Jeffrey needs to be the voice of the Washington rebrand! All their videos needs to be narrated by Jeffrey
100%
I’m sure he will if they ever are good again
Lame
The America's game by him when they win a superbowl would be amazing!
@@dirkrousseau462 would have to be AI as Wright will be long dead
Jeffreys got such a great radio voice and a rich history with his team. Love him on the show!
Agreed
Jeffery is a true fan! I see him commenting on Commanders tweets all the time.
They should have him to do the commanders highlights, that voice and he's a fan. I can feel the excitement in his commentating.
Make him the color analyst, i could listen to that voice all day!
Dude this would be epic.
I got chills when he started talking about RFK. Didn't know Jeffrey was a Skins fan. It's a new day, let's fing go!
Met him like 6+ years ago on the set of Westworld. I was like 22 and new to the industry and knew he went to one of my rival high schools in VA. The second I name dropped the school I could see a light shine in his eye and for the rest of the day he made sure to stop and say what’s up whenever he spotted me. Seems like a genuinely kind man.
I'm still upset that Westworld got cancelled... Season 4 was actually really good. Lol.
bro Jeffrey Wright is a commanders fan! LETSS GOOOOOOOO
nah, he’s a REDSKINS fan! Like many of us, I’m sure he’d prefer it if you didn’t use the current, awful name when discussing his fandom! 😉
@jeffreyhord how you gonna tell me how to fan lol
@@jeffreyhordThe man literally said he bought season tickets again ..
@@lukepatten8308 He does.
Great interview, and a high-profile, authentic (Redskins) fan. Jeffrey said what every fan wants for our team. Love the level of passion in his voice.
OMG!! Jeffrey gave me chills speaking about the pride of what it was to be a redskins fan. As an almost 40 year fan, his memories relived feelings about how I felt for that team. More than a fall from grace, the previous owner provided the shovel that buried that once glorious team. If Jeffrey is that optimistic, I can see a glimmer of hope in him, then I’m right there with him!!! Fight on sons of Washington!!!
This warmed my heart. I remember being at rfk with my dad
I was also at that '83 game Jeffrey, 30 yard line upper deck visitors side , my fondest memory of my favorite stadium
That's a great voice right there.
Must sound soothing when he’s telling the child laborers at his African gold mine that they need to work overtime.
@@ArktinenJenkki Sounds like he's providing jobs, they can always not work in the mine and eat dirt all day.
1982 NFC Championship Game, Cowboys vs. Redskins! 2nd favorite Redskins game of ALL TIME!
What a thoroughly delightful interview. I'm older than Mr. Wright, with many of those same memories of my beloved Washington team, for whom I too bought season tickets in 2023, and have renewed for 2024.
Great Interview! Made me stand up and go look at my old ticket stub from that game in '83 and yup $20. The old RFK experience was unique, warm, and wonderful. It was also ahead of its time in many ways. You could take public transportation right to the stadium, which most people did and the fans were surprisingly socially, economically, and racially diverse. Nothing is perfect but that team and the stadium were a true unifying force in this city.
That's like $80 considering inflation.
A truly great actor even in bad films. I have to give him a shout out for his role in the Boardwalk Empire - but then again everyone brought their A game to that series.
American Fiction was one of my fav movies of 2023. Jeffrey's also great in Westworld, Game Night & The Batman.
Boardwalk Empire too. Great actor
BASQUIAT is my favorite (artist and Wright film)
This was such a dope interview! Jeffrey Wright is such a DC fan, I appreciate his commentary and anecdotes on our football team. He actually lived it, not just adopted the team from afar. That's cool!
This man has some pipes
That man was spitting fire in Asteroid City (this is the best interview of all time. So much awesome information from this man’s brain.)
I love my team I became a fan in 1972. The Washington Redskins .I remember pat fisher.the dancing bear Ron macdole.chris hamburger. Dexter Manley Roy Jefferson. Sonny jergenson. Charlie taylor.larry Brown.and many many more players I remember.
No . Pardee was fired after the 1980 season when Riggo sat out the season following the final 1979 regular season game 35 to 34 to the Hated Cowpokes!!!
I don't know why this made me so happy. I knew Jeffrey was a commanders fan fore years, but having him on the show and speaking with so much in-depth knowledge is so incredible. This man has so much historical knowledge of the franchise. He's definitely one of the best representatives of local fans who TRULY LOVE THE TEAM. Matthew McConaughey, Josh Brolin (Thanos), Kevin Durant, Jon Bernthal (The Punisher / Shane from TWD) and Dale Eanrheart Jr are all huge Skins fans too in case anyone didn't know. If we start winning again these games will look like Lakers courtside seats! HTTR!!
We're all hoping for a name change because the name is a) tied to Dan Snyder and b) stupid.
