0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred forty-nine of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, September 5th, 2025. It is a football Friday. Both the NFL and college football regular seasons now are underway. And we have the 94th all-time regular season for the franchise currently known as the Washington commander starting
0:38.5	this Sunday afternoon. Commanders versus the New York Giants at Northwest Stadium this Sunday
0:43.9	afternoon at 1. Let us get properly fired up for commanders' giants. December 7, 1986,
0:52.3	the Redskins versus the Giants at RFK Stadium in a massive game in the 86 regular
0:58.1	season. The skins were 11 and 2. The Giants were 11 and 2. This was what the NFC East was back then.

2:18.8	And their unheralded pass blockers will have to contend with Dexter Manley, one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
2:25.6	Manley relishes the spotlight. And today it shines brightly in the season's biggest game.
2:36.7	Joe Morris ran the Giants to victory in their first meeting, but today's rematch is at
2:41.2	RFK Stadium where the skins are hard to beat and where tickets are impossible to find.
2:50.4	Yeah. How about that? How great was that?
