Lots of people have said it before me and better than me, but as I was working on putting together the Daily Slop the other day, I couldn’t help but sit in stupefied amazement at how things have changed for the NFL franchise in Washington.
The bad old days of 2020 — could it be just 5 years ago? — are still vivid in some ways, but also fading like a hard-to-remember bad dream in the morning light.
I remember, in mid-July of 2020, reading a bombshell story about sexual harassment and a toxic workplace in the Washington Post and co-writing a blog piece about it with Bryan Stabbe at a furious pace (I was writing story text in Bangkok as he simultaneously added quotes and links to the story from his home in the US) because it felt like it couldn’t — as most blogs articles can — wait until the next day to get published.
