The Washington Commanders are coming home. The team teased a return to Washington, D.C. on Monday in a video narrated by Joe Theismann, who said it was “time to revive that legacy.”

The video teased a return to the RFK Stadium site. The Commanders played home games at RFK Stadium from 1961 to 1996 before moving to Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD.

The Commanders have eyed a return to the RFK site for some time. The stadium has not been in use since 2017. In December, D.C. gained greater control of the land, and that led to increased negotiations with the Commanders about a return.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is expected to officially announce the Commanders’ return to that site Monday, per the Washington Post. Bowser shared the same video Monday morning, essentially confirming the news.

With RFK Stadium out of use the past few years, it’s become a derelict site. Bowser’s announcement is expected to announce a new stadium at the RFK site, with hopes it will be completed by 2030, per the Post.

This story will be updated.

LAS VEGAS — If you’re a Minnesota Wild fan, the most reassuring thing that was discernible to the eyes, and certainly the ears, on Monday was the mood of the players.After losing the chance to take a 3-1 lead in a playoff series for the first time in franchise history with Saturday’s overtime loss to Vegas, the mood was great on Monday, the spirits were jovial and the energy was high during an hour-long practice.AdvertisementThis best-of-seven against the Golden Knights is now a best-of-three, with the Wild needing to win at least one game in Las Vegas, and the Wild remain confident, despite the wasted opportunity at home, that they can still win this series heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena.“We know what we’re capable of, the type of players we have in this room and […]

Dudu só aceita rescindir com o Cruzeiro com pagamento de multa integral

Atacante só deixará Raposa com pagamento de multa (Foto: Gustavo Aleixo/Cruzeiro) Dudu pode estar cada vez mais perto da saída do Cruzeiro. O atacante, que se envolveu em polêmica no final da última semana com o técnico Leonardo Jardim, foi afastado da partida contra o Vasco, no final de semana, pelo Brasileirão. Mas o fim de sua trajetória no clube poderá demorar para ser encerrada. Multa para sair O principal motivo é a multa rescisória do jogador com a Raposa.

Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain: What important things haven’t changed since last Champions League meeting

Getty Images As anyone from the visiting side will not shy away from telling you, a lot has changed since Arsenal last welcomed Paris Saint-Germain to the Emirates Stadium. Seven months is a long time, Luis Enrique insisted, and since their grueling league phase campaign the French champions have had to "pull their socks up." To Vitinha, it is "obviously" different. And, of course, they are right. The PSG that rocked up to the Emirates Stadium on Oct. 1 looked elegant enough when the ball was at their feet but utterly incapable of laying a glove on William Saliba, et al. Their front three combined for one shot, their best chance of the match falling to Achraf Hakimi 10 seconds before the end of 90 minutes. With Ousmane Dembele sidelined and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia yet to join from Napoli, there were few […]
