Joe Theismann, after showing to know an excessive amount of, now says he is aware of nothing.
The previous star quarterback for Washington — and present Ring of Honor member of the NFL franchise — sounded awfully assured in a radio interview Monday that the brand new identify of the workforce could be the Washington Commanders.

Final week, Twitter person @LarryLegendBTW found that area of “Commanders.com” had been transferred to MarkMonitor, an organization that protects company manufacturers from hackers.

In an interview with CBS Sports activities Radio, Theismann made it sound as if the identify change was finalized.
“I believe the Commanders is a reputation that's going to be one which hopefully folks like going ahead,” Theismann advised Damon Amendolara. “There have been so many alternative choices, however as soon as once more it’s trademark infringement — it’s getting approval from completely different folks. For those who select a reputation, is there a bunch on the market that isn’t going to love it?
“… Loads of commanders in Washington D.C. and the Pentagon, and a whole lot of completely different branches of the service. So to me, that’s the way in which I’m it, as positions of management in terms of the brand new identify.”
Because the web picked up upon Theismann’s feedback, he reached out to the Washington Occasions.
“Not fully positive what the brand new identify [is],” wrote the previous quarterback, who has labored with WFT as an analyst. “Nobody has advised me. Such as you I’ll discover out on Wednesday.”
