Hail To The District Podcast Rajan Nanavati & Pat Rice

In their second annual version of this podcast, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati is rejoined by John to project how the top 10 picks of the NFL Draft will shake out, and their favorite bets to make based on those predictions. Highlights include: the Jayden Daniels vs. Drake Maye debate #2 for the Washington Commanders (4:42), the LA Chargers being the "Draft starts here" pick at #5 (16:50), if the New York Giants will trade up for a quarterback (22:15), the under-the-radar dark horse selection for the Titans at #7 (29:24), the Jets debating offensive line or Brock Bowers at #10 (44:45), their favorite team-position prop bets (52:31), and their favorite player over/under prop bets (1:02:04).

Because misery loves company, HTTD's Pat Rice voices out loud the inevitable truth after the Washington Commanders' loss against the New York Giants this past Sunday: it's time for the Ron Rivera regime to come to a close, as we finally close the book on everything to do with the cursed Dan Snyder era.

After the Washington Commanders' 14-7 loss to the New York Giants today, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati resurfaces the dirty truth about Ron Rivera's tenure in Washington: after 3+ years, this team has toiled in mediocrity and shown virtually zero signs of improvement. In other words: this entire regime needs to be dismissed if this franchise has any hope to compete in the future.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice reconvene to vent about a Washington Commanders' win over the Atlanta Falcons that almost felt like a loss. They talk about Desmond Ridder and Arthur Smith throwing this game away for Atlanta (2:50), if Washington's pass catchers are quietly to blame for all the sacks Sam Howell is taking (11:22), Jack Del Rio's uncanny ability to allow touchdowns on the opening drive of every game (22:11), whether Ron Rivera being dismissed at the end of this season is still a foregone (34:00), and an early favorite of ours for the next head coach (36:51).

NOTE: This was recorded Wednesday, October 4th. HTTD's Pat and Rajan convene for a mid-week episode to discuss their thoughts on the Washington Commanders through the first four weeks of the 2023 season. They discuss Sam Howell (obviously), the defense leaving much to be desired, key players to date and moving forward, and their thoughts on the remainder of the Commanders' schedule.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati provides a short and miserable recap of the Washington Commanders' 37-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That includes recognizing the fact that Buffalo is a really good team, calling out the fact that Washington repeatedly squandered chances to compete in this game, and identifying the most critical takeaway moving forward -- specifically in terms of quarterback Sam Howell.
