A few years ago, I had a conversation with someone who knew a lot more about the inner workings of the team now called the Washington Commanders than I did.
I was wallowing in the mediocrity of the Jay Gruden years. As fans are sometimes wont to do, I mentioned how stupid my team had been for letting the popular special teams star Lorenzo Alexander depart via free agency a few years earlier. He eventually ended up with the Buffalo Bills, where he became a Pro Bowl linebacker.
My friend very politely explained that I didn’t know what I was talking about.