Washington Red Wolves, Red Tails, or my personal favorite, Washington Warriors, to honor the men and women who wear our country's uniform. Anything but Commanders.
@@timbergling674"Redskins." Embrace the slur/"slur"
@@PhilipJFry-qh2jg that is never, ever going to happen
Change the name to Notre Dame, they are called the fighting Irishman. Just saying.
@brandondicks7765 Youre right. "Inquisitors" "Crusaders," or "Templars" sound more fierce
Great interview. Jeffrey Wright brought back some great memories!! Wishful that we can get back to the winning tradition. HTTC!!
Underrated actor. Legendary voice...
Had no idea he was a fan and from the DMV
I love that he connected the need for the name change as a part of the effort to expunge the former clown's taint on the team. Commanders is an objectively bad team name for so many reasons. The rhythm of it is all wrong, it feels like I have rocks in my mouth everytime I say Washington Commanders. It's a weak name, like something a Division III directional school would settle for. It feels like the result of a committee where no one had any skin in the game. It lacks a valid shortening (I ask every fan to bring a sign saying 'Commies' somewhere on it to the stadium to drive this point home).
But far and away the main reason it has to go is that EVERY time I see that lazy stenciled W on a helmet or have to say 'Commanders' in conversation, I am forced to remember Dan. His stink is intrinsically connected to the current brand. It's awfulness, and propensity to irritate means that it constantly reminds me of what a weak name it is - and why do we have it again? Dan "Sexual Predator" Snyder.
My fandom survived 24 years with Dan, so I'm not going anywhere if Josh doesn't change the name. But Josh will never 100% this task if the name doesn't change. It will always be the undone task, lurking and staring you in the face.
Please, Josh. Change the name. Don't rush it. Pick a good name. Don't avoid a name because it would take a little longer for the lawyers to clear it. But do change it at your earliest convenience.
Amen to that bury all memory of the former owner
Yes both woke names are very weak. At least bring back the indian head logo. My god it was asked for by a chief of a tribe and was one of the best helmets and they go and do this college crap. Who cares about past ownership just stop being woke. Cleveland Guardians name is rough too, smdh.
Great story and great voice
I only got to go to one game at RFK, but it was a wonderful experience! We got great seats given to us, at about the 50 on the visitor's side four rows up. The bouncing during "Hail to the Redskins" after scores is something i'll never forget. That place was amazing.
Great interview, great actor.
Go Foreskins!
Now THATS a fan (great voice BTW) 🐷🏈.
Dope Content💯👍
Lol. Do you know how DC area it is for him to be a camp kid with the Harris Family in WVA? The DMV area is so unique if you were raised here.
I also went to camp minnehaha. Loved going to the mountains every year. Actually became a councilor there later on. Miss that place
As a Washington fan, I'm hoping for a name change as well. The Redskins ship has sailed but I can see them possibly bringing the redskins logo back but with a new name such as the Potomac's (River that runs through DC and also a Native American people). If they don't want to do that, there are plenty of other ones that I would be fine with, but we can't keep commanders
Yep, been saying for years Washington Warriors is perfect. Flows off the tongue, can redux a Native American logo but change it up, or put an arrow on the helmets again, anything.
Sounds like a basketball team 🙄
@@truckinpoppop6777yeah, the golden state warriors😂😅🤣
So a bad idea should be replaced with a worse idea?
Weird
The Washington Football Team sounded old school, should have kept it that way. Commanders sounds like a high school team.
I liked WFT too. Sounds like a Premier League team, Man City FC or Arsenal.
Yep ! Totally ridiculous for an NFL team ! You can't call yourself "Redskins" anymore ? Ok let's go for "Natives". At least it would have made sense !
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. The Football Team is awesome
@@carl13220Commanders isn't a good name, but Redskins is unacceptable.
THE WASHINGTON COMMIES! sums up our country now.
Thanks guys!
DID YOU KNOW THE REDSKINS LOGO NAS DESIGNED BY A NATIVE AMERICAN?
Walter "Blackie" Wetzel, chairman of the Blackfeet Nation and president of the National Congress of American Indians, had the Idea to put the head of a Native American chief on the Redskins helmets in 1971.
"It made us all so proud to have an Indian on a big-time team, It's only a small group of radicals who oppose those names. Indians are proud of Indians." -Walter "Blackie' Wetzel, The Washington Post, 2002
Preach Jeffrey preach!
Bring the old name back would be great 👍
Big fan of overt racism I see.
For racists everywhere.
You make the world worse.
puzzy boy@@jonq8714 stop being offended
I've been following this guy's career for 20 years. Good actor.
Great actor!!
Hope to see him back as Officer Gordon in future batman movies.
Thanks Rich💪🏾
Didn't know he was a fan n him talking bout RFK brings back memories!!!
I loved this clip!
Jeffery Wright once told me on Twitter that he was once a Pipe Fitter, and he's been alright with me ever since.
