Defeating The [dc Sports] Curse

Kirk Cousins is officially a member of the Minnesota Vikings (LP was proven right all along), Case Keenum to the Broncos, and Teddy Bridgewater to the Jets. Join LP and FP to recap day one of NFL Free Agency where we saw several Redskins leave for more $$$ elsewhere. Who are the winners and losers of Free Agency? Redskins bring in Paul Richardson to help the offensive passing attack lead by Alex Smith. We can now officially welcome Alex Smith to Washington DC. It's time where we all root for Alex, the new quarterback here in DC. Oh yeah March Madness is about to start, less than 24 hours to join the DTC Bracket Challenge!

FP and LP discussed NFL Free Agency but Joe had to get them on the record about a few things including why they think Kirk Cousins wouldn't go to Cleveland. In this 30 minute podcast dedicated to Kirk Cousins FP, LP, and Joe jump back into the Cousins lottery and debate why the Browns would make a lot of sense. Wouldn't winning 5 or 6 games in Cleveland be equal to making the playoffs for any other team? Wouldn't spending the 1st and 4th pick on an offensive and defensive lineman plus resigning Isiah Crowell be enticing enough for free agents to consider the Browns as a team with true potential? The more Joe talked the more LP seemed to come around but FP was adamant; Cousins wants to win and win now.... Joe just isn't convinced that this is his last big contract and predicted a 6 year, $200m contract with 3 years and $100 guaranteed as the kind of offer Cleveland may offer!

The Wizards needed a win and they got it against the Heat! LP, FP, and Joe discuss the Wizards struggles over the past week while watching and discussing the Wizards vs Heat game in real time. Sessions is back, Wall is almost back, Morris is playing better, but Beal and Porter look tired and in need of rest heading down the stretch towards the playoffs. Join the boys as they discuss the big win for the Wizards and chat about instant replay in MLS soccer, the Capitals upcoming west coast trip, and what shows they are currently watching on Netflix/Hulu. This is a unique show recorded in real-time, don't miss it!

Kirk Cousins is long gone, the Redskins will not be tagging him. Alex Smith is the Redskins quarterback going forward. Join LP and FP as they gather their thoughts, over 1 month removed from the trade. They also talk NFL combine, NFL free agency, including WR picks for the Redskins. The talk shifts to the combine where we've heard from the Redskins Brass on free agent talks with Zach Brown and other pending Redskins free agents. Shaquem Griffin has throughly impressed everyone with his showing at the combine. LP and FP close out the show with some Wizards (We NEED John Wall back and healthy) and Capitals talk. 

The week in review series continues with Stevie, FP, and Joe discussing camels at Nationals spring training, Capitals finding their grove, the Redskins finally saying goodbye to Cousins (maybe?) and the Wizards continuing to play well without John Wall. Plus a few bonus thoughts on the continued state of decay over at ESPN, why the NBA season is predictable, and is Trump really going to fire his daughter? 

LP and Joe are on the mics discussing the week that was in DC sports. The duo discuss last weekends NBA All Star Weekend (0-9m), the Wizards continued roller-coaster season (9-18), the NBA at large (19-26), then switch gears to the Redskins (28-40), Kirk Cousins, tracking free agents, and end with a discussion on their favorite winter olympic sports (46-57). It is a long show but a good one. Tune in and share!

Stevie and Joe recap the events of the week starting with a focus on the shooting in Florida. In this never-ending newscycle both hosts had a few things to share. The show then pivots to a discussion about Alex Smith and a revisit of his trade and extension with the Redskins which then leads the boys into a conversation about Amazon potentially moving to DC and leads into a preview of the Nationals spring training which is just weeks away. This type of show is quick-paced and shifts a lot as it follows the thoughts of Steve and Joe but it is their favorite type to record because it is unscripted and raw. By the way, did you notice the Wizards are streaking without John Wall too? Tune in and share!

DeAndre Jordan is likely to be traded in the coming days and LP and Joe have some thoughts about how the Wizards might be involved and how this deal may get done! The duo is joined by Mina B, aka "Canada", to breakdown all things NBA including an insiders perspective on a Raptors team that appears to be vastly improved over last year. LP shares thoughts on the Wiz and their recent 5-game win streak without John Wall and begs Ernie to make the RIGHT move before the deadline to improve the team to challenge for the east! Could Lebron go to the Warriors? Might the Rockets be a landing spot for Joakim Noah? It is going to be a crazy few days! (Superbowl 0-2:30, Redskins 3-7:25, Raptors + Wizards 8-20:15, NBA West + Trade Rumors 23-End)

With much sadness and contempt, we must announce and confirm, the Philadelphia Eagles are champions. The NFC East continued to terrorize Brady & Bunch in the Super Bowl improving to 3-0 (Giants x2, Eagles x1) and the offseason has officially arrived. Now as Redskins fans we can't cheer for a division rival, and cheering for greatness is boring, so most of us were cheering for our money... but we lost most of our prop bets too. Tough night all around for Redskins fans but let's be honest... Pete from Philly deserves a moment or two to enjoy his championship and predicted the keys to the game perfectly last week. Stevie, Joe, and Pete recap the big game with an eye turned now to the offseason and what may or may not happen just a bit north on I-95. We are just 80 days away from the NFL draft...

