There are reasons for Capitals and Wizards to move. They’re all sad.

On the two teams, their arena and neighborhood — and why I don’t want them to move to Virginia. washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/12…

Tyreek Hill on whether he was surprised to see man coverage on his 78-yd TD:

“Not for real man, because those guys are great at what they do and they also get paid. But at some point it’s like, man. I don’t know, man. I just appreciate it. Thanks for not respecting me, I guess.”

The Giants have given up nine sacks and have zero yards rushing.

Somehow the Giants lead the Commanders, 14-12.

How long before you forgot you watched this game?

TV has long powered college sports. But now, TV execs have the power in the endeavor. On Jim Harbaugh, Tony Pettiti, and serving a wide array of constituencies not in boardroom negotiations, but in public. washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/11…

His team is 4-5. There’s a lot of football still ahead. But I just don’t see how Ron Rivera makes a case to keep his job(s).

On a coach working in the present — without much of a future. washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/11…
