National Harbor would be a great location for the new stadium but if a Cowboys fan car broke down on the Woodrow Wilson bridge on their way back to Stafford, it would be an absolute nightmare for everyone headed to VA. There needs to be another bridge to VA. https://t.co/kd5W9sydxx pic.twitter.com/McfX9vooky

Speaking of National Harbor, as many of you know, the #Commanders Draft party was held there.

Coincidence? If I was a savvy business I wouldn't try a "stress test" to see if the area would work.

It did. I thought it was a nice event. Pic 3 would be a potential stadium spot. https://t.co/C9znlywXHD

ESPN report that Harris prospectus says a new stadium in ‘31 tells me RFK is a serious contender. That’s the one that would take the longest.

FedEx deal expires in ‘27, would love to see some one-off games in fun places around the region during the gap between the two.

Notable for the Commanders hopes of returning to RFK: James Comer, a powerful Republican from Kentucky, "expressed interest in ... assisting D.C. in bringing a new arena to the city at RFK — one of [Mayor] Bowser’s big agenda items." https://t.co/Mv4f9e6vjU

The Washington @Commanders and several DC officials want to build a new stadium at the old RFK stadium site, and are now pushing Congress to transfer the land back to the city. I spoke to Washington football great Brian Mitchell on his thoughts. @7NewsDC pic.twitter.com/VchKhdnO9B

The 1.5B proposed in Harris' prospectus is interesting. Because if contradicts everything we have been hearing about Virginia funding. @byajperez touches on that today in his latest article .https://t.co/bSwVTy4kZO pic.twitter.com/IEBlQ0iLic

UPDATE: All three props on the Tempe ballot related to the Arizona Coyotes' planned $2.1B arena project were shot down by voters per unofficial results. (No prop received above 44%.)

Voters in this special election literally chose a landfill over hockey. https://t.co/IOhQzXs3kZ

It’s only those fans that are holding out hope they can be strapped to one of the wings of Snyder’s jet on the final flight to London. https://t.co/fDKp68Ieav

The group — in total — has around $100B in assets. All these reports about issues w the deal are hilarious.

I know the main source for a lot of this. I chose to ignore that person two months ago. Glad I did because I don’t have to defend my work.

— A.J. Perez (@byajperez) May 17, 2023

It’s a slam dunk. Has been for many weeks.

It will be interesting to see how Ron Rivera is treated by new owners.

In Josh Harris' previous acquisitions, he inherited a head coach and gave them an additional year before letting them go.

He purchased the 76ers in 2011.
He purchased the Devils in 2013. pic.twitter.com/bCGrSxFYF5

One player that made some heads turn during the recent @Commanders Rookie Mini Camp was Undrafted Free Agent WR Allen Kazmeir from UCLA. This may be a boost to the kick return game!

Update: #Commanders 1st round pick, rookie CB Emmanuel Forbes, has "immediately turned heads" at practice.

One coach compared a play he made on the ball to #Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs.

“Forbes is really f---ing good.”

NFL Draft Analyst @Jordan_Reid reflected on Sam Howell's potential on the John Keim Report.

He appeared to be a little lukewarm in his praise.

As I've shared before, the season hinges on the production and synergy of Howell and OC Eric Bieniemy. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/Zo3K4iuRvN

Camp hasn't even started which is why I am no longer discussing QBs until