Damn bro, this guy just about made me a Commanders fan.
Redskins
Bears fan here, couldn’t care less about the Washington Football Club, but I would like to say that Jeffrey White is a national treasure and I hope all his football dreams come true.
If Jeffrey doesn't have a podcast or docuseries, he needs one. Love to see him travel and discuss the history of stadiums.
what passion this dude has, i love it!
I'm from Philly and years back I was a Temple student and was in the school's marching band. We went on the road to support Temple when they played against VT. The game was in RFK and I went in I was just amazed at the stadium because it held so much Redskins history and I just soaked it all in. Good stadium man
Jeffery wright has the same speaking pattern as rich eisen but just at a lower Tone with more base
The actor I've admired for a long time. Glad that he is a Washington fan. We believe in Josh.
I have been a fan of Jeffery Wright for so long, to find out that he is a Washington fan .... amazing.
Washington should consider going back to their old summer camp in Carlisle too!
I am pretty confident Washington will achieve something this year. They made a lot of big moves, and I am pretty excited to see how the season turns out.
"Scan danger and find opportunity" incredible quote, perfect analysis of what makes a great QB. Put this in Latin on the statue outside the school of Brady
I remember him in Shaft, his characters name was Peoples, lol he played a drug dealer and was awesome.
Ever since he played Holt in Ride with the Devil hes been one of my favorite actors
I was at the NFC Championship game when they beat the Lions in 92 It was a bucket list experience
In the 30 years at RFK stadium, the Redskins won 11 playoff games, including 5 NFC Championships - in the 30 years at Fedex field they won a grand total of ONE playoff game - Watching a Redskins game at RFK was quite the experience, I'm glad I was able to live that experience
He has the voice of a Quiet Storm DJ
Love Jeffrey as great an actor as Denzel , trust
He should have won an Emmy for Westworld. Even as the show declined, Jeffrey Wright's acting was always top notch. One of the few actors on that show that was a contender and not just another pretender.
Became a fan of this guy watching West World. Super talented
Rollingwood ES representing!
He has an amazing voice.
True fan. No question.
I could listen to this dude talk about whatever forever
Thank god we have him to narrate our Super Bowl dvd
We need a domed stadium in DC the Super bowl in the nations capitol
I so agree I would rather they be The Washington Football Team
My name is People's , do you know why they call me that?
great voice. he should voice the Watcher
Yes! Even fans from other teams think the Commanders name has to go.
Washington Wolves is the only name change I approve.
So nite NC State 😊😊😊😊
Redwolves, Redhogs, Hogs, or just WFT
Warriors
Redskins
Rough Riders
Commanders wil get the NFC EAST title ! Bold prediction.
It won't happen until they get a new stadium if it ever does
Great actor
It’s a NEW DAY in DC!!!!!!!!! HTTR
When I see him, I think first of the remake of the Manchurian Candidate, when he was the traumatized vet who contacts Denzel's character. Then Bond. Then Syriana...
They should resurrect one of the original NFL team names... like the Bulldogs (Canton) for instance. Or the INDEPENDENTS (Rock Island)!
I'm a Cowboys fan and I think they should go back to Redskins. It would be sweet.
The Washington Red Wolves. Very similar to Redskins and you can keep the maroon and yellow color scheme.
Great name ! It’s a lot better then the lame Commanders.
RedWolves would have been a good name.A link to their previous name and they could use one of those Red Siberian Husky type dogs as a live mascot.
Should have been the Washington Warriors
When Jeffrey was talking about scanning and assessing … I was thinking he’d be a good captain in Star Trek 🤔🤔🤔
After Jeff said his piece, Rich should have been like “analysis”
I never knew commissioner Gordon was from the DMV and a commanders fan 😮
me too!
Now that’s my kind of super fan right right there
Jeffrey my fellow REDSKINS Fan is SPOT on regarding the name change....can't happen fast enough! WARRIORS or WASHINGTON!
Washington Warriors. Yeah, NBA has the Warriors…but it’s doable. Exhibit A: MLB and NFL share Giants and Cardinals.
It’s literally perfect, many uniform options also.
Basketball
This guy needs to narrate a Washington football team doc.
sharks, razorbacks,crusaders,dragons, gladiators,marauders,knights, so many better options still out there.. although if I had my preference I would've kept it as Football Team.
Sentinels.
Redskins
Redwolves!!
Redskins
Loved dude in Westworld
He’s an icon
As for the name change, I think they will wait until they are ready to announce a new stadium plan and announce a new name at the same time.
Great Interview!! However, no CRYBABY Caleb!!!
Mahomes is 6'2" 225, Williams is 6 ft, 215.
On paper.
@@blakeharris58 Mahomes is bigger on paper and in reality
I wanna see what Williams officially measures in at. He's listed at 6'1, but players often lie about their height and weight.
