Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said he was “tired” of the outside noise and negative stories surrounding his team earlier this week from the NFL’s owner’s meetings.
Since that time, Washington has been in the news on back-to-back days — and not for football reasons. On Wednesday, former Washington quarterback Alex Smith went on the “Rich Eisen Show” and was asked about any advice he could give Carson Wentz and the conversation turned to Washington’s off-field drama.
On Thursday, more bad news for the Commanders as the Washington Post revealed that congressional committee overseeing the sexual harassment in Washington’s workplace, is also now looking into alleged financial improprieties, per Liz Clarke, Paul Kane and Mark Maske.
