And away we go, episode 1,224 of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025, and remarkably,

there reportedly will be no suspensions from the NFL regarding the brawl between the Washington

commanders and Philadelphia Eagles this past Saturday evening. I'm surprised by that, but we on Monday afternoon had multiple

reports saying this. I mean, the NFL on November 10th announced having suspended Commander's

Interior defensive lineman Durant Payne one game without pay for what, right? Throwing a punch at

Detroit Lions receiver Ammanra St. Brown. This and the Commander's 44-22 loss to the lines at Northwest Stadium on

November 9th. This brawl from the Commander's 29-18 loss to the Eagles at Northwest

Stadium this past Saturday evening to me was much worse than what happened with pain and yet

New episode each weekday, Monday through Friday, with each episode out by 5 a.m. Eastern and often much earlier. The commanders have a new quarterback, at least for this season.

The team on Monday afternoon announced having signed Driscoll off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad

to the active roster, and he is an option to be the commander's starting quarterback

for their game against the Dallas Cowboys at Northwest Stadium this Thursday afternoon,

Christmas afternoon at 1. Next segment, analysis of the commander signing Jeff Driscoll,

including whether he might start over Josh Johnson if Marcus Marietta is too injured to play against

the Cowboys. And what this signing of Jeff Driscoll says about how the commanders feel,

about practice squad quarterback Sam Hartman. I'll also give you a breakdown of the commander's

initial injury report for this game against the Cowboys, including two players who the

commander's late Monday afternoon announced as having been put on the reserve slash injured list

and the following segment conversation about another player now on the reserve slash injured list and the following segment conversation about another player

now on the reserve slash injured list. Right guard Samuel Cosmi, his season is done. The commanders

on Monday afternoon announced having placed Cosmy on the reserve slash injured list due to a concussion.
