Dan Snyder 'F****n Hates' Commanders' Success
Amid the Commanders' recent string of success, one person who is not too thrilled about Washington's success is their former owner, Dan Snyder. Ahead of their NFC Championship bout in Philadelphia, one source revealed that Snyder, "f****n hates," seeing the Commander's rise to the top.
Commanders fans are not used to their team having this type of success. They have only won three playoff games since 2000. Many fans feel that Washington's latest string of success has a lot to do with the team's new ownership. Former owner Dan Snyder sold the team in April 2023 to an ownership group spearheaded by New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers owner, Josh Harris for just a little over $6 billion.
Donald Trump Impressed By Jayden Daniels
The Commanders have undoubtedly been the biggest surprise of the NFL season. Usually one of the laughing stocks of the NFL, Washington made the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The Commanders were not expected to make much of an impact this season. However, that has all changed because of their rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw 25 touchdowns and just 9 interceptions during the regular season.
Daniels is not just catching the attention of NFL fans across the country, he has also piqued the interest of the United States President Donald Trump.
According to NFL insider Dov Kleiman, Trump is apparently a big Daniels fan, noting that the incoming POTUS is "well aware," of who Daniels is and believes he should be Rookie of the Year and possibly NFL MVP. The conversation apparently happened in a meeting between Trump and DC Mayor, Muriel Bowser.
"President-Elect Donald Trump is "well aware" of Jayden Daniels and why he should be Rookie of the Year and possibly the MVP," Kleiman writes.
"This conversation occurred in a meeting between President-Elect Donald Trump and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser."
