0:00.0	And away we go, episode 1,220 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, December 17th, 2025. It is the day after
0:25.2	the Washington Commanders QB1, Jaden Daniels, spoke to reporters for the first time since
0:30.3	head coach Dan Quinn during his day after the game press conference on Monday afternoon
0:35.0	announced that the team is shutting down Daniels for the rest of
0:37.7	the season. This was perhaps Daniels final session with reporters of the season. We'll see, but we know
0:43.0	that he's not exactly a big fan of these sessions with reporters. And with him being shut down,
0:48.6	yeah, this may have been the final time that we hear from Daniels until after the season. But he came off well, and if you watch video of the session, he, for a good portion of the session, had a smile on his face.
1:01.3	He seemed to be in good spirits.
1:02.7	It was good to see that.
1:03.5	We should all be in good spirits.

1:28.1	on Tuesday afternoon. Quinn multiple times made it a point to say that Daniels isn't medically
1:34.4	cleared but wants to play. I have some thoughts on why Quinn did that. And then the following
1:39.5	segment, more on the commanders, including a breakdown of their initial injury report for their
1:43.6	game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Northwest Stadium this Saturday evening at 5.
1:48.2	Reaction to the commander's placing receiver Noah Brown on the reserve slash injured list for the third time over his two seasons with the team and conversation on Dan Quinn head coach teams not quitting on him.
2:02.5	And also on the show, I'll talk Washington Capitals.
2:04.8	They on Tuesday night got ripped at the Minnesota Wild 5-0.
2:08.9	Before we get to some feedback, we have the first major league free agent acquisition by the Washington Nationals with Paul Toboni as president of baseball operations.