Stevie, LP, Joe, and Pete from Philly discuss the upcoming Super Bowl between the Eagles and Patriots and shocker, only one of them is taking the Eagles while the three DC boys refuse to cheer for a division rival. Pete outlines the keys of the game for Philly while Stevie talks about why Brady will start much faster in this game and the potential of him retiring on stage at the end of the night. LP and Joe are still salty from the Redskins trading for Alex Smith but try to put that aside to discuss some of the more lucrative prop-bets for Sunday's big game. If you love the Eagles, the Patriots, gambling, or guys talking sports, don't miss this extended DTC podcast!

During the State of the Union address on Tuesday night news broke about a trade between the Washington Redskins and the Kansas City Chiefs sending Alex Smith to DC for an extension worth $71m. The specifics are still fuzzy but LP, FP, Joe, and Stevie all shifted from Wizards and POTUS to Redskins in shock. Was this Bruce Allen doubling and tripling down on his mistake? Was this Andy Reid taking advantage of the Redskins again by sending an aging quarterback to Washington? There are so many questions to answer but Joe in particular is just about ready to hang up his Redskins fandom once and for all and LP doesn't seem too far behind. Listen now and get raw fan reaction unfiltered and unapologetic.

The DC [Sports] Curse is a live and well, and we may have lost yet another round in the long battle, but we will win the war. In the second half of a back-to-back podcast, Stevie and Joe, discuss the upcoming start of Nationals spring training, the collapse of the Wizards, and look towards the Super Bowl with a few bold predictions ahead of next weeks long-form podcast on the final game of the NFL season. The Capitals could defeat the curse, the Wizards and Redskins unlikely, but the Nationals are our best bet right now... right? 

Its been a long time, but LP and FP got together to discuss the Redskins, the Superbowl and the potential draft prospects. The Goal was to not disucss the Kirk Cousins drama....That's basically only discussed the Kirk Cousins drama. The convo then pivots into FP claiming all QBs ranked from 5-25 are the same in quality. Sadly the news was also broken that our beloved Steve has been fired.

The DTC crew is back discussing all things Washington D.C. sports in this episode. There is no DTC podcast with at least talking the Kirk Cousins contract situation. FP, LP, and Joe all discuss the contract situation once again ahead of Kirk's charity event on 1/5/2018. The Wizards and the Capitals are heating up. The guys discuss the amazing job that Bradley Beal is doing, and the under appreciation that Marcin Gortat often gets. In NHL talks, the Vegas Golden Knights seem to have a real home ice advantage, is that a product of being in Vegas?

FP and LP in studio joined by a special guest PB to talk about the new craze in investments. Cryptocurrency. Bitcoin, litecoin, Ripple are all topics of converstation used in this podcast. On this one-off podcast that has nothing to do with DC sports, the guys talk about what is cryptocurrency, what the differences are and all you need to know to get started. Disclaimer: All adivce and talk in this podcast is personal opinion and not for investment purposes. Invest at your risk. 

The Redskins are riding a 2-game win streak after suffering a bad blow by the Chargers. After several days of internalizing what this means to the Redskins future, LP and FP are in studio to discuss all things Washington Redskins. Among many topics discussed LP and FP had to discuss the Kirk Cousins contract situation, the job the coaching staff has done, the injuries, and some players who are surprising even us, the biggest of homers. LP and FP finally discuss the meaningless game against the New York Giants with a final week 17 prediction. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the DTC family. 

With the playoffs seemingly out of reach the DTC boys reset expectations for the Redskins coming off a horrible loss at Dallas (2:20 - 11:30) and now headed to LA to face the streaking Chargers (12:15 - 20:30). Joe feels strongly that the team has a lot to play for as does FP, while LP thinks they should be in tank mode (21:00 - 26:50). Nick Hamilton, a reporter covering both the Chargers and Rams for NBC Los Angeles, joins the show starting after the break (27min mark) and breaks down the key matchups and shares his prediction for the game on Sunday. Can the Redskins travel to LA for the second time this season and pull out another win? Share your thoughts with us! #HTTR #HailVictory (photo: Chargers.com )

LP and Joe discuss all things Wizards and NBA plus a little bit of the Ball family drama and some bitcoin as well in this weeks episode of Week in Wizards. The team came out flat in Utah and rebounded one night later in Portland... so what can we learn about this team from one poor showing and one "less poor" showing? Well first, Brad Beal is a stud, but secondly, this team is going to struggle to replicate their success from last season. LP things 45 to 50 wins is still a reasonable target, Joe disagrees very strongly. If you love the Wizards and the NBA, listen to this episode! (photo credit: WaPo)

The Redskins went on national TV last night and embarrassed all of their fans and the entire city of Washington DC. It was such a bad performance that Stevie demanded to be heard and joined Joe on Facebook LIVE to vent and air it all out. This is not your regular sports podcast however as when these two get going the destination is always in question. If you want some insight into POTUS tweets or the tax bill, listen to the end. If you only want to hear about the Redskins, there is plenty of that as well in the first 20 minutes as the boys revisit the agony of defeat. Is the Redskins season over? The boys have strong opinions on this but we want to hear yours too! (photo credit: 

LP, FP, and Joe are joined by Tyler from the Enough the the B.S. Podcast to preview the Redskins at Cowboys matchup on Thursday Night Football. The term must-win gets tossed around a lot but for both teams the season is on the line and the Redskins need another division win to keep things interesting and on track towards a post-season birth. With injuries mounting, suspensions in play, and a (fake) short week of rest this division rivalry game is likely to be ugly, but can the DTC boys convince Tyler to pick against his Cowboys? Tune in, like, and share!...oh yea, the the boys discuss the color rush uniform issue as well! #HTTR #Hail Victory (photo credit: WaPo)
