Chalk up another big win for the Washington Commanders, who have come a mighty long way in a very short time since what’s-his-name buried the dignity of that used-to-be-called franchise so deep into the mud.

Last week, the Commanders and native son owner Josh Harris announced a deal to bring the franchise home from the Maryland suburbs in 2030, pending D.C. City Council approval, with a $3.7 billion stadium project on the hallowed grounds of RFK Stadium.

On Monday came official word that the NFL draft, hosted by the Commanders, is coming in 2027 to the National Mall. Lights. Cameras. Monuments. And Mel Kiper, Jr.

Let the Congressional Record show: No way this gets done with Dan Snyder.

Yet here’s what was always possible, once the NFL was able to separate itself from the widely reviled Snyder in 2023 for the record sale tag of $6.05 billion: The NFL again has a signature franchise in the nation’s capital. Long-suffering fans wearing “Hog” noses and memories of the “Fun Bunch” are back on the bandwagon, ushering in a new generation. Politicos on Capitol Hill, even in these perilous times, might have reason again to come across the aisle for the sake of football?

Some of us will never be able to forget Dan Snyder. We're all still hoping his yacht sinks in the English Channel (with him on it).

Josh continuing to do things Snyder couldn't get done. I know it is frying his ass that this stadium will now happen. Suck it Danny Boy.
