Defeating the Curse (DTC)

The Washington Football team has ripped off 4 straight. The defense is playing phenomenal behind the leadership of rookie, defensive player of the year, Chase Young. The offense is actually top 10 over the last 6 games but questions linger with Alex Smith's status being up in the air. Lamar Jackson had to take a deuce during the game, we've all been there, time to admit it.    Photo Credit: NBCSpo...

The Washington Football Team has beaten the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in a massive upset on Monday afternoon. Join LP and FP to discuss what this means for the rest of the season. Are the playoffs a real possibility once again? This is the biggest Washington football win since...? Let us know @DefeatTheCurse on Twitter! Photo Cred: YardBarker

Washington Football team chalks up another W on Thanksgiving day. What does this mean for the rest of the season? Do they have an actual chance to win the NFC East? The Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys are also a mess but are they worse off than the WFT? Click, like, share @defeatthecurse on twitter.

The bye week is here and so is the election. Listen in as we welcome back Joe and 20. The WFT beat Dallas for the first time in it seems like 10 years! But does it really matter? The division is so bad, could the winner of the division be a 6 or 7 win team? It sure sounds like it.  The pod then shifts to what's probably on everyone's mind the 2020 election is just days away. Do your part and go vo...

EXPLICIT - Beacause sometimes it needs to be done. Riverboat Ron deserves some criticism on the horrible call to go for 2 at the end of the game. The WFT was marching up and down the field and the NYG were not, there was no reason to go for 2. Join LP and FP on this pod to discuss the call and let us know what you think at @DefeatTheCurse 

How bad is this football team? Did they just play a better 4 teams or are they really that bad? Join LP and FP to discuss this very topic. There is no sugar coating it, the WFT is BAD. Offense, Defense and Special Teams. FP and LP break down their versions of the blame pie. How would you split the blame pie? What about the coaching staff? All options on the table because this team is B A D bad bad...

HUGE HUGE HUGE news! Dwayne Haskins benched. After only 4 games Haskins has been benched? Is it fair? Is it justified? LP and FP discuss all things the Washington Football Team quarterback. Let us know what you think, did Coach Rivera make the right move? Let us know @defeatthecurse on twitter!

There's been no question that Dwayne Haskins hasn't looked all-pro through three games but should he be benched? Or do we need to practice a little more patience with the young quarterback. LP and FP discuss.

Tune in for the latest FP and LP show on the DTC podcast. All sports are still on pause and FP and LP are still going strong. Tune in to hear FP and LP's thoughts on free agency thus far and what they are looking forward to. 

CoronaVirus continues to crush the souls of sports fans around the world and with no end in sight, the boys at DTC are thankful to be healthy, bitter at the lack of live sports content, and hopeful a cure/vaccine will be found soon. NFL free agency is well underway and the Redskins made an interesting moving nabbing one Carolina QB and trading away a starting DB to a bitter rival in the Pacific no...

Join LP and FP to discuss all things sports or lack thereof. The NFL has decided free agency will continue with Tom Brady reportedly agreeing to go to Tampa Bay. The Skins reunite Rivera with Thomas Davis, and strike out on Amari Cooper.  Photo Credit: Clutchpoints.com

Stevie and Joe were literally caught speechless when the #NBA announced the season had been suspended, so they took 10 mins, gathered their thoughts and then turned on the mics! The NBA season may resume with playoffs only based on current seeding, or may have play-in games, who knows, right now however, there will be no more games. European soccer is already halting games as well, travel to Europ...

For many of us the passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter still seems surreal. She was going to be better than her dad in his own words and sadly the world will never get to see that happen... and as for Kobe... we grew up with Kobe and even though we never met him he felt like family. We saw him enter the league as a teenager, dominate as a man, and retire as an icon. What we didn't know was jus...

Stevie, Razzle, and Joe pay respects to the Mamba then switch gears to break down yet another Super Bowl matchup that happens to feature an ex-Redskins coach and several ex-Redskins players too. Stevie likes the Chiefs because of their offensive firepower, Razzle is on the 49ers because of their defensive abilities, and Joe is playing both sides and only cares about the point spreads and prop bets...

The Redskins finished a dismal 3-13 but there is a lot to be excited for as all 'skins fans look forward to 2020. The number two overall pick, a new head coach, and the end of the Bruce Allen era too! LP, FP, and Joe take a look back at the terrible season that was and try to find a few things to look forward as the "Carolina" Redskins are now a thing. The good, the bad, the ugly, we cover it all....

The #Nationals are headed to the World Series. Those are some of the sweetest words in the english language and they are 100% true! Our DC Nats have beat the #Dodgers and now the #Cardinals and await either the #Yanks or the #Astros for a #WorldSeries showdown! Stevie and Joe have lots to discuss and get into EVERYTHING on this episode of DTC. Congrats Nats! Congrats DC! #4more #stayinthefight

The Nationals did it! Hail the Nationals! Won-Soto came up big AGAIN! Mad-max started off a bit rough but eventually settled down and Strasburg put on his big-boy pants and took care of things when the team needed him the most... and through it all... DC fans came out early and stayed late for the incredible celebratory beer-baths that started in the eighth inning and continued until the final pit...

Fantasy Football is back and that means drafts are happening and ending and the season is just around the corner. Take a deep breathe and settle in as Razzie and Joe go around a legacy league that has been active and entering its 15th season! There were some reaches, some surprises, and ten fantasy owners that think they executed the perfect draft! Zek will play but will Melvin? Baker will rise, b...

Get your popcorn and settle in as Stevie and Joe breakdown a tough series loss to the Mets for a Nationals team that needed at least two of three to feel better before coming home and ending their nine-game road trip. All three games followed a similar script: Nats take early lead, Nats give up late runs, and in the first two games, Nats blow the save... and boy was it ugly. Stevie is still optimi...

FP and LP are here to break down the Redskins preseason game 1. The line is missing a LT, can Donald Penn and Geron Christian be stop gap solutions? The boys discuss. Case Keenum didn't look sharp but did have a TD pass to Robert Davis. Haskins shows that the talent is there but it's still raw and he needs time to develop. What are you looking forward to in week 2? 

As #Redskins training camp ends and the season begins some here at DTC are excited while others are worried. The boys get sidetracked into some inside the beltway talk but it all comes full circle to the Redskins in the end! No Trent is a big problem however young coachable talent at offensive skill positions is still exciting. Stevie, Pete, Razzle, and Joe talk about the weeks that were in Richmo...

The #Nationals made some trades, brought in some new faces, but have dropped three straight series over the past two weeks that have Stevie and Joe asking questions. Most notably the Nationals are off to a rough start dropping two in the dessert one of which saw Strasburg get hit over and over and over again. The Nationals are now in a virtual tie with the #Phillies for the final wildcard spot wit...

Stevie and Joe discuss all things #Nationals as the curly "W" goes in the books! Strasburg goes for 3 hits, 5 RBIs, and one big homer but that is just the proverbial tip with this team and its recent surging in the standings! The #Nats have found the bats, they have found some pitching, and they have found themselves. All they did was get healthy and the rest is history... we hope! Stevie and Joe...
