Cookie and I are so excited to watch the Washington Commanders take on the Arizona Cardinals tomorrow at our first game as new owners of the Commanders. The fans are excited, the city is on fire, and the players are definitely ready. Go Commanders!

God is so good…I still can’t believe it! I am currently living in an answered prayer. Since beginning my journey as an athlete and now businessman and team owner, it's all been a dream that has come full circle. I grew up playing football as a kid, I’m a huge NFL fan, and I watch games every week. Now, I get to co-own a storied franchise, the Washington Commanders.   I’m especially thankful to Josh Harris who allowed me to be one of his partners with the Commanders. He is an amazing man, great friend, incredible businessman, proven owner and winner with the Philadelphia 76ers. Josh and his team have been first class throughout this entire process. Our ownership team is committed to the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia community and fanbase to bring a winning team and best in class organization.

What a great day! To be an NFL owner of the Washington Commanders, this is one of the greatest days of my life. The way the fans received us, the way the employees are fired up and the amazing Redskins alumni…WOW. The players are ready to go out and perform on Sunday!

It saddens me so much that (some) parents of disabled children are sending me outraged messages about this. It is not controversial to say that non-disabled people should not lead the disability movement. You are our allies! You contribute so much! But you don’t get to lead.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker says it typically takes him only 1.3 seconds from the snap until he kicks the football. Tucker told 60 Minutes that just one-tenth of a second can be the difference between success and failure. cbsn.ws/3wOQ2HW

John Clayton, one of our NFL insiders who expertly covered the league for more than 20 years at ESPN, died Friday at 67 after a brief illness. We all learned something from "The Professor" over the years and we will miss him dearly.

We are all equal. I have no tolerance for oppression of and injustice toward against anyone. Enough. Viscardi will soon start a review of structural oppression and a series of listening and learning sessions. We'll measure the difference a year from now. TY, Public Voices!
#COVID19 reinforces the existence of a societal hierarchy of whose lives are most valued in America. It's time to reverse this. Powerful piece from Encore #PublicVoices Fellow @john_d_kemp bit.ly/3g1RdsG @EncoreOrg @TheOpEdProject

“Listen, I know it’s been a tough year for the Redskins. But Haskins and McLaurin have the potential to be great. If Guice can stay healthy and then you add Chase Young and find the right head coach things can get better.” nitter.gq/sadiealeewhite/status/…
