Yep, with OTAs and mandatory minicamp now done, we are truly in the dog days of the offseason.

Outside of McLaurin getting a new contract, nothing much will be happening until training camp starts up in late July.

We just have to get through it.
 
Yep. If we get any news now it’ll be bad like major injury or surgery news.

Yeah, if you keep scrolling to the right on the top "forums", there's a "shop". Another coffee mug or t-shirt is the last thing I need, but hey...gotta hail properly
 
Speaking from experience, the stuff on the shop is pretty good.

I’ve got multiple mugs, pint glasses, and TShirts
 
The beer mugs and shot glasses are really great. Ditto the coffee mugs. The only thing I'm not crazy about are the t-shirts (just due to being extremely picky about the feel of a t-shirt) but maybe I haven't picked the right one yet.

What is the meaning of the, "Blind Pig" wording on some of the BGO items in the shop?

I’ll take a swing. The Blind Pig is used by the site as a name for our podcast. It references a bunch of fans sitting around a bar talking about their favorite team.

The probable inspiration is…

A speakeasy, also called a beer flat or blind pig or blind tiger, was an illicit establishment that sold alcoholic beverages. The term may also refer to a retro style bar that replicates aspects of historical speakeasies.

Dear God, please bring football back quickly. I can't bring myself to watch the 2025 cornhole quarterfinals on ESPN 2.

First McD5 sighting in 2.5 years deserves a ‘Welcome Back!!!!’. Stick around, we have missed you and it’s a new day :cheers:
 
Had an article on NFL.com today about the five teams they believe won the offseason.

One of them was Washington. Here is that excerpt:

****It’s hard to improve from good to great in the NFL, but the Commanders might join the league’s elites with an improved roster that features more blue-chip players around 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels. The trades for Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel place a pair of Pro Bowl-caliber players in marquee positions (left tackle and WR2) that should help the offense unlock another gear in 2025. If the team can resolve Terry McLaurin’s contract situation, the Commanders will have a chance to open the season with an electric offense that will put plenty of stress on defensive coordinators crafting plans to stop the juggernaut.

Defensively, the additions of Deatrich Wise and Jonathan Jones fortify a unit that is coming into its own under the direction of head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. If the Commanders continue to receive key contributions from their young defensive backs (Mike Sainristil, Quan Martin and Trey Amos), the reigning NFC runner-up could take the next step in 2025.

My expectation for 2025: The Commanders are built to run through the NFC with a superstar quarterback surrounded by a stellar supporting cast. If Washington can secure the NFC’s No. 1 seed, we could see a championship parade in the nation’s capital come February.****
