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.
If Bezos buys the Commanders, I say the stadium is renamed The Amazon, "Welcome to the Jungle" is the intro song and everyone dresses like their favorite animal. I'll die on this hill.
Rick Snider’s Washington says if the Kansas City Chiefs can keep their name while fans do the tomahawk chop and chant, then Washington can go back to Redskins. Gimme two minutes.
Hi everyone. Quick update that things have gone very well and I’m expecting to be released from the hospital after the 24-hour watch. Feel like the old me. Just have to see a neurologist to figure out why I’ve had two strokes in four months. Thanks to everyone for well wishes.
I want the University of Maryland to consider naming the press box after John McNamara. He loved Terps sports, was an alum and died as a journalist. I think it would be a great tribute so others remember him.
Eagles prez think Washington fans are classless after bragging of Sunday's win. Really? Eagles fans flooded FedEx last 2 years and talked trash, but Washington fans can't say anything. Go worry about your own team.
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.
So Deion Sanders supposedlyoffered to race those over 35 and
@darrellgreen28
is willing to take that bet. I'd pay cash money to see this one. D-Green would smoke Prime like a Thanksgiving turkey.
How hard did the new ownership work getting FedEx ready? They washed the two concrete ramps from tunnel to concourse. Never been done in 26 years. Was black and nasty. Now that’s attention to detail.
Virginia wants to offer $1 billion to gain the Commanders next stadium. As I Marylander, I applaud you. I wouldn't want a billion dollars of my tax money to go to a stadium for a billionaire to make more money.

should replace Larry Michael. He's young, but been around Redskins for more than 20 years, did PBP for Valor and Defenders. This is a no-brainer.
Thanks everyone for well wishes. I am feeling much better. Just have to learn why strokes keep happening before one takes me out. No pizza for four months down the drain. Oh well, thank you all again for prayers and keep praying. It helps.
That the Commanders sale is not on A1 of the Washington Post shows how little the paper cares about local news anymore. Years ago, it would have been the top story.
Not posting a video yet after reviewing what I just recorded. Too couched. So let me just say this for now - multiple sources say a deal has been made. Just can't say 100% who it's with and not guessing. After 45 years in biz, I'm not going out that way. 1/
Dan Snyder said he’d never, ever change the Redskins name. He did. Said he’d never sell and leave team to his kids. He’s selling. So why would we believe talk that Snyder would never sell to Bezos?
Well, if you just heard the Sports Junkies you now know my health issues. Minor stroke recently, but I’m ok and working on not working quite as much. Thanks for caring.
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.
Remember last year when "woke" companies like eBay, Etsy and Amazon said they wouldn't sell Redskins gear? Right now, eBay has 38,694 Redskins items for sale. Etsy has 1,377 and Amazon more than 7,000. Money>everything.
Lot of good news from docs today that I didn’t have a stroke or other bad things. Still testing, but off danger list. So, I’m making one change and eating pizza again. These are my new pizza scissors.
All for a a few statues of past Redskins greats, but with a new stadium coming and only Sean Taylor having played at FedEx, wait until next venue and create a park of legends that would be part of that year-round attraction the team wants.
Washington Football Team's reported rising to 84% now means about 25 players were recently vaccinated. Congrats on not blowing the season. Lets keep everyone healthy and get our lives back.
Bieniemy delivered a killer press conference today. I wish he would be more careful with cursing in front of public, but I really like this guy. He cares, pushes people to be their best. Would I want a boss like EB? Absolutely.
Since I'm tweeting, you can guess I'm feeling better. Came home last night, ate a chicken sandwich and fell asleep. Thanks for the overwhelming support.
I knew
@TandlerNBCS
for about 20 years. He loved covering the Redskins. Deserves more than a tweet so I’ll have a column up later today. Please include him in your prayers.
Ejecting Forbes in the opening drive was such a bad call. Even if league later says it wasn't right, the player is lost for the game. Just a real screw job by refs.
If HOF takes Tony Boselli after ignoring Joe Jacoby there is no justice. Boselli was overrated and a short career. Jacoby was really the best of the Hogs.
I didn't see Ben Johnson as the right fit for the Commanders. OC yes, not head coach. I'd take Mike Macdonald. Telling you, his thousand mile stare is designed to take you out.
Thanks everyone for prayers. Twitter has trolls but I’ve met so many nice people. I don’t talk about myself much despite the videos. Had a mini stroke, but I should be ok. Watching Dallas lose would make me feel better.
Man, 452 well wishers? I know Twitter gets a bad rap, but I’ve truly met many wonderful people here and appreciate your prayers. My mom is in the hospital again so say one for her, too. And dammit, make the Cowboys lose this game.
Some personal news: The Post Express is closing tomorrow and I’m out of a job for the third time in six years. Yeah, it sucks, but bad news at my age involves illness and death so really, I’ll be OK.
