    Dec 18 2025
    Chris Russell kicks off the show by breaking down the Commanders’ remaining schedule, which features two matchups against the Eagles and one against the Cowboys, all within the NFC East. He poses two key questions to listeners: first, does anyone care about the “moral divisional title” that Dan Quinn mentioned on Hard Knocks, referring to the team with the best record against division opponents being considered “division tournament winners”? And second, how should fans want the Commanders to finish the season; win out, lose out to improve draft position, or somewhere in between? Chris shares his own perspective on these questions before opening the phone lines later in the show.
