what I'm talking about. Say it. The play. Say it. You're talking about the play. Say it, Mo. I told a man in the in the gas station yesterday. I was literally in line and I turned around Kylie. I spot on him and I say, you know what, brother? We going to the show. I feel like the team is good enough to go to the Super Bowl. Gentlemen. There it is. Super Bowl. There it is. I really do. Now I get it early and honestly, I've never felt like this before and I might not feel like this in three weeks. So I'm gonna say it while I feel it. Say it. Say it. What's your chance? That's what it is. Let me tell you something. I work in an office out of Arbutus, Maryland, where my entire office is nothing but Raven's fans. And I wore my jersey in there with pride today, gentlemen. Dear pride. And you know, trust me, they all talking to us right now. And I'm, you know, I'm sitting there. I'm like, y'all real confident for a team that just struggle with a team that we handle. You know what I'm saying? Y'all did lose to the Raiders earlier this season. You know what I'm saying? And then I asked them flat out. I said, how would you feel if you lost? You know, and they were like, oh man, they were hurt. That was suck. I said, you know what, if we lost it, we'll be that bad. I want you to walk into that office tomorrow. And I want you to do that whistle, that Omar whistle walking through the neighborhood. Omar coming. We're coming. Hey, Baltimore, knock, knock. The boys are coming. Stringer Bell might have said it better. I want you to get the word out. We're back up. We back up. Let them know, Mo, say it with your chest. Now listen, this is a Saturday Night Live sketch to an extent. Okay. We're talking about Super Bowl. Yeah. In the nation's Capitol after five weeks. But if not now, when, what's the point of any of this? Here is my point. Who's better than them right now, definitively, are the Vikings decidedly? I know they're five and oh, they look like crap for most of that game against the Jets in London yesterday. Are the Chiefs who can barely move the ball at this point? For no, they'll find a way to win again, because it's all they do. They're inevitable. Their tight ends 100. They don't have receivers. They're running backs hurt. They signed a running back Kareem Hunt seven days ago is going to start tonight. Think about that. They're decidedly better. Now, I'm not telling you, Washington wouldn't lose to any of these teams or that they can't beat any of these teams. What I am saying is the way they're playing right now, the way this offense is humming, the way Kingsbury's designed this thing and is calling plays because you've got Jaden Daniels doing the things that he's doing. You have a shot every single week. And nobody's going to want to play this team right now. This could all change over the next week, two, three weeks, and we should act accordingly. But in this moment right now, it's not crazy to sit here and say it will be disappointing if they go six and six and finish 10 and seven. It will be disappointing if they don't win the division that they are. Every bit as good as almost every other team in football. Those are all fair comments right now this moment. Yeah, this man. And I think the point is two things can be true. One right now, they're pretty damn good. And in two months, they may not be. I mean, who knows who knows what the the one player that they can't afford to lose and we don't know who that is yet. I thought it was Echler, by the way, going in Arizona, wrong. They want 42 to 14 without him, right? I thought, okay, this, there might be a struggle here. Who knows? Maybe maybe they can't afford to lose Sam Cosner, Andrew Wiley or somebody who, you know, who gets banged up or something happens. That's a point of no return. We have no idea yet. And everything could change. The league could figure them out. Point is right now this minute, they're as good as anybody in this league. Let's take on all comers. Dan's in Perselvelle on Grant and Danny. What's up, Dan? Hey, guys, I got three feelings. One is you, you sure obviously. Two is trepidation. Danny just hit on that, you know, a good injury. I mean, not a good injury, but a key injury can change everything. And we know what the key is injury could be. And we have experienced that with a quarterback who had us all excited. But the third one is I have excitement in a way related to what the Patriots did back when they had a defensive minded coach. They had a young quarterback who turned out to be everything. And then some, and then they had this general manager in sync with the owner and the head coach where the personnel decisions were immaculate. I'll hang up and listen. Thanks. Yeah. Adam Peters has to be feeling pretty good today. I bumped into him in the locker room yesterday. And I said, not a bad start. They had a big old smile on his face. He's