Washington’s new QB shares the secrets of starting for a record 9 NFL teams; utter Jets misery; his superpower (?); having 7 kids in 7 states; and the untold story of the best no-look pass of all time

I asked Ryan Fitzpatrick to dissect the absurd, no-look bomb he threw to come back and beat the Raiders. A game he entered, he says, after not throwing ANY passes in practice — for weeks, by choice — once the Dolphins benched him for Tua... #ESPNDaily: https://t.co/XsN0LNtFdd pic.twitter.com/7taszfJme5

Plenty of national experts have @WashingtonNFL winning 11 or 12 games, something they have not done in almost 30 years. Are they being over-hyped or are they that good?

Where does Washington’s defense stand going into the 2021 season and how does it compare to this time last season? I graded the roster to find out: https://t.co/vmUn8tiO2E

The last time a #WashingtonFootball QB surpassed the 30TD mark was 1967 (!!) by Sonny Jurgensen.

Kirk Cousins came close in 2015.

Joe Theismann approached this mark in 1983.

Just a horrendous stat. pic.twitter.com/YOmdi9oyZV

Rick Snider’s Washington remembers when Washington Football Team (Redskins) QB Sammy Baugh’s No. 33 was almost used again if not for an equipment manager’s tall tale. pic.twitter.com/d3ImThcYWk

Quarterback accuracy in the redzone vs. out of the redzone is yet another metric where @bakermayfield is just hanging out with some elite names.

If your QB is in the bottom-left quadrant, I am sorry.#NFLTwitter @JeffRisdon @DougLesmerises @karnsies817 @Pchopz_ @SportsBoyTony pic.twitter.com/rr5BAng3y2

When an NFL player gets injured your first concern should be his recovery and well-being, not your fantasy football roster

This off-season, the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two-year contract extension that would have tied him to Green Bay for five more seasons and made him the highest-paid QB and player in football.

Rodgers declined the offer, proof it’s not about the money.

Mike Shanahan, a two-time SB champion, went by Mike.
Jay Gruden went by Jay.

Would think within a few years we’ll have kids stay in school an extra year because it pays better than the NFL. Running backs in particular. https://t.co/s1HI2lyjVF

Giannis scored 50 points, grabbed 14 rebounds & blocked 5 shots. One of the best #NBAFinals close-out performances ever. Averaged 35 in his incredible series. I ♥️ this dude.

Find me a more likable superstar in sports. Impossible. Congrats to him, the #Bucks, and their fans.
