JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and a borderline-out-of-control Pete Hailey start this Washington Football Talk with some unintentional tomfoolery and then conversations about Terry McLaurin's probable absence from next week's OTAs and whether the Commanders whiffed by not signing James Bradberry. Once they take care of those topics, they toss to a bunch of interviews that JP got at a recent event hosted by Julie Donaldson. In all, JP catches up with Julie, Santana Moss, Doug Williams, Doc Walker, Fred Smoot and Logan Paulsen. If you like podcasts where the hosts attempt to make a bride-to-be's weekend a little more fun and JP gets cranky with an overly-fast driver on the road with him, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey launch this Washington Football Talk by discussing the possibility of joint practices in training camp with another squad and looking at one issue with the Commanders' schedule, particularly its latter half.

Whyno also answers a couple of questions about the Capitals' future. If you like podcasts where JP's mind has apparently gone to Carolina and a Jags supporter explains why the hell he's a Jags supporter, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have pored over the Commanders' 2022 regular-season schedule and are here to tell you everything they think about it. They begin by passing on their general observations — the lack of star QBs to deal with, the easy-looking start, etc. — before doing their annual (and painstaking) game-by-game predictions for the full 17-game slate. As is tradition, there's a lot of mid-May talk about the playoffs — plus a surprise edition of 100 chips. After plenty of schedule analysis, Mitch and Pete clear the way for JP to launch into a major rant about a recent incident on the golf course. If you like podcasts where JP sets a trap for Pete (one that Pete steps right into) and Mitch's graciousness is discussed, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start up this Washington Football Talk by looking at the recently-released James Bradberry. How soon will the ex-Panthers cornerback be in burgundy and gold? After that, they welcome on Joe Ferreira, who used to put together the NFL's schedule and who's very knowledgeable about the process. Since the next edition of the schedule is coming out this Thursday, Ferreira is the ideal guest to have on to cover how the entire thing is assembled and also bounce theories and predictions off of. Then, to close, JP, Mitch and Pete return to each make one proclamation about what'll be on the Commanders' 2022 schedule. If you like podcasts where Pete makes a diet adjustment following his recent choking debacle and a popular fan theory is shut down by an expert who'd know, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey spent their Friday afternoon in Ashburn watching rookie minicamp then drove over to JP's porch so they could comfortably recap the session together. To begin, the three of them work from Jahan Dotson down to Christian Holmes, passing along observations about each of the Commanders' draft picks after seeing them in person for the first time. They also do a One Thing segment, which includes thoughts about Ron Rivera's pre-practice presser. After about 50 solid minutes of football talk, JP, Mitch and Pete then transition to an argument/review of a controversial moment that happened during practice and involved all three of them, a dry sandwich and plenty of yelling.

An increasingly worn out JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey congregated in Pete's car again to analyze what the Commanders did in rounds two and three of the 2022 NFL Draft. Were the selections of Phidarian Mathis and Brian Robinson Jr. understandable, confusing, or both? And what do they say about where Washington is trying to go? The guys kick those segments around before grading Thursday and Friday together. Once they say goodbye and try to get some sleep, you'll hear a seriously good interview between JP and Jahan Dotson, who brings up his love for football (and, literally, a football), what he'd say to critics who question his size and how his mom's cancer battle impacts his outlook on life. If you like podcasts where Dotson is going to win you over and the hosts read an email that you very well may relate to, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey (and, eventually, Ethan Cadeaux) gathered in the parking lot at the team facility in Ashburn for this Washington Football Talk, which acts both as a recap of Ron Rivera and Martin Mayhew's Monday pre-draft press conference and a preview of the festivities that are upcoming this weekend. During their time together, the hosts reflect on the updates(-ish) on Chase Young and Curtis Samuel, analyze the lack of workout videos posted to social media featuring Young, respond to the Commanders' hard push to sell Carson Wentz and debate the merits of drafting a corner vs. a wide receiver at No. 11. To close out their preview of the draft, each of the four fellas gives their prediction of whom the Commanders will select in the first round. From there, they toss to an interview with standout Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean, who gives excellent responses about his future in the league and what he makes of Pete and JP's milk consumption habits. After Dean, you'll hear from Joey Colby-Begovich, a VP of Guest Experience for the Commanders who hands out pertinent info relating to the club's FedEx Field Draft night party.

JP Finlay put his vacation on pause to hop on a Zoom with Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to bring you this Washington Football Talk.

After that, they toss to JP's interview with ESPN draft expert Jordan Reid, who was kind enough to share his wide-ranging knowledge about Drake London, Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, Kyle Hamilton, Derek Stingley Jr., George Pickens, Skyy Moore, Jordan Davis, Bailey Zappe, Jerome Ford, Zamir White and Carson Strong. Yes, the man knows his stuff. If you like podcasts where there's an update on Pete's cat's latest misstep, then this is the episode for you.

After that, they hone in on Chase Young, a segment inspired by a tweet that JP sent this past week comparing Young to Nick Bosa. From there, Mitch violates the strictly footballness of the show to bring up something he's been pondering regarding the club's stadium hunt.

So, instead, the trio gives their summary of and reaction to Congress requesting that the Federal Trade Commission look into allegations made against Dan Snyder and other Washington execs regarding financial misconduct. There's a lot to get to, so much so that Pete sought out info from his dad, a former lawyer. Is this all a BIG deal, a big deal or just another deal? The hosts all give their opinion on that before moving on to a Deebo Samuel/Terry McLaurin/contract extension discussion, where they try to pin down just how much McLaurin could be seeking from his team. If you like podcasts where you hear from a way smarter member of the Hailey family than Pete and JP compares the Commanders to the movie "Office Space," then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler (both from Florida) and Pete Hailey got together to break down the Commanders-centric storylines that are developing at the NFL's annual league meetings in Florida. First, the hosts discuss Ron Rivera's desire to be judged solely on wins and losses and not the franchise's reputation as a whole. Is that a fair wish?

For one last time until September, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to record a preview podcast. The guys don't spend a *ton* of time on the matchup with the Giants itself, but they do debate whether it's best for Washington to win or lose the finale and also wonder if the franchise is messing up one crucial aspect of its name release. Once they say goodbye, you'll then get JP's interview with Tress Way (which Pete crashes at the end) as the punter once again makes a strong appearance on the show and covers all types of storylines. If you like podcasts where JP predicts a score this weekend that has never happened before and Tress explains how the Washington Football Talk crew has inspired him in his life, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview Washington's second tilt with the Eagles this year and are very intrigued to see how Ron Rivera's team handles this particular matchup. Will they show up with pride or will they roll over and close out FedEx Field with a whimper? That's something they kick around before discussing what next year's QB room could look like and why Terry McLaurin isn't getting targeted more. From there, they run through their pregame segments and then toss to a really fun interview between JP and Tim Settle, where the defensive lineman explains how he's been able to stay positive despite his limited playing time, passes along a first-person account of the Allen/Payne fight and reacts to his alma mater getting beaten down in their recent bowl game. Also, JP's recent 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera is tacked on at the end, too.

From there, they return to a more honed-in angle by previewing Sunday's matchup before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jaret Patterson, where the rookie running back explains how he's settled into the NFL and how he'll handle a bigger role in Dallas if he gets one.
