    There's a brand new name in the ownership hunt to discuss as well as a draft discussion to be had

    There's a brand new name in the ownership hunt to discuss as well as a draft discussion to be had

    JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey commence this Washington Football Talk by chatting about Steve Apostolopoulos, who's reportedly yet another name in the Commanders' ownership hunt. After covering Steve A's arrival, the guys move onto Anthony Walker's visit but lack of signing — which features a JP-produced theory that Pete disagrees with and eventually angers JP because of his disagreement — before answering a draft question that Pete poses: Will Washington draft a tight end OR corner in the first round, or will they go with any other position on the board? That segues into a larger-scale conversation about how Ron Rivera is (and should be) approaching the 2023 campaign. And finally, you'll hear JP's recent interview with the newly-signed Andrew Wylie, who provides awesome insight on Eric Bieniemy. If you like podcasts where one host totally leaves the other two out to dry and Wylie details his relationship with Christmas trees, then this is the episode for you.

    Giving our thoughts on the sale of the Commanders approaching the goal line and the signing of Jacoby Brissett

    Giving our thoughts on the sale of the Commanders approaching the goal line and the signing of Jacoby Brissett

    JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey devote half of this Washington Football Talk to the sale of the team advancing further down the field and half of it to the arrival of Jacoby Brissett. In the first portion, JP provides an update on what he's hearing about the Commanders' pending ownership change as well as some key dates to look at. The guys then transition to what they make of the Brissett signing and what it means for Sam Howell. They also recap the recent introductory pressers for Brissett, Andrew Wylie, Nick Gates and Cody Barton and touch on the departure of O-line coach John Matsko. If you like podcasts where JP legitimately fears that he's getting pulled over and Pete dismisses Amari Cooper's talents, then this is the episode for you.

    Goodbye and good luck, Taylor Heinicke

    Goodbye and good luck, Taylor Heinicke

    JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey say hello in this Washington Football Talk by saying goodbye to Taylor Heinicke, who is reportedly going to join the Falcons. During that section, the guys wish Heinicke well but also explain why his departure makes sense. From there, they cover the many moves the Commanders made on Monday, focusing mostly on the offensive line additions. If you like podcasts where Mitch is desperate to get to the O-line segments and Pete gets surprisingly excited about the acquisition of Cameron Dantzler Sr., then this is the episode for you.

    EMERGENCY POD: Daron Payne and the Commanders agree to terms on an enormous new contract

    EMERGENCY POD: Daron Payne and the Commanders agree to terms on an enormous new contract

    JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey quickly united for this festive Washington Football Talk, which was recorded just after news of Daron Payne's new contract broke. The guys pass along what they love about the deal, address what skeptics of it may say and more as they react to Payne's big score. If you like podcasts where JP performs some very capable math for once and there's a request for listeners to send in random impressions, then this is the episode for you.

    Identifying three realistic free-agent targets for the Commanders, plus JP (and B-Mitch's) interview with Andy Reid

    Identifying three realistic free-agent targets for the Commanders, plus JP (and B-Mitch's) interview with Andy Reid

    JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey devote the bulk of their time toward previewing free agency for Washington, but they begin by discussing Mitchell Rales, who's a new name to know in the club's ownership situation. After covering Rales, the guys then each identify the one soon-to-be Commanders free agent that they believe the team should bring back before then looking outside for an external player the franchise ought to sign, too. From there, you'll hear JP and Brian Mitchell's interview with Andy Reid (which was originally recorded on the BMitch & Finlay radio show) where Reid hypes up Eric Bieniemy's coaching style and potential impact on his new employer. If you like podcasts where Mitch asserts himself but scares Pete while doing so and JP's optimism over a Daron Payne extension increases, then this is the episode for you.

    Touching on the national skepticism about Sam Howell as QB1 and reacting to Pete's 2023 NFL Draft crush

    Touching on the national skepticism about Sam Howell as QB1 and reacting to Pete's 2023 NFL Draft crush

    A back-home JP Finlay, a battling-a-sickness Mitch Tischler and an ankle-sprained Pete Hailey united for this version of Washington Football Talk, which begins with ownership back-and-forths but includes plenty of football chatter, too. Among that football chatter: Sam Howell's status as QB1, a tepid free agency preview, the Commanders' getting slammed in that NFLPA survey and Pete's official NFL Draft crush for 2023. If you like podcasts where Pete recaps a chance to relive his glory years that ended in a lack of glory, then this is the episode for you.

Always like it…but…

@Jmai9 ,

Unfollow

I used to listen, but I can’t do it anymore. The show would be some much better without JP. He’s always interrupting and talking over his cohosts and guests and his loud rants are annoying and childish. This show is truly amateur hour because of the host.
