What Should #commanders Fans Call the Former FedExField? | Grant & Danny
Topic at hand this isn’t important because we’re actually going to determine at the end of this segment once and for all Danny what I will be referring to FedEx field as moving forward the team to their credit and I’ll tip my cap they’ve gotten ahead of this they’re just going to name it Commander field it’s all over their website that’s what they want I’m not doing that I don’t know if commanders is the long-term name ownership hasn’t come out and told me to buy in I seem to think because of that that they might change their name again I think that even though commander in and of itself when I hear it out loud I don’t love it I don’t go as far as to say it’s cringeworthy I think hearing Commander field for some reason is so I’m just not doing that I’d rather do Command Center but I’m also not doing that what am I going to call FedEx that’s the question 800 636 1067 we’ll get to the calls in a moment I’m going to pitch my couple of ideas to you okay first idea I’ve got is the age-old like bad joke about f X but now I think I can use it and feel okay about it Fed Up field bad Stadium people are fed up with it yeah so I I don’t even have to say field I can just moving forward say the games at fed up and it sounds kind of like FedEx it rolls off the tongue it’s very quick it’s easy and quick everybody knows what I’m talking about and just naturally maybe at first people go what’s he talking about what’s he saying but a few months from now when you’re listening to the show in October and they’re playing a home game against Carolina or whatever Thursday night football at fed up we’re going to fedup Sunday at 1:00 let’s see what happens the boys kick off just after one Fed Up field is kind of the leader in the clubhouse for me Danny give me a suggestion what is that Stadium what is the location what has it been for some time you got one word one syllable what do you think about what do you think about that home field overrun by opposing fans miserable to get in and out bad sight lines long weights cold chicken tenders what do you think about I think about Dallas Cowboy fans screaming at me the whole experience every time I’ve been Nubs that place is Nubs it sucks I will be referring it to referring to it as Nubs field the game is at Nubs do they have a game at Nubs this weekend is it a home game steamed up they’re at Nubs the place is Nubs the idea is Nubs the idea that they might be there for a second longer than their contraction required to be is a non-starter and terrible the whole thing is Nubs therefore if so facto Nubs so Nubs field Nubs field and for short Nubs Nubs Fed Up field for short fed up our buddy richond John tweeted me said change the name field there’s a little bit of momentum there a good some other good ones I see here the battlefield from Carter Elliot MH I don’t hate that the battlefield I mean there’s a little bit too much you got to do the yes exactly it’s a little too wordy with the syllables the battlefield that’s four I’d like to I’d like to get shrink that down a little bit but we can Workshop that saw dust says the only correct answer is winning off the field two words winning off the and field that’s not a bad bit are they wafted that’s not a bad idea they’re Planet winning off them I am actually gonna jot that down right now it’s a lot that’s a cumbersome construction it is but it’s good but I I like it from a branding standpoint the commanders and the Lions Sunday at four o’clock at winning off the winning off the field thank you Bruce and we gota we all know we got to keep Bruce’s Traditions alive Legacy alive we can David says raljon Coliseum MH don’t sleep on ralhan Maryland was it ever ralhan Stadium I think it was right before Jack was it R John Stadium cuz I know it was in Ral John Maryland I don’t remember it was called R John actually I think that might play a little bit what I like about that is the disrespect to Dan Snyder yeah that he picked commanders I’m not using that and I’m just going back to the previous owner as if you never existed and I just say over at ralon and real ones no that’s one of those that separates the wheat from the chaff a little bit like if you hear raljon and you’re like what’s he talking about that’s not a word you don’t don’t remember but if you’re a real one you know about Rajan Maryland you know about Kenny Albert and Dick Stockton in their younger years welcoming you into rjn Ral John Maryland all right let’s take some calls 80063 61067 let’s go to Michael in northe East on Grant and Danny what’s up Michael hey how you guys doing today hey buddy hey uh so Grant I really liked your example about hey if I’m telling my parents or someone older that knows at athetic field hey yeah I’m going over to ftic former uh yeah we don’t know what the new name is going to be but Command Center is is definitely a non-starter for me I like FedEx former and I I remember messaging you you said he loved it FedEx former is outstanding I you tell me this and maybe this is nitpicky does former FedEx roll off the tongue easier than FedEx former I think former FedEx rolls off the top let me try it home game this weekend FedEx former home game this weekend at former FedEx first one FedEx former okay FedEx former I actually like that fine now FF FedEx