RIP Dave Butz. One of the best interior defensive linemen in Redskins history. And the man who had the most iconic helmet in Skins history. #Commanders

Ruled out for Sunday:
WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring), LB Cole Holcomb (foot), LB David Mayo (hamstring) and RB J.D. McKissic (neck).— John Keim (@john_keim) November 4, 2022
Rivera said they’re hoping to get Jahan Dotson back next week.

Chase Young won’t play Sunday. Still want more conditioning; a little rusty with technique. Coaches feel some more little things to work on to get where needs to be. Rivera: “He did have a very good week.”

Terry McLaurin was just shown on the big screen at Wizards-Nets and they played ‘left hand up, who are we, the Commanders’ at Capital One Arena. Guess it’s catching on.

A second suspect, 14-years old, has been arrested in the attempted armed robbery of Brian Robinson (@BrianR_4). We greatly appreciate the diligent work of the detectives and MPD. Brian is grateful for all of the support and looks forward to great things ahead with the @Commanders

Per the Financial Times, Bezos is the front runner and it’s not a “maybe” to Jay-Z, they flat out say those two are preparing a bid.

Who will be the @Commanders new owner?
How much will the team sell for?
You can bet on it.

I want an owner who is 100% dedicated to winning a championship(s). I want an owner who has integrity and sets the same vision for the workplace. I’m not saying a “perfect” person but someone who is the antithesis of Snyder in every way.
— Disco (@discoque5) November 4, 2022
Most important characteristic of a new owner is demonstrated ability to build an effective dynamic organization . It can’t be about anything else. The goal is not only to have an organization fans can be proud of – but a WINNING franchise. That’s what I’m looking for on a resume

Jerry Jones says he isn’t surprised by the potential sale of the Commanders https://t.co/Xvb4TYMeE0

It’s still too soon to tell if a Bezos/Jay-Z partnership will materialize (or if Snyder will sell the team as insiders expect). But it would be a formidable duo. Bezos has the money; Jay-Z would stand to become the most powerful Black co-owner in the NFL. https://t.co/fFIbpw1vDz

Jay-Z’s people have been mum so far. Bankers told @FOS that the silence bodes well for Jay-Z’s seriousness about being an owner. These deals are worked out among bankers/lawyers — not on social media. Jay-Z has been interested in NFL ownership for a while.https://t.co/VUB22New2Y
— A.J. Perez (@byajperez) November 4, 2022
Jay-Z would likely have distance himself from Roc Nation. He had to sell his 0.15% ownership in the Nets — a team he helped get to Brooklyn — a few years back to launch Roc Nation. The agency reps NBA players and about 60 NFL players, so that conflict would have to be resolved.

Tony Pollard has more yards this season (506) than Ezekiel Elliott (443) despite receiving only 81 carries to Zeke’s 109.
It’s obvious to everyone but Jerry Jones who should be getting most of the carries on the #Cowboys offense. pic.twitter.com/rqbvP2wWGH

Today, NFL game officials received this note from Troy Vincent, the league’s top football operations executive. pic.twitter.com/nt7kubfnBz

Clearly, NFL is happy with officiating. Time of game thru week 8 is 3:02:03, down more than 2 mins from this point in 2021. Officials are calling an avg. of 9 competitive fouls (like DPI, OPI, holding) per game (down from 2021). Teams also commit an avg. of 5 dead ball fouls.

Well the time has come, some of you are aware but why not let the rest of you in on it. I have prostate cancer. No other way to put it, it sucks to get that news. I swore I was invincible. Nope. My family and close friends have been great, we caught it early and have a high
