A $3 billion deal could bring the Commanders back to RFK Stadium, reversing decades of broken promises.

The episode opens with a rapid-fire recap of Washington sports, including the Commanders drafting Jaden Daniels. The first major topic is the RFK Stadium deal, which appears imminent with a $3 billion price tag; the Harris group would pay $2.5 billion while D.C. covers infrastructure. The hosts debate stadium design, advocating for a dome to host events like WrestleMania and improve fan comfort. They then shift to Commanders draft thoughts, debating whether to trade back from the 28th pick or target a running back like Bijan Robinson. The conversation touches on Aaron Rodgers' potential $10 million salary and Shadur Sanders, with criticism of Colorado retiring his jersey. The Wizards season recap focuses on Bilal Coulibaly's development and his buzzer-beater, with hosts predicting the team could double its win total next season. The NBA play-in tournament is discussed, with opinions on the Grizzlies and Hawks. The Capitals playoff preview centers on goalie Logan's health and whether the team is entering the playoffs cold. The episode concludes with the Offseason Movie Club reviewing 'Colombiana,' criticizing its thin plot and giving it a 1.5/5 rating, then selecting 'Sinners and Saints' for the next week.
