SEPT 7 HATE Kevin Durant has a pointed take on why he hates the Dallas Cowboys .
“Cowboys, no question,” he declared on Kay Adams’ “Up and Adams Show.” “I just don’t like them.”
Yes, yes. We know that. And the NBA star’s support of his home-area team is appreciated. Commanders fans have long viewed the Cowboys as their arch-nemesis. No problem there.
But for KD, it goes deeper.
“It’s probably 75 percent of people in Washington, DC, that are Cowboys fans,” said Durant.”I just hate that they don’t stay loyal to the crib.”
SEPT 2 SNEAKY GOOD The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of a year ago? A futile 3.3 yards per carry. The change this year – a change Washington must brace for in Week 1? A suddenly sneaky-good running game.
The preseason improvement took the Bucs to 4.4 yards per … though, of course, it was just the preseason. Still, there has been an investment in change.
In addition to hiring new offensive coordinator Liam Coen, ESPN writes, “They invested a first-round draft pick in new starting center Graham Barton, a fourth-rounder in running back Bucky Irving and a sixth-rounder in guard Elijah Klein. They also signed left guard Ben Bredeson in free agency and have a better understanding of the blocking scheme and how to attack the holes.”