got to be feeling himself because you go through not only the draft picks and how they're playing, but the free agent, early return wins, Louvoo, Echler, Wagner, Beottish has been fantastic. Allegretti's been good. Noah Brown didn't play yesterday's been awesome. Zacchaeus, Hertz, Armstrong. It's just base it after base it after double after triple after Homer. The guy's batting pretty close to a thousand. Euphoria was the feeling at the stadium yesterday. It's also a TV show. I love Sydney Sweeney's work in euphoria. I just wanted to say it. As an actress. Oh, she's incredible. Right. How did she not win awards for her work in euphoria? There are awards that were given out, but they're not the mainstream ones that you're thinking of. 800, 636, 1067 is the number. The question for you guys is, what are you feeling today? And what are we supposed to do with our hands? Grant and Danny, four and one commanders celebrating on the fan. We'll give out game balls at the top of the hour. Grant and Danny on a hole in oats victory Monday on the fan. One excellent moment for everyone, maybe other than Mr. Huhe yesterday. People who enjoy fun and good moments of revelry. Danny, did you see after Brian Robinson's touchdown? I don't know if it was the first one or the second one. Try to keep track. I think it was the second one, but he's got five already, and that does tie his career high as we sit here after five weeks. He didn't even play in the second half and he had two rushing touchdowns. We would have had more. He scores, gets into the end zone and proceeds to walk to the back of the end zone where major tuddy just walks into the end zone, just so casually onto the field of play and extends his hand for a handshake and B Rob's like brothers don't shake. Brothers hug. Brothers got a hug. What a terrible moment. And he brings in major tuddy. Some would say in the symbolic moment of the commanders really being embraced with a hug. That's what happened. The name, the organization. I got people texting me telling me they got people on both sides of them at the stadium yesterday, cutting off tags of Jaden Daniels, jerseys after halftime yesterday after the big plate of McClellan. The hug of your guy, my guy, our guy, major tuddy and big old pudgy pig for no reason. Yeah, the, um, it's over, by the way, for everybody who's just keeping score at home. It's over. Like this is the name, man. Sorry. Like the line was around the block yesterday to buy stupid new gear for this stupid name. Those of us that are fighting this, it's over. I'm going to keep enjoying the football part of it. But just know that the, that little ember that was being stoked every now and again, when Josh Harris was like, it's not our current priority in the moment, but we're, we're aware of it. And we're looking at details. And we know the name blows and everyone who likes it. Josh Harris hates the name to yeah, but he knows doesn't like the name. But I think they all knew if we could kick this can down the road just a little bit. And maybe we hit the jackpot on the quarterback with the draft coming up in the second pick. Maybe it's one less thing we got to worry about what that can't cut down the road. Hell of a lot of money that can was put into a rocket launcher and shot miles away. Danny, back to the bigger picture point here, the thing that is so significant. It's not the name. It's not the future of the name. It's the embracing of major tuddy by Brian Robinson. My kids were fired. Oh, I know they were the mascot hug. I always love mascot stick under the goalpost. Like there's a misfield goal and the guy just like drops his head into his hand. Who, how is a mascot? Not hilarious. This big fat pig. It looks like me, but with a pig head. It's a big squishy pig. He just walks out there like, Mr. Robinson, can I have a hug? And he's like, of course you can tuddy come over here. And he kind of, he like kissed him a little bit like they think he didn't, but his face mask was touching a little bit. Tuddy's nose for some reason. The embrace is the funniest thing I've ever seen. It was so good. The touchdown was great. What do I have to do to get you to give major tuddy a hug? If I can arrange with the commanders to get major tuddy in here on Monday or yeah, Monday if they beat the Ravens. Can we get a video of you hugging major tuddy? Words like scholarship for my kids comes to mind. Okay. So if you if you are able to guarantee me in writing that their higher education is paid for, I'll embrace that diabetic pig. I don't care. Drag licked a toilet seat or something today. I think you might have kissed a toilet seat because he said there's no way they score 30 in a win against Jim Schwartz in the Browns. So you had to do it. This coming week. I'm not suggesting like a lot of people keep sending us notes at Grand H. Paulson at Funnydani that you put your left hand