Please pray for John McNamara, who is among the Annapolis shooting victims and in critical condition. I've known him since college. Nobody loves Terps basketball or local sports more. I pray to see my friend again.

Well, today was a bad day. Suffered another and more serious stroke out of nowhere. I’ll be ok, but a harder road and life changes lie ahead. I’ll be largely out for at least a little while. Appreciate your prayers. Thank you all for being part of my life.

Jay was fired at a 5 a.m.meeting. Norv was told to report at 5 a.m. He always came to work at 5 a.m. anyway. That day, he showed up at 9 a.m. just to spite Snyder.

Why aren't the Redskins shopping players as this season heads to a 2-14 finish? Because they don't have a plan. They never have and never will with Allen. Just a smug GM who claims he knows what he's going and an owner who doesn't.

If the NFL is truly forcing Dan Snyder to sell, it needs to be done before he commits to a new stadium. And with a 2027 stadium deadline, a new owner won’t have much time to pick a venue. Lot of deadlines afoot.
