A note from Rick's daughters: Thank you for your support around Dad's final book, "Jayden Daniels: Smooth Operator." In classic Rick fashion, he'd planned to sell a limited number himself - we'd like to see that through. Read his final post and purchase: ricksniderswashington.com/20…

Hollywood actor, Montgomery County native and Commanders fan Jon Bernthal was at today's practice. He told a group of reporters, "it feels so good to be a Commanders fan. It feels like it was back in the day." The Punisher liking what he sees from the Burgundy and Gold!
