Yo! I’m taking on a new role @PostSports to cover national sports features. I’m stoked for this new challenge. What do you want to hear about?

WaPo should honor Dan’s incredible run by reprinting this as a commemorative issue:

Going thru boxes from my parents. Still remember reading this in my room as a kid. Feinstein was a giant.

A first on "All Ears with JP Finlay"... we go to the library! Here's a preview of "Library of Luck" from the show, as @JPFinlayNBCS delves into @Sam4TR's story on the #Commanders & their luck S/o @dckerNBC4 on the graphics #RaiseHail Full show here: youtube.com/watch?v=nzo0IO…

Just want to stress to readers out there that while we hear your concern about all the changes to our print paper, we on the Metro desk are not going anywhere and remain committed to the mission of local news.

We polled each DC council member on the specific changes they are pushing to make to the RFK Stadium deal. Mendelson said he would aim to hold a vote on the deal "as soon as possible" after a public hearing, which was set yesterday for July 29 & July 30. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

This is a rip-roaring, fascinating look at a guy who's trying to upend the NFL insider game -- and doesn't really care what traditional journalism ethics say, featuring @colincowherd, @keyshawn, @RapSheet @Money23Green washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/06…

What should we make of an NFL insider who hosted one star player at his home, vacationed with another, sent expensive gifts to league executives and got in the most famous Starbucks confrontation in NFL insider history?

One former Commanders reporter giving a proper send off to now another

On video with ⁦@Sam4TR⁩ aka “Sammy Swole” aka Sammy Tik Tok. The role of luck in the Commanders’ success; Jayden Daniels’ trust in his targets and how That helps. Much more. ⁦@ESPNRichmond⁩ youtu.be/4xHT6XXOPkE

Joined by @sam4tr on his departure tour: talking the role of ‘luck’ in the Commanders’ success last season (listen before commenting. I know, silly concept); led to a discussion on Jayden Daniels and the trust he places in teammates. More. @ESPNRichmond podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/joh…

Luck is an interesting concept. Washington got good breaks last year for sure, but I think people sleep on the importance of Dave Gardi and how the Commanders prep for late game situations. Also, Jayden.

Before the Nationals lost their eighth straight game, Dave Martinez said he talked to his players. He also said his comments weren’t directed at them. But one source said players were “shocked, dismayed and pissed.” More about Saturday’s comments: washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/06…

WR Noah Brown is getting an MRI this afternoon, Dan Quinn said. He declined to specify what injury Brown suffered at practice Wednesday.

He went down during 7v7. Threw his helmet after being helped to the sideline.

RB Brian Robinson looks “really healthy,” Dan Quinn said, and he saw the speed and agility in one specific cut Tuesday. “He’s had a good offseason,” he added, which Robinson knows is key in a contract year.
