The Daily Twitter: 6 January 2019

This! There was a time when the @redskins were the envy of the @nfl. The players were durable gladiators, who if opposing teams tested, punched them right back in the face & laughed. An owner who liked younger women that got pissy drunk in public, but he loved us & we loved him! https://t.co/ClgdcGANju

No one was better than Tress Way at the punting position this year, but yet two guys were named an All-Pro over him. https://t.co/XhN70KtjKC

With the #NFLPlayoffs starting today and the #Redskins missing the postseason for the third straight season, how close do you think they are from making the playoffs?

Manusky should have been gone after his healthy defense folded against Blaine Gabbert. Give me Bowles or any other former defensive HC as the new DC.

— Redskins Realm (@SkinsRealm) January 4, 2019

Skins keep saying they have their "core" players, building blocks & are "close." THIS 50-person AP panel says that the Skins, once again, have NO STARS __ZERO__ on the entire roster. >120 NFL players got votes. Only Skin was Tress Way (3). Somebody's living in a fantasy world. https://t.co/jzlvBxdjW3

After #Colts coach Frank Reich’s failed 4th down in OT vs. Houston, I texted with GM Chris Ballard. His quick response: “He’s going to be really good.” This week, Ballard explained to me how he knew Reich was the guy. My story: https://t.co/bOfKAqDhha

Sources believe #Nationals are now favorites to land Bryce Harper. Followed by #Phillies and then everyone else. Washington offered Harper “Well over $300 million” (as reported by @JimBowdenGM) on a 10-year deal and source indicated “I would be surprised if he doesn’t sign It.”

Alex Ovechkin will set a career high tonight with his 204th consecutive game today (started Oct. 13, 2016 at Pittsburgh, surpassing 203 games, Feb. 3, 2006 through Oct. 25, 2008).

— CapitalsPR (@CapitalsPR) January 5, 2019

Alex Ovechkin is correct. #Caps have had power-play droughts like this before. Their last 1-for-27? Was only two years ago in 2016-17 (Dec. 17-Jan. 9) in a span of 11 games.

So I’m trying to create my new Mike McCarthy parody account but I can’t find an avatar photo of him that’s boring enough. Anyone got a photo of McCarthy collecting stamps while sleepwalking? Thanks. #ComeGetSome

If there is one trend that I hate more than any other in professional sports these days, it's this mutual "stranger" jerkoff session at midfield for all the cameras when 2 opposing players exchange jerseys and pose for photos. #ComeGetSome https://t.co/wJmiWhFkwm
