Joe Theismann was interviewed Damon Amendolara for CBS Sports and seems to have spoiled the Washington Football Team’s new name before the reveal on the Today Show. Below is the transcript and the audio. Judge for yourselves. Go Commanders?!?!
JT: I think the Commanders is a name that is going to be one that hopefully people like going forward.
DA: So you like the Commanders as the new team name huh?
JT: Ya, I mean there were so many different options, but once again it’s trademark infringement. It’s getting approval from different people. If you choose a name, is there a group out there that’s not going to like it.
