Defeating the Curse (DTC)

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, the 'skins went to Tampa and WON a playoff game for the first time in nearly 20 years! It was Mark B last time its Jayden D this time! Although the Commanders struggled they had the ball last and thats all that mattered. #Detroit fans are annoying and the #Lions are beatable... right? The boys are fired up and ready for the best weekend of football until next years opening we...

The #Commanders beat the #Giants twice, split with the #Eagles, and now split with #Cowboys too... plus 12 wins, what's not to love?... it's playoff time in #DC! Keys to beating the #Bucs according to Stevie, run the ball, according to FP lock up Mike Evans, and Joe says score early and often to pressure Baker down the stretch. The boys also discuss the Broncos/Bills matchup in detail and make the...

Happy New Years from the entire rotating cast of Defeating the Curse. We love broadcasting and radio at large and we love that you love what we do week in and week out. The #Commanders are headed to the #NFL postseason and while the #NFC is still up for grabs DC as a city is PUMPED UP! The #Giants continue to confuse fans and the #Bengals are the #Rams of the AFC... NOBODY wants to face them. Ovi...

It's a holiday week but that doesn't mean we skip a show! The #Commanders pulled off a stunning victory on Sunday over the #Eagles and got flexed into Sunday Night Football vs the #Falcons. The Christmas Day sports rotation was out of control between the NFL and NBA and while the NFL games were largely boring the NBA had an awesome day with an average margin of just 5 pts between winners and loser...

The boys are over the win on Sunday against the #Saints and have already switched gears to the #Eagles. The Lions lost their grip on the one-seed with #Vikings and Eagles firmly in the mix. The NFL MVP race is looking like its either a QB, a QB, or an RB at this point... but defensively, has anyone had a better season than TJ Watt? The boys share come of their favorite Christmas traditions and cat...

Coming off the bye week for the Commanders the boys are in studio discussing the week that was in the NFL and the week ahead. Lots of MLB and Caps talk to start the show but the pivot to the NFL is quick.... The Eagles barely beat the Panthers but stay alive in the chase for the Lions and the top NFC seed, the Rams pulled a big upset, and the Chiefs... the Chiefs keep luck-winning. Seems like fans...

The boys are in the studio discussing the NFL at large after the Commanders dominating win over the Titans. One person who said they would "NEVER" return to Fedex Field made his first trip to NW Stadium and we think several of the guys logged close to zero minutes of football this weekend... which is shocking considering it was on TV four of the last five days! Would you rather face the Eagles or...

FP and Joe are down hard after a tough loss to the Cowboys sinking the Commanders to 7-5. Is anyone still excited about this offense? Stevie is taking a victory lap as he repeatedly told the boys “I TOLD YOU SO” in the offline chat… and looking around the league the season may literally be hanging in the balance with a frisky #Titans team headed to town. This was a tough loss... hurts so bad! Ever...

FP and Joe are in the studio discussing the 'skins dropping two games in four days to the state of Pennsylvania and officially kick off Dallas Week here in DC as well. At this point its pretty clear which teams are for real and which aren't across the NFL plus was the big fight between Paul and Tyson rigged? Ove is red-hot but injured and what show are you watching right now!? Join us! #DTC 

Well, the Commanders dropped a winnable game at home to Russ and the Steelers. The refs played a big part in the game which has some of the cast upset and on a short week there are no excuses as the Eagles are up next on Thursday night. Will the Jets win two more games this season? Will the Lions lose to more games this season? How about the Ravens, Cowboys, Chiefs and/or the Bears? + Capitals rem...

What was the bigger event in DC this week... the election or the addition of a legit stud cornerback to the Commanders roster? The boys discuss the NFL at large and who should be the executive of the year? coach of the year? MVP? ... the time change is terrible but fall sports are not! Join us!

