And away we go, episode 626 of the Algoldi podcast, it is Friday, August 4, 2023, and my friends,

we now are a week away from the commanders, 2023 preseason opener, commanders at the Cleveland Browns, Friday night, August 11th, at 730.

The Browns on Thursday night played their preseason opener as we had the annual Hall of Fame game this year's matchup, Browns vs. The New York Jets at Tom Benson, Hall of Fame Stadium in Kent, Ohio. Did you enjoy the quarterback matchup?

That was on display, the Browns at Kellen Monde vs. The Jets at Zack Wilson. Hey, whatever happened with the girlfriend drama of Zack Wilson involving commanders receiver Dax Milner.

Do you remember that from last summer? This became quite the thing, as you may recall. I read to you from the New York Post, July 11, 2022, quote,

Zack Wilson's ex-girlfriend appears to be dating his college roommate Washington commanders wide receiver, Dax Milner, after she seemingly accused the Jets quarterback of cheating on her with his mom's best friend.

And quote, so Zack Wilson was dating this girl, then Zack Wilson cheated on the girl by hooking up with his mom's best friend.

And then the girl hooked up with Dax Milner. Hey, I don't know about you. I am on team Dax Milner in that one.

He may not have done a great job as our team's primary putt returner last season, but old Dax appears to have game in other ways.
