Alright, the Brandon Iuke nonsense will not go away. This latest thing, the practice film picture on Tik-Tock was quite dumb.

The big man's still in Europe, so I'm bringing in a pinch hitter somebody I don't believe we've ever

had on the podcast for a very wide-ranging commanders conversation let's do it. Let's do it. What up everybody?

It is J.P. Finley.

It is Beltway Football.

We're brought to you by Orsman Automotive of Virginia, like we always are, we arrive at those guys those guys want you to do the same thing

I'm driving around in a new forerunner from Orsman Fairfax Toyota they took great care of me

Me and the big man have been getting cars from those guys they do a great job the big man still in

Switzerland that's right Switzerland for the big man so joining me today I'm pretty

excited is Al-Galdi I don't out I don't know if you've ever been on whatever name this

podcast has had over the years. Am I right or wrong on that? Yeah, no, you're right.

This is the the maiden voyage. So I'm happy to be making my debut appreciate it.

Yeah, dude. We're happy to have you. I mean, I have gone on you and I have talked on Redskins related issues on a number of different

platforms now over the years at a number of different stations and I mean part of

it's kind of the wild locality of media but where are you just big picture with where the team is now like just the Washington, D.C. area my whole life. I grew up as a Redskins fan. I was like a cognizant

fan for like the back half of the glory days. So like my first season of like

actually being aware of sports was 87 so it was that

Super Bowl season with Doug Williams and so like that's what I grew up with

that's what I came to know and like so many people you know we spent the last 30

years kind of waiting on a return to a time period like that and it's funny man as these last 30 years have happened I've really come to more and more appreciate what I had as a kid with so many people had as kids and it's like you don't know when you're in the glory days you don't know that you're in the glory days and if I could go back and tell my 1987 self it would be hey enjoy this because you're going to go a while without something like this but in terms of where they're at now I love it I mean I think we all know that like nothing's for sure but to have this marriage of new ownership, new football operations department, new coaching staff, new quarterback, a bunch of new players, I think there's a lot to like. I'm a big Josh Harris fan.

I think actually looking back on that ownership process it's very

fortuitous that Harris was the guy because if I could undo it I wouldn't undo