is continuing to get some love as a sponsor they’re not paying for that love no it’s free we okay with that not for me whole thing’s Nubs sh have on Stadium Nubs I I think FedEx former is very good that is going to be on my I have to move winning off the off the podium that’s going to supplant it I’m only going to have three finalists at any given moment so winning off that just got knocked off I’ve got fed up raljon or FedEx former ralon is is a feeling I I came into this thinking I was going to go with feda ralon is a hard charger ralon is making a push that is pretty good Jeremy’s in Ashburn home of the commanders what’s up Jeremy hi guys I uh I think I’m going to go with hogpen kind of has some nostalgic Vibes it might instigate new ownership into a new potential idea and our fans love living in raw sewage what else do I got to say to it huh there’s a trough I get the difference between Pig and hog from a commander and and organizational history standpoint Pig Pen sounds a lot better and kind of really describes the joint right I’m going over to the Pig Pen hog sty the Pig Pen hog Pen’s great because you got the Harris ownership group or the Hogs also I think the name should be the Hogs should have been the Hogs to begin with just staring you right in the face just looking right at you looking at you hey everyone like me I’m right here it’s from when we were good but you had to know you just knew better than the rest got a Wayne in Pennsylvania what’s up Wayne part on wi hey how’s it going um how about just calling it our home field it’s correct it is our home field but can you use that in a sentence pleas oh I see what you’re doing yeah go ahead yeah we’re playing the 49ers at our home field on Sunday okay so really never give it a name ever just refer to it as at home basically yeah mhm yeah I’m I’m not real keen on fed up because come the middle of the Season I’m hoping that we’re not fed up with anything other than that they other than that stupid name well then we’ll be fed up with the winning I mean we’ll be fed up with how handsome Adam Peters is and all the credit he’s getting for this great roster on ESPN that’s actually pretty creative where you just go where’s like where’s the game this weekend our home field because you’re always saying our home field I don’t like three words okay um but I I could just say what if I just always said home there you go they’re playing at home there you go if it was just the word home but we’re gonna have to say the name of the stadium at some point in what way like give me a time when you have to say I use it in a sentence please place of origin yeah uh one’s last time you went to the stadium and then you’re gonna be like uh which which one which stadium okay which I was that Nat par when’s the last time you went home does not work there you see what I’m saying when’s the last time you went to ralon does yeah you now you know it R Jones on my Podium I think you’re sleeping on fed up a little bit because it sounds so much like you know exactly what I’m talking about I know exactly what you mean and I’ve never that’s been the name forever that people informally yeah I mean but also FedEx Field I only that’s very formal that’s like I’m wearing a a dress shirt with buttons and a tie I refer to it as FedEx which is why these companies pay a lot of money by the way there it is but like on a text or if I’m just on the phone like hey I’ll be at FedEx in 30 minutes hey I’m on my way to FedEx I’m not in FedEx Field you know I’m not dropping off a package on a October 3rd on my way to the game in a tailgate you know what I mean like what time you getting here you’ll be over at FedEx in 30 minutes k Go’s doing two day overnight no let’s go to Dominic who’s listening on the Odyssey app he’s doing that yeah in Ohio very very handsome by the way looks like Adam Peters what’s up Dominic hey boys thanks as always for taking the call I got a couple suggestions if you’ll indulge me uh so number one is left hand up Stadium Danny that’s for you Dominic how dare you number two is Great American restaurant Stadium Grant that’s for you we can call it the Maui pineapple chicken if you will oh Mr NPC I on that yeah uh but I think ultimately uh Washington football stadium even though it sounds like a bit kind of sounds the best until they actually figure out what the hell they’re doing with the name so many words football stadium so many words going to Washington football stadium I can’t it’s just too much the same as Washington football team mhm but he seems to think like I think he said until they figure out what they’re doing with the name don’t you guys get that by saying nothing they are breathing oxygen into the idea that they will be changing the name again so I’m not telling them they have to change the name or that they should although I think they should but I’m not saying that what I am saying to anyone listening that matters is every day that goes by where you kick the candy down the road which is what we’re all assuming is happening when you go it’s not a priority right now we’re not really sure right now and we’ve got other things we’re considering that is not this will be the name think about how different these two things are the name will always be commanders or we got other things we got to fix first right now because that’s