So yeah, the Capybaras would be a good team name.

Sir, I'm going to need to see your ticket.

This is a leap. washingtonfootball.com has GoDaddy as the registrar.

The thing that's consistent about NFL websites is that they all use UltraDNS and commanders.com doesn't.

When/If that moves and points to Fastly, I think you can call it confirmed.

I do not think it is confirmed either, to be clear. It's fun seeing all the #lockitin theories though.

Hard to imagine them going with something that *isn't* troop-humping though.

It’s them “testing the waters” so to speak before they make the official announcement. They can always delay the announcement but they can’t take it back without looking like even bigger idiots than they already are.

Not only does it suck, but based on the (Admittedly meh quality shaky helicopter footage) pictures it looks like they'll be changing their uniforms too. The WFT kept the old pattern and just removed the logo, which I think was good. Washington's uniforms really haven't changed in decades, it's a classic look, and trying to update it probably won't end well. It reminds me of Tampa Bay and Cleveland making big updates in 2014-2015, everyone hating them almost immediately, and then both teams switching back to essentially their previous uniforms again as soon as the five-year limit on changes was up.

Of course, it's a way for Snyder to make money, so he'd probably do it just for that reason.

Of course, then he can sell you the classic retro jerseys in 3 years or so.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The problem with that name is that it doesn't just lend itself to the nickname "Commies", it practically demands it.
