I remember Cooley on with Sheehan a few years ago talking about the length of the season being brutal for guys. Its not just the season but with Camp starting in late july and sometimes your bye in say week 4 thats still late september october with contact. Then you have an additional 2-3 months during the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 "Why is it important for you all to handle Jack's comments in-house?" This was obviously asked by someone young who is accustomed to the "LOOKATME!!!" social media of the day, attention whoring and etcetera. You handle your business in-house. He was fined. That's the end of the media narrative. The players have a relationship with a guy, regardless his actual performance as a DC. That is the part that is handled in-house. Maybe it's still the second-generation Sicilian immigrant thing in me, but those conversations don't belong in the national picture. You do your laundry at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veteranskinsfan Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just heard Team 980 is changing their lineup. Medhurst and Russell will move from the afternoon to middays slot. Some new guy I have never heard of will take over their slot. I listened to him talk about himself for the last 15 minutes so not impressed so far. It will not be a two person team to cover the drive home time slot. I am sure Sheehan will keep his time slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy taking over their slot is Craig Hoffman he was the Commanders beat guy on 106.7 a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you something to look forward to and it kinda jumpstarts the football weekend for you. It kinda sucks when it’s your own team but it’s only a once a year thing and almost every team has to deal with it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like Craig. I'm not sure I would give him a solo afternoon drive-time show thought... There is a thread for this in the Tailgate. Bram has said this countless times, and take it for what it's worth because he's on a competitor radio station, but Audicy is running 980 as the kid-brother station really only to make sure 106.7 doesn't have competition. Finding the station Bram is on is almost impossible. I only listen to him on podcasts. I'm not sure if that helps his ratings at all, I hope it does. But 980 has basically become the kid brother station with the second tier talent and not a lot going on over there. It's a pity. The 106.7 lineup isn't great either. The market needs an infusion of new talent from somewhere. It's basically the same folks over and over and over, just re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic. And of all the guys who SHOULD have a prime spot, Galdi, he's not on the air anywhere and just podcasting his everloving heart out. I love his podcast, so I hope it stays that way. But he should be a feature voice in this market. I don't think there's anybody better. (Except he needs to stop having Thor Nystrom on. ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Anyone else get an email from Direct TV that they are getting NFL Ticket Max for free this season? They gave it to me for free last season as well but I either never got the email or accidentally deleted it and didn't even know until I called them to pay for it up front. This time I got the email (today). No idea why I am getting it for free (again), maybe they are looking at long time customers and trying to keep them incentivized not to drop the service? There really hasn't been any explanation as to why, but I'll take it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is really on top of his game and deserves a higher profile in the DC area on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 RIP #23. One of my favorites from my youth. I have an autographed pic of him I got at Coleman Cadillac the same night I got a Jerry Smith pic & autograph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far and away the best talent in the area. I think 1067 people outside of JP are just awful. Thank god for Galdi podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Was just reading that the daughter of Alex Smith has had emergency brain surgery on a malignant tumor. Shocking for the former QB and his family. Hopefully all is well moving forward, life is precious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the overall money I'm pointing out here, it's actually paying Terry fairly given his production and even with 3 years, so given how young he is, he could get paid bigger later, and protects us incase he's not the same guy three years from now. Beal wasn't nearly as good as Terry was last year yet getting supermax. Soto is terrifyingly bad this year yet getting offered the 2nd largest contract in baseball history. The Wizards and Nats caving like that to players clearly not worth that right now makes the Commanders look like geniuses.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Been watching old NFL games (mainly skins from 2012-2016/17/18) and man….I feel like this is the most talented offense ON PAPER that we’ve had since 2012, 2015, and 2016. Watching the 4 game win streaks from 2015 and 2016, I HOPE we can have that type of season this year with wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to watch old games from 1981-1991. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
