The Washington Commanders are slated to host the Denver Broncos on November 30th in primetime, and that game isn’t getting flexed out for another game according to the Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala. The Commanders have lost their last six games, while the Broncos have won their last eight games. Both teams are on their byes this week, and will show a national audience where they are for the last stretch of the season.</p><figure><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Commanders’ Week 13 game against the Broncos won’t be flexed out of primetime on SNF, per source.</p>— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickiJhabvala/status/1990448485972467992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure><p class="has-text-align-none">The Commanders are 3-8 and their season has been filled with injuries, but they could be getting some players back after the bye week.

After Rasul Douglas went down with injury, Brents stepped into Miami’s starting lineup and used his 6’2” frame to bully opposing wide receivers. </p><p class="has-text-align-none"></p><p class="has-text-align-none">Douglas is expected to return to action in week thirteen following the Dolphins’ bye week, yet Brents’ absence will still be felt by the club. Miami’s defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver, had high praise for the young player following his first start for the Dolphins.</p><p class="has-text-align-none"></p><p class="has-text-align-none">“<em>He is a guy that regardless of whether he’s active, inactive; his approach to work has been the same. He’s been consistent. He’s just tried to go out there and be the best version of himself every week. It’s a credit to his resilience and resolve and it was awesome to see him see all that hard work pay off a week ago so thrilled about the kid.</em>”</p><p class="has-text-align-none"></p><p class="has-text-align-none">The Dolphins still have one year of control to see if Brents fits in the team’s future plans. His play in 2026 will determine if he sticks in Miami or if he’ll being suiting up elsewhere after the conclusion of his rookie contract. </p><p class="has-text-align-none"></p>)

One of our cats is not well. I ended up taking him to the pet hospital in the early hours this morning. The cat is going to be staying there for, likely, three days. I should have been a vet instead of a blogger, they have really nice offices. </p><p class="has-text-align-none">The Blue Jays outrighted Nick Sandlin. He cleared waivers and has elected to take free agency.</p><p class="has-text-align-none">Nick pitched in 19 games, 16.1 innings, 11 hits, 7 runs, 4 earned, 2 homers, 8 walks and 16 strikeouts. The 2.20 ERA is misleading, with the 3 unearned runs, but he held batters to a .186/.304/.322 line. He averaged 91.4 mph on the four-seamer</p><p class="has-text-align-none">He missed most of the season with an elbow injury. It’s too bad we didn’t get to see more of him. If we had, maybe they wouldn’t have let him go. </p><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"><p class="has-text-align-none">The first thing I saw this morning was someone saying the Jays were going to sign Kyle Tucker. I hate seeing things like that, because, as a general rule, once someone says we are going to sign someone, it doesn’t happen. </p><p class="has-text-align-none">I hate guessing who the Jays are most likely to sign. I think as soon as I put something like that out into the universe, the universe says, ‘Haven’t you learnt anything yet?‘</p><p class="has-text-align-none">Who would you rather have, if the money were comparable, Bo or Tucker?</p><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"><p class="has-text-align-none">The Mariners signed Josh Naylor to a five-year contract in the $90-100 million range. Smart of the M’s to lock him up. Naylor hit .299/.341 /.490 with 9 home runs in 54 games with the Mariners. On the season he had 20 home runs with a 128 OPS+, which is right in his usual range. </p><p class="has-text-align-none">You gotta like a Canadian kid having success.</p><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"><p class="has-text-align-none">Have a good Monday</p>)
