Washington Redskins

Oddsmakers think it’s possible the Washington Redskins will rename themselves the Washington Capitols

The NHL’s Washington Capitals could share the same space as the NFL’s Washington Capitols, according to oddsmakers. This ridiculous possibility was spawned by developing news with the Washington Redskins.

Thursday night, ABC 7 News reported that FedEx asked the Washington Football team to change its racist nickname. FedEx, of course, owns the naming rights of Dan Snyder’s Landover football field. FedEx CEO Frederik Smith is a minority owner of the team.

“We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name,” FedEx said in a statement.

The Washington Redskins selected Ohio State DE Chase Young with the second overall pick. There’s already a bobblehead of him.

The Ron Rivera era has officially begun in DC and it appears the new administration aced their first test.

The Washington Redskins stayed put and selected Hyattsville, MD, native Chase Young with the second overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Young, who owns Ohio State’s single-season record for sacks (16.5), recorded 32 tackles and six forced fumbles last season. National analysts see the six-foot five-inch defensive end as a generational talent. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist.

“It would be an honor if the Redskins selected me,” Young said recently. “My hometown team – that’s definitely an exciting factor to it.”

Not only did Young, who played football and basketball at DeMatha Catholic High School, realize his NFL dream tonight, he also been immortalized in his first bobblehead, which excited Redskins fans can purchase here.

The bobblehead was released shortly before the NFL draft. It’s one of the first pieces of merch available for the Redskins’ new draft pick. Also available is Chase Young’s first jersey as a Redskin and some signed merch.

John Walton pointed out that the Capitals outscored the Redskins on Sunday

The Washington Redskins got shut out by the San Francisco 49ers 9-0, Sunday, in a soggy, mud-filled game at FedEx Field. It was the DC football team’s sixth loss in seven games of what is already another harrowing season.

Later that night, Capitals radio announcer John Walton, who always stays up and up on local DC sports current events, put in perspective just how bad things are for the Redskins after TJ Oshie scored the Capitals’ first goal of the game.

The Capitals are successful and it’s unsurprisingly making the Washington NFL team mad

I woke up this morning and felt it in my bones. I was going to be mad about Daniel Snyder again, but this time it was going to be tied to the Capitals’ success.

Chris Russell chatted with the good folks at 106.7 the fan and let them know that he wasn’t in the room where it happened, but he was told by multiple people in THAT building…that the Washington NFL team owner Daniel Snyder and team president Bruce Allen are unhappy about the Washington Capitals’ success.
