Winning the bidding to own the Commanders will be hard enough. Then the real work starts.

The treatment of families, perhaps more than any other category, speaks to the Commanders organization's lack of humanity. We are talking about, for the most part, women and children here.

Skipper Dan the Sailing Man has left a multitude of victims and a trail of destruction in his wake over the years. But I wonder if he understands -- when he looks in the mirror every morning -- does he realize he has screwed over the man in front of him as much as anyone?

Ted Lerner's legacy, capped by bringing baseball and a World Series title back to Washington, is as rich and accomplished as that of any lifelong resident of Washington.

If the Philadelphia Eagles manage to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII Sunday -- and I believe they will -- Washington Commanders fans will lose a coveted place in bragging rights between the NFC East teams.

It appears that the first Washington Commanders Fan Cruise has sunk before the ship has even boarded.

The decision to sit Heinicke in favor of Wentz is reason enough to fire Rivera. But add to that the bizarre postgame comments, in which Rivera seemed surprised that because of the loss to the Browns, his team faced playoff elimination if the Packers defeated the Vikings later that day.

Ron Rivera publicly committed to Taylor Heinicke. Imagine what he told the journeyman quarterback behind closed doors. I suspect it was a more passionate pledge, as coaches typically do to their players in those moments. There was no such commitment Tuesday.

This is clear -- the Giants are tougher. Washington has a better roster of players. But New York's roster plays at a higher level of intensity and has bought in fully to rookie coach Brian Daboll's message of commitment, just a bit more than Ron Rivera's players have.
