Washington's NFL franchise will continue to be called the Commanders. Majority owner Josh Harris said the team will not be changing a nickname picked when Dan Snyder was still the owner. Harris said "Commanders" is "being embraced by our team, by our culture, by our coaching staff, so we're going with that."
The Commanders are hiring a veteran coach to their staff. Washington is hiring Brian Schneider as its assistant special teams coordinator. Schneider was the 49ers' special teams coordinator from 2022-to-2024. He was on the same coaching staff as Commanders head coach Dan Quinn when the Seahawks won Super Bowl 48.
On the ice, Washington Capitals beat the Florida Panthers 6-3 at Capital One Arena. Alex Ovechkin needs just 17 more goals to pass Wayne Gretzky for the most goals in NHL history. Ovechkin has 879 career goals so far.
