A few more of the early reactions this morning from some of those reporting Washington Football news.
Early this morning this was so classic Rick “Doc” Walker.

In true Andy Pollin fashion, he references a truly memorable moment in television sitcom history.
If it’s anything other than Commanders, I’ll be as surprised as I was when Bob Newhart ended his last sitcom by waking up next to Suzanne Pleshette

Eric Bickel confronted head-on the statement that the name “Commanders” had much fan support.
The name is what it is. Whatever. Uniforms are what they are. They'll change over time. Whatever. But stop lying. Stop saying the FANS had any input. The fans had ZERO say. There was no clamoring for this name. This was decided BEFORE they even revealed they were changing. https://t.co/r5IVJqG0xO

The Team 980’s Kevin Sheehan was concerned about the number of fans at the opening of the store.
Oh God, 25 people maybe? If this was supposed to be a photo/video op, they should’ve pre-sold with a giveaway offer to get more people to come. The ribbon itself is longer than the line of people. https://t.co/6IaCZr1fqn

Pete Hailey reminds everyone that change is difficult, but we do learn to adapt.
Would just like to remind everyone that for the past two years we've been referring to Washington's football team as the FOOTBALL TEAM. And we got used to it! By Week 1 Commanders will be normal. I get that today is overwhelming and maybe some hated it, but it'll grow on everyone

And it wouldn’t be a Washington media reaction post without a take from “Funny” Danny Rouhier. We aren’t the only ones perturbed by the year being wrong on the logo.
I've been bitching about it all day. Drives me nuts