up and you sing. I've caught, I saw, I've caught a lot of those. Who are we? Yeah. Like, what do we have to do to get people to stop doing that now? Haven't they? Have they stopped doing the stupid embarrassing thing? No, they're still in. I just don't see as much of it anymore. So I'm hoping that it died out and everyone has the appropriate amount of cringe and shame. They actually performed yesterday on the, on the concourse. And they're at the stadium. We were walking around Cincinnati. People are gone. It's so embarrassing. Who are we? And people would throw their left hand up. It's a thing, man. But more importantly, back to the task at hand. Oh, right. Yeah. Sorry. I'll get major, Tutti here. I'll do the hard part. Please don't do that. I'm going to coordinate what a waste of time and resources. I want you to give major, Tutti a hug if the good guys get to five and one. And I want a metabolism. See what happens first. Don't do that. That's a waste of time and energy and effort. I will not embrace it. I'm not embrace him. I'm not embrace it. Whatever the it is. I'm out. Dares. I'm having a great time watching a hug if we get him in here. Are you kidding me? Absolutely. That's my guy. Wrap those paws around that big fella. That's my guy. What about you, Cleary? We got it. He doesn't have any ozempic or we go, but you still diabetic right now. We're going to, we're going to give him a big hug. We're going to give him a big old hug for major, Tutti. I love major, Tutti. Major Tutti's a little bit silly. Is he? I think he's a great mascot. The little helmet. He's like half cute, half funny. I don't know if he's supposed to be funny or or angry or I don't know what he is. I don't either. I don't know what he's either. Again, what what's the what's the animal? So I'm saying like there's no. It's a hog. Yeah. Why? They're not the hogs. The hogs. Well, I know. I know who they are. That's not the team name. They're paying homage to the old thing. Is it? But they are. But it's the name of it. It's stupid. It's a hog wearing a commander helmet. Oh, I know it clears it up. That makes a lot of sense for people that want it to be cleared up. It does. No, I people who are just being obstinate for the sake of doing it. Everyone needs to admit it is at best confusing at worst and insulting pandering bit of nonsense. And then admit that Brian Robinson hugging him after his second touchdown was outstanding. We'll also seal the deal. I get it's over now. What it did is that was the moment. Yeah. It's the symbol again. Brian Robinson hug of major Tutti. And now the name will never change. Yeah, pretty much. It's that. And then the line around the block at the at the dumb team store with the with the with gear with the dumb team name on it. The only thing that would have been better than that. And also more anger inducing for Danny is if Brian Robinson would have ripped his helmet off in the end zone, been penalized. Wouldn't it matter? Because the Brown's couldn't have done anything. I was gonna say, what are they going to do with it? Would have put one of those big fluffy hats on that he wore in the locker room all the time. Those big fat hats. That's going away, right? Thankfully, those are gone. That's right. But if you put that around, spun it backwards like coach bro, Sergeant slogan. And then he gave a hug to major Tutti with the big hat that this stuffed animal had on. Yeah, that would have been a 10 out of 10. That would have been even better. Can we hide one of those under the goalpost? Like a Sharpie in the Salvation Army bucket or something in the. What was the Saints receiver, Joe? Joe Horne. Joe Horne. Who did the selling? So you're going to you want to hide at one of those giant stupid hats. But good luck hiding that thing anywhere. Put it in the back of the end zone or just have major Tutti toss it to him. Yeah, those stupid things are visible from space. He scores every week. So let's bring major Tundi to Baltimore. Let's have him under the goalpost. He tosses him the big hat. Be Rob puts it on and they do a big embrace or let's get a bonfire together. Put all those oversized hats in it. And the original recording of one of my hands going in the air game balls to the best. I don't even know if we need to give out any gasters. We can try to find one or two. But this is a game ball kind of day. The commanders are four and one. Raven's week getting started. But we're still looking back at yesterday's domination of the Cleveland Browns, a fourth quarter that Washington didn't need fans left with 10 minutes to go, not because they were so angry, but because there was nothing left to see because they came. They saw they conquered and their bourbon was waiting for them in the parking lot so that they could clink glasses and talk about how great their football ball team is game balls gases next on g and d on the fan.
