and get the older helmets with the feather in the middle of the helmet. I bought an NFL book for my 10 year old grandson this Christmas ( SI Story of Pro Football in 100 photos) and he is going to love this book. The photo on the cover has the skins with Sam Huff lining up in front of Johnny U and the Colts.

Those helmets are the bomb.

Hail to the Warriors, Fight for all D C

You are not up to date on the latest news. Apparently the people who will be running out nation in January don't know what the fuck they are talking about and the provision for the RFK site was dropped from the new spending bill.


ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders' return to the District of Columbia went from a strong possibility early this week to being in a perilous spot Thursday after a key provision in a spending bill before Congress was excluded.

A new spending bill to fund the government does not include the transfer of an approximate 170-acre parcel of federal land from the government to the district. The provision had initially been included in the bill, fueling optimism by team and district officials about a chance to return to the site of the team's former home at RFK Stadium.

On Thursday afternoon, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser wanted to make one thing clear, correcting a tweet from President-elect Donald Trump's adviser Elon Musk: No money had been allocated for building a new stadium in the continuing resolution bill before Congress.

Musk, who has criticized the overall spending bill, had reposted on X the false information that the bill included $3 billion for a new football stadium, saying: "This should not be funded by your tax dollars."

But the only aspect in the bill related to a potential stadium was a resolution that would transfer control of the land at the RFK site from the federal government to the District of Columbia.

"It was stated that the CR contains $3 billion for a stadium," Bowser told reporters during a news conference in the district Thursday, discussing $800 million in arena renovations for the Wizards and Capitals. "All wrong. There are no federal dollars related to the transfer of RFK, and in fact the legislation does not require or link at all to a stadium. We're talking about how the district can invest in removing blight."

RFK Stadium site provision removed from fed bill

A provision to transfer the federal land that is the site of the old RFK Stadium from the government to the District of Columbia was excluded in Congress' short-term spending bill that lawmakers are racing to pass before a government shutdown.

Excellent. I could not read your link but I found the good news. Trump and Elon must have been corrected about funding for a stadium being in the bill.

Yeah, not sure why Elon thought the tax payers were going to pay for it.

I sure do miss the tv shots of the Capitol from the stadium. It needs to be in DC, most everyone wants it there.

It has to be DC. I still remember taking the Metro with my dad to RFK. So much easier.

it should have always been a separate bill and not a CR . . many people listen to the gaslighting of the media and think the CR failed because of the stadium . it didnt , it failed because of all the bad legislation in it i.e. raises for congress and such

Update: Congress passes RFK land transfer bill by unanimous consent

No that was a misconception, the original bill never had anything about funding a stadium. Musk was wroing but this musunderstanding caused the original bill to fail. I provided a link and there are many more out there that shows this.

No that was a misconception, the original bill never had anything about funding a stadium. But this musunderstanding caused the original bill to fail. I believe I provided links but if not they are easy to find.

That wasn’t the reason the original bill failed. The original was 1550 pages long with raises for congress, protection from the horse shit they’ve used against trump, and a whole lot more pork in it.
