A Washington Football Team community since 2002, blogging about the WFT and their fans.
We continue with the not-really-all-that-official-countdown to the 2023 Washington Commanders regular season. There are exactly 96 days left until the Commanders kickoff against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10th.
