Welcome back. Junkies come to you live on 106, 7 the fan, and the team 980 here in the DMV.

0:06.8

We mentioned it earlier.

0:08.6

The Washington commanders are the oldest team in the NFL.

0:11.8

How troubling is this to you as a commanders fan?

0:16.2

If you look at this graph, I mean, the Packers are the youngest team in the NFL. Their average age is

0:23.7

slightly over 25. Eagles are second. Their average age is 25.49. The commander's average age,

1:34.0

2025. But I'm not going to be stunned if Bobby Wagner picks up some sort of small injury or

1:40.2

Austin Echler. Let's hope he can dodge the concussion, you know,
