Think about this today.
If it weren't for the Washington Post sports department,
Dan Snyder would probably still be the owner of the Washington Redskins/Commanders.
Let that sink in.
Local sports journalism is impactful and it matters.
Timmy Smith
Super Bowl XXII
Making his first career NFL start, the Redskins rookie rushes for a Super Bowl record 204 yards — the only player to rush for over 200 yards in a Super Bowl.
He also scores his first two career touchdowns.

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.
Four things that were crucial to my sports education as a child of the D.C. area in the late 1980s & early 1990s:
Sports Radio 570 WTEM
Home Team Sports
The sportscasts of Glenn Brenner & George Michael
The Washington Post
A salute to all of those past & present in @PostSports.

Darryl Grant's tip-drill, high-steppin' pick-six off Dallas's Gary Hogeboom puts the Redskins' lead out of reach in the 1982 NFC Championship at RFK.
#HTTR's second NFC title. #RaiseHail
