You can't get much more comical than hiring a branch of the RON RIVERA tree to bail out Dan Quinn. This franchise is quicksand. Dan Snyder's worst years were 3-13. Let's see if these guys win 3.
The #Commanders have hired Steve Wilks to work with the defensive coaches under Dan Quinn and Daronte Jones, per me and @RapSheet. The decision to hire Wilks was made last month. He started last week. Wilks will help with game planning. He won't be with the team on game days.

Maryland fires football coach Mike Locksley. As a Terrapin fan, I applaud the overdue decision. As a Commanders fan, I am terrified the Washington NFL squad will add him to its staff. I fear that because they are always so creative in finding new ways to humiliate themselves.

The Vivek ad with Acton's mom suggests he believes he's on a trajectory to lose a reasonably close race & can't move the needle. A candidate with a lead would never do that, nor would one who thought he was cooked. But as in dating, desperation often seals a hopeful's fate.

DJT was asked about it in '25 and said he didn't know it was antisemitic, said he thought of it as any high-interest lender. Hard for him to say now that he doesn't know, since he was asked about it. He also uses shyster, which is not anti-semitic, but many people think it is.
ADL's statement on Trump using the word "shylock" in 2026 v. ADL's statement on Trump using the word "shylock" in 2025. A key difference

The game ended as it should have. Fire Dan Quinn, many people are saying.

Imagine if DC had kicked the field goal on fifth down in the first half. Now, they would be three points down. And they would have kicked a game-tying field goal.

A four year old could do a better job of clock management playing Madden with his eyes closed.

Face mask on the offense — correct call — but how many helmet to helmet hits by Niners have done uncalled? Is it because our guys are wearing helmets that Niners are allowed to do that on every play?

The Skins are in this game DESPITE Dan Quinn, not because of him.

Niners are so unbelievably dirty. Every play is a head shot. Helmet to helmet, fist to helmet. Plus the hip drop tackles.

It didn’t touch him, but also time to get rid of McCaffrey. Never has anyone benefited more from legacy than this guy who can’t get open, can’t catch, can’t receive kicks. How many better wide receivers are there playing pickleball at the senior center?

He never knows what down it is and it should be easy because it’s always 4th.
I’d say wow but that would mean I’m surprised.

The Skins are so good at holding on offense, they should play two-way so that their defense could get their hands on someone.

Super PACs and (c)4’s with extra jack sloshing around after determining there’s diminishing marginal value to each dollar spent on political ads *could* run geofenced ads that go only to Josh Harris and Magic Johnson with the short message “FIRE DAN QUINN!” Noting not advocating

If Dan Quinn ran a lemonade stand for an hour, it would give up 49 points.

Five years ago today, I lost my first love. And it ripped my heart open. I wrote this piece about love, still the most personal piece I’ve written to date.

Is this a backdoor endorsement of @GavinNewsom by @jakejsullivan through @RepGoodlander? Could have been its own story.
I don’t expect @politico to understand the back story #nhpolitics community is laughing their butts off on these competing quotes.
