“Ladies and Gentleman, the man is in the building– JayD_5 along with his mom,” said the announcer as the camera panned to Daniels and his mother sitting in the audience.

Congratulations to all Commanders fans, 11 wins season, qualifying for the playoffs and as my producer Rich Woof just told me in my ears, he doesn’t like that JayD_5 is that close to the action. He wants him bubble-wrapped in a suit because the Commanders have some meaningful football to be playing.

The announcer added

Based on the warm welcome the rookie quarterback received at the Knicks game, it’s clear that his impressive performance and the Commanders’ success have captured everyone’s attention, leaving fans eager to see where he will lead the team in the playoffs.
