LOVERRO: Quinn bets it all on fast-rising Blough

Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour, a decision that should have surprised no one.
LOVERRO: Adding an All-Star who adds little encapsulates the Wizards' approach

LOVERRO: Quinn's misfire on 2 coordinators puts focus squarely on head coach

Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn held a press conference Monday afternoon, presumably to face accountability and responsibility for a 5-12 season.
NBA season has some surprises, good and bad, as it nears the midway point
The NBA regular season is nearing the midway point -- some teams will start hitting the 41-game mark, the halfway mark of the 82-game slate, this weekend -- and surprise stories have emerged in many cases, some good, some bad. The Celtics are surely on the good side of that list.
LOVERRO: Historic year for local sports, even if biggest stories took place outside the lines
This may be hard to believe, based on the poor play by most local professional sports teams for much of the year, but 2025 was one of the most significant years in Washington sports history.
LOVERRO: Redskins resurrect? Lost season opens door to those fans pining for team's old nickname
What may have gotten lost in all the attention to a Christmas Day 30-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Northwest Stadium was that it was the Washington Commanders Fan Appreciation Day.

Well, now we know that there's a line in the sand that the Washington Commanders won't allow you to cross.
LOVERRO: Not hard to link Reiner's King Sturdevant to ex-Maryland star
Rob Reiner played King Sturdevant -- a hustler and minor league football quarterback for the Southern Illinois Warriors -- in a 1976 episode of "The Rockford Files" called "The No-Cut Contract," where he steals the show from its star, James Garner.
Scheffler winning PGA Tour player of the year was an obvious outcome
For the first time in three years, the PGA Tour did not release the voting percentage when Scottie Scheffler won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the tour's best player. It brings to mind the catchphrase from his famous soliloquy this summer at the British Open. What's the point?
LOVERRO: Red flags for this disappointing season were visible months ago
Commanders coach Dan Quinn revealed the anticipated news Monday afternoon -- the battered Jayden Daniels, who missed seven games with injuries, will not play another down this season.
LOVERRO: Seen this comedy routine before, and it's not funny
The parallels between Jayden Daniels' hurt elbow and Robert Griffin III's knee injury are eerie. All that's missing is Dr. James Andrews on the sideline wearing a Redskins beanie.
LOVERRO: Twisted logic, deluded arguments won't get Bonds, Clemens in Hall
The burying of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens on the latest Baseball Hall of Fame ballot has set off the Cheated Generation, who are expressing outrage at the injustice of cheaters being denied the game's greatest tribute.
LOVERRO: Blame for this miserable season? Try Quinn, his coaches, bad luck and the new owner, too
At the top of the list of play-calling priorities for the Commanders going into the Vikings game should have been to protect Jayden Daniels.
LOVERRO: Why isn't Jacoby in the Hall of Fame?
There must be a reason -- not a good one -- but still a reason that one of the anchors of the most famous offensive line in the history of football doesn't have a bust in Canton. It can't be because he is not qualified. Joe Jacoby went to four Pro Bowls and, more importantly, was named a three-time first-team All-Pro and appeared in four Super Bowls, winning three of them.
LOVERRO: Play for draft position? Wrong message for this franchise
This would have been a particularly sweet win for Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn.