what they’ve said so far the saying nothing is being taken as saying something and if if that’s not your plan if that’s not what you’re thinking you need to come out and address it and say get used to commanders cuz people will start to fall in line not to the extent that you’d probably like but there are people like me as soon as you say this thing is a thing forever I’ll just get more used to it I’ll get my kids the merch that I haven’t necessarily they got some stuff but for the most part we’re we’re keeping it casual because I I I don’t know if I’m wasting money I I think something else is coming in the next few years if I’m wrong tell me 100% Lead Me in the direction that I need to be walking need a status report I know they don’t want to put the cartp before the horse and say we’re going to we’re going to do this then everyone’s looking at the watch Co when are you doing it when when when when when when when that’s that’s tough too it’s rocking a hard place but you are 100% correct I triple stamp your double stamp Lloyd the longer this there’s no definitive it means there’s something to this it means there’s smoke it means there’s the the the the time in Castaway when Tom an is rubbing the two six together before he lets the area get to it and he actually gets fired we’re right there we’re all sitting here begging for something right because this is me saying Grant didn’t say this I’m saying this the name sucks every time I hear it it reminds me of Dan Snider figuratively smacking me in the face and thumbing his nose at me and going hahaa you’re stuck it’s the last vestage of him cut it right off amputate it immediately and then shoot fire at it let us all come and take a turn with the flamethrower get rid of it this instant it’s horrible it was never good anyone who thought it was good should have to believe well and there are a group of people that have bought in Andor like it but I would say that 90% of those people would buy in on any name if they were the ear wax those guys would have gotten the shirt day one and waited in line for it like taking selfies because people are necessary and they’re the ones that are traveling to games listening and like that is the the heart and soul in a lot of ways of the fan base so that’s a good thing but my point is just I don’t think they loved it because it was awesome you could have named the team anything and they would have found a way to make it work just like they will with the next name so well you have that little circle of people that are going to follow you into whatever battle you go into with the name you got to get a bigger Circle you got to get more people that can tolerate the name and I also heard in your monologue there and your Soliloquy that you are putting the suggestion left-and up stadium in your Mount Rushmore no that what you said no it’s on the podium no nope on the YouTube stream right now you’ll notice both my hands are touching the desk keep your hands down it’s embarrassing you understand it it’s embarrassing let’s go to Brandon in Waldorf on g& D what’s up Brandon hey G how are you doing today good buddy good okay so I have a very simple one that works and and it works for multiple multiple reasons if you go into a match game you say You’re going to the ball partk or Nats partk you going to the Wizards of caps you saying you going to Capital One or cap one when you go when you were going to former FedEx Field you going to see a game there’s nothing special about it no I mean the team had it moments but like there’s nothing about that stadium that stands out to you that makes it feel like a home stadium so when you ride around time I say Grant who they play week two you say I where do they play week two against the Giants you say this Stadium the stadium is good because I’m a Believer like I like excellence Simplicity the stadium it’s clean it actually is something I could get down with I don’t know if it’ll be my favorite I’m going to jot it down I got a good tweet here from somebody I’m at Grand H Paulson Danny’s at funny Danny X fed field little double meaning it’s no longer FedEx the X Stadium you know what I like the X the x is kind of silly I like the X did you just stumble into that yeah that’s going to up a little bit that just that might have bumped somebody I’m knocking FedEx former out the x is now I I love that I got of dig the X so I’ve got ralon uhuh Fed Up and the X what what order do you like those in one two three say them one more time for me roll roll them out like try to try to make it you and me having a conversation Commander Giants one o’clock on Sunday at Ron commanders Panthers one o’clock on Sunday at Fed Up commanders Chargers 4 o’cl on Sunday at The X dude dud dud like the X dude that that catapulted for me for you for me for you does that make sense for your rankings are you sticking with yeah it’s Nubs Nubs Feld yeah just Nubs okay yeah right now my order is there’s a few minutes left here I kind of like ralon I like raljon now I I’m curious because Clary you’re young enough darus you’re new enough to the game here you guys have no memory or recollection of ralon Maryland so does that appeal to you in any way or do you just think that sounds stupid I think it sounds stupid I have no file on that at all so when I keep saying ran that’s so funny that’s so great you’re