That really feels like a waste of a drumroll (The Fightin’ Dolly Partons)

February 2022

“The Washington Football Team, formerly known as the Redskins, announced its new name and logo on Wednesday, rebranding as the Washington Commanders.The Commanders’ kind of sounds like an action movie where Dolph Lungren and Sylvester Stallone join forces to defend their assisted living facility.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Interestingly, the franchise now shares a name with President Biden’s dog, who is also named Commander. Good thing they didn’t name it after Trump’s dog. ‘The Washington Pences’ — it doesn’t have the same ring to it.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“It’s the Washington Commanders. That really feels like a waste of a drumroll.” —Stephen Colbert

“Commanders’ might be the only name more generic than ‘Football Team.’ I was hoping for something fun and new, like ‘The Washington Balloons’ or ‘The Fightin’ Dolly Partons.’” —Stephen Colbert

“The Washington Football Team announced today that it officially changed its name to the Washington Commanders, as in ‘Rams 37, Commanders 3.’” —Seth Meyers

“I mean, call them whatever you want, they haven’t been able to command a winning season since Obama was in office.” —James Corden

“To give you an idea of how fans reacted, shortly after the announcement, this is true, the word ‘terrible’ trended on Twitter, which is surprising, considering how Twitter is normally so welcoming and so positive.” —James Corden
