Good piece from Tashan.

Excited to be on the same team as you, Tashan. Thrilled to work with @tomschad.bsky.social, too. Our Commanders beat is whole again.

Sylvia Fowles, the greatest center never to flaunt greatness, actually has a big personality; she just preferred to make room for others. Column from @jerrybrewer.bsky.social

I wrote about the greatness and grace of Sylvia Fowles as she enters the Hall of Fame. The entire HOF class is a good one, and the women's group is all-time special. But don't overlook Fowles, whose accomplishments grow even more impressive with time. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

I think the Commanders trading for Deebo Samuel was a solid move, even though he is aging. Shared some thoughts about it here:

No need to insult Arizona State by calling it a moral victory, but I have plenty of love for Cam Skattebo and the Sun Devils for the way they came back and pushed Texas — and finally gave us a playoff game worth remembering.

Happy New Year from Atlanta, where I’m covering the Peach Bowl — and praying this College Football Playoff finally delivers a close game into the fourth quarter.

Merry Christmas! Wishing you more blessings than an average day for the Kansas City Chiefs.
