What up everybody, some big news in the Washington football team community without Smith officially announcing his retirement.

I mean, the boys are going to react to that. There's kind of a lot to take in with that and I think in a weird way, it's kind of good news for the Washington football team.

Plus, it's just a really tremendous interview with our friend Dan Helle, NFL Network, everybody in DC knows Helle. He's great at what he does and he's plugged in around the league.

Lots of quarterback discussion, both Alex and possible future quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL draft. This one's going to be fun.

Obviously, I thought that he was going to at least explore his other options and see listening to him tell the story about how he's on the side of the mountain getting ready to go snowboarding and, you know, he looked up and, you know, thought about the time they've spending with his kids and how much he enjoyed it.