going it’s like Danny hearing his kid say a word yeah it’s just it’s just kind of going in one ear not the other because I have no idea what you guys are talking about so I believe if this is how it went Jack Kent Cook’s kids were named Ralph Ralph and John and John so Jack Kent cook bought the land to BU build the stadium on and he named that area that town whatever part of PG County ralhan Maryland it was his own little area and then when he built the stadium on ran lot people said I’m going over to ralon now this is literally when I was a little kid when the stadium was new late 90s I’m going to say it was probably from maybe 95 before they built it and were breaking ground through like 99 and after really Dan took over obviously the the they were gone so it was over but that that is just a deep cut like real nice Rec it’s a good bet this is this is that’s a real story that’s a real thing that happened that’s a fact but yeah wow that’s awful so Ron’s a little bit silly it it’s silly in the in the throwback in the th in the throwback area yeah sure absolutely so have you heard anything you like more than ralhan fed up or the X uh I I I’m kind of digging the X I I was going to ask you I want to hear you say the X doing a fake open to the fox theme music would you would you be a to do that could you give us one of those well as you know you know the clock we can do that as soon as we return all right we’ve got business to attend to uh but we’ve also got a lot of suggestions here so we can get to those next 80063 61067 also just out of curiosity you guys don’t hate the name as much as Danny does and on a scale of like Danny hates it and I don’t know who but like rally somebody loves it um where are you at on the name like Commander field your fine with that or you’d like to call it something else no I I hate the stadium I hate I hate the field I hate everything about the Commander’s name not as much as Danny but I I hate it so much so so you’re not gonna call it Commander field no I don’t have a problem calling it Commander field just because that’s what the team wants us to call it that’s fine I’m not going to be a rebel uh I found myself more recently not liking the name as much because now we’re starting to hear more and more players make fun of the name oh you this is hitting darus hard sending videos to us like I don’t care what Joey Porter J thinks about anything but like the Pittsburgh Steelers corner is like joning on uh Emanuel Forbes on a on a video call they’re on FaceTime and he’s like you play for the commanders ha that’s a stupid name and who is the other person Mont when Montes sweat said it on Chris Long’s podcast now that he’s a bears guy he’s like joning on the name but but that kind of like opens my eyes that okay cool if those guys think that it’s stupid that means that the players on the team probably they play in the NFL and other NFL players probably feels similarly I don’t think that’s a coincidence how could they not think it’s stupid it sounds like a video game arcade team y there’s so many other teams that sound stupid too though but we just but they’re not two years old I don’t know if you named all those teams now they would probably think they sound stupid too yeah absolutely so if you give it 40 years no one’s going to be on whatever version of FaceTime exists then you’re like commanders is a terrible name and that’s why that’s why at first when they said the name I wasn’t one of these people who was enraged by how stupid the name sounds but now that I’m hearing players kind of realize or or say and come out that this name is stupid it is becoming a little bit embarrassing to me I I don’t hate the name I just want to go on record oh I think I think the name is not that good I don’t like the name I think any name they would have picked other than the one I wanted and I don’t mean that selfishly but it’s just my idea was let’s appeal to the people that are angry and call them the Hogs and Bridge the the era and I think that’s the thing they did the worst so if you’re not going to go with something that was burgundy and gold clad and was all about the organization everyone was going to hate it for a while and that we’re just in that period whatever they were and they picked something that means nothing so that that’s kind of where I’m at I call them the commanders I got no problem but don’t now tell me to do commanders field and uh you know that’s just the brand you got to embrace all of it I will not be doing that yeah that’s all you have to do I have my Commander’s lunchbox and my you know I’m eating my Commander’s snack like leave me alone everyone leave me alone you guys throw your anniversary party you and darus on 2222 every year you know like how fun was this I I’m just not going to be playing along with all of the skits and the bits speaking of which someone was listening yesterday because I thought this was good uh they just said how about Ral Jean skibbidy I tell you that fits 80063 61067 we’re looking for a new name skib for FedEx FedEx is no longer a sponsor the team is going with Commander field we’re not going to be doing that

The Ex? Raljon? Fed Up?
Grant won’t call the stadium “Commanders Field” so he and Danny hit the phone lines to get the best names from Commanders fans for the stadium formerly known as FedExField.