The boys are in the studio still on a high from the Commanders dramatic win on Sunday over the Bears. DC loves #Jayden !! The reaction videos are must-watch... from both fan bases. The Yanks have come alive and threaten to prolong the season meanwhile the Wiz and the Caps are both giving fans something to cheer for... Jets keep losing, and NFL trades keep happening too! Join the conversation #DTC

It was ugly and it was dramatic... Commanders win a thriller against the Bears to improve to 6-2 on the season. This is the immediate PostGame Reaction Show happening now!  

The Burgundy&Gold retired #28 after scoring 27 in the first half against the Panthers. FP is encouraged while Joe isn't about JD5 and his injury designation moving forward. The NFC East is wide open... should Washington be looking to add players before trade deadline? Injuries around the league are going to turn the season into a complete guessing-game down the stretch and the NBA returns! + #...

The #Commanders didn't get out of Baltimore with a win but we learned a lot about this team. Injuries always hurt, #Eagles and #Giants stink, #Cowboys already quit; NFC is winnable; NFL on the whole is wild! Very very streaky... plus the #MLB Playoffs continuing with surprises and the #Capitals C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS are back on the ice!

Commanders keep it rolling making it 4 straight wins with the Ravens up next. The boys are in studio still euphoric about it all and are ready to make some bold predictions. The NFC is wide open, the AFC picture is unclear as well, Jets fire their coach, and a quick look at power rankings as well!

Oh boy, the local football team is on a heater! The #Commanders win their 3rd in a row in convincing fashion and even the most stubborn must admit #JD5 is impressive. The Eagles lost to the Bucs, the Vikings keep rolling, the Bengals finally get a win. Plus, the MLB playoffs are here... it's officially the start of the BEST time of the sports year!

The boys are chopping it up after a huge primetime win for the Commanders on Monday night. Would you take Jayden or the field of QBs drafted this year to end with the best career? Changes in the Top5 and Low5 looking around the league and the P.Diddy news cycle will not stop and has the potential to take down factions of the Hollywood elite. 

The boys are in the studio talking about the week 2 around the NFL, the injuries, the surprises, and resetting some expectations. Plus, did we learn anything last week during the debate and FP comes out as a baseball fan.   

FP and Joe power through technical difficulties (sorry about the audio) to deliver a week one victory on the podcast. Commanders lost and while Joe is in a full blown panic, FP is exercising caution while acknowledging a week two loss would bring wrath from even the most positive Commanders fans. The 49ers, Lions, Texans, Chiefs, and Cowboys looked great to start the season, the Patriots and Bears...

Oh boy... FP, Stevie, and Joe decided to fire up the mics and hit record and boy oh boy is everyone in for a treat. The boys recap their summer, hit it hard on the Nationals, and then switch gears to pick winners/losers for each Commanders game as we are just ONE WEEK away from the start of the NFL season! Join us! #HTTR

*Pardon the Dust* (and rust) but FP and Joe are back in the studio after a long, long, long break... new music is on the way, summer recaps, and a lot of Commanders talk. Plus, why nobody cares about fantasy football anymore, what are you snaking on when watching TV, and what's coming up next on this season of the podcast. Summer is over. Welcome back. Welcome football!

Oh man... there is nothing like the offseason in Washington DC. Why does anyone cheer for the Commanders? Our former HC is now a talking head on ESPN and just in case you had interest in maybe the Capitals or Wizards both are not doing so well these days... Caps making trades while the Wiz lost 16 straight before an "upset" win vs the Hornets. Plus, why would you ever get in the ring with Mike Tys...

How did the 49ers lose the big one? Chiefs started slow but ended perfectly and any discussion about best coach or QB of all time must include the current duo in KC. Looking forward the Commanders keep hiring coaches and the Marty's are still employed while in Florida... pitchers and catchers have officially reported!    

The boys are locked and loaded ready to discuss all the events surrounding the Commanders from the past week. New head coach, new OC, new DC and they seem "locked in" to do some hard work together. Razzle and Stevie have some interesting prop bets and FP is already mixing the super bowl kool-aid for next season!
