Just talked to @ChmnMendelson on the show. He suggested the past DC opposition of the team moving back into the city while named Redskins had more to do with Dan Snyder than the name. Suggested he would have no problem with DC welcoming the team back with the name Redskins now.

8,000 spots in towering parking garages? That’s a fumble. A brand-new Metro station? Touchdown! Hear all about it from CM @charlesallen: (1/3)
