Washington Commander you would steal for the Miami Dolphins!

With the Washington Commanders coming to town last week for a joint practice and pre-season game, I posted the following question-

If you could steal any player from the Washington Commanders roster to place on the Miami Dolphins roster, which player would it be and why? Who would you then cut from the Miami Dolphins roster (someone who we at least assume will make the regular season roster at this point), and why?

Well, I screwed up and cut and pasted the question from the same post about the Atlanta Falcons and forgot to change the name of the teams, but luckily, you all knew what I meant. Below are some of your best answers and thoughts on the question of the day-

Alley Gator wants an exciting rookie quarterback as an insurance policy.

Jayden Daniels. He’s on a cheap rookie contract and will play this season, because no one can survive behind our IOL.

Saskatchefin would like to steal a couple of defensive upgrades/depth pieces.

Daron Payne as he would fill a spot at DT where Wilkins left. I would also look at Jeremy Chinn as he would be someone to fill one of the 3 Safety positions.

sdphinsfan wants a possible star rookie tight end.

Ben Sinnott. This rookie is going to be a star at the TE position. He blocks (really well), has great hands, great at YAC.

The Earl says to go get this “most underrated” wideout.

Terry McLaurin. He’s produced 4 straight 1000 seasons & narrowly missed his 5th one as a rookie with 919 yards. He produces despite having had mostly trash at QB. He’s a solid route runner & has missed 3 games total in his career. He may be the most underrated WR in the league. If Miami added him as WR3 in this offense, they might score 40 ppg.

Yarganaught already got his wish fulfilled.

I would totally steal Fuller… Oops, looks like we already did!

JKBMia has a list that includes the rookie QB, a center, a tackle, and a defensive lineman.

Liked Biadasz a lot coming out of school was bummed we didn’t draft him then.
Likely him, Cosmi or DPayne. Something to plug the holes we have in the middle.
Looking at cutting Driscoll on OL or Pili/Gallimlre on DT.

dedstrk316 would like to execute the old steal and trade move.

I love Jayden Daniels but would I steal him since we just signed Tua? Yes, steal him and trade him for picks.

Dolfanjoe is down with taking Sinnott away from the Commanders.

They drafted a young TE who may be the real thing! All around and young!

21Dave wants a nasty defensive tackle.

D.Payne we can always use an upgrade on IDL!! Not sure any OL would be a up grade from what we have.

phinette wants an upgrade at center. Me too, me too!

Hands down Tyler Biadasz. It will be interesting to see how Luke McCarthy does. I noticed he is taking first team reps.

TheRoo1 wants a new name for the Commanders that fits their region. I suggest the Washington Con Men!?!

Teams names should reflect the city it represents. Dolphins fits Miami. Likewise Cowboys fit Dallas and so on.
For DC, the Federal fuqqups would be appropriate.

72Phins4ever wants to trade a crap backup QB for a center. If Grier could pull that off, he would deserve the GM of the year award. Is there an award for that?

Tyler Biadasz give them Mike White and his cap hit.

SuperG!, we are all with you. Literally every Miami Dolphins fan agrees with you!

Which Commanders would I steal? I have no idea. Who do they got on the IOL? It’s gotta be better than what we got there.

daytonadolfan must know something that the rest of us do not.

Can we get their water boy?

There are a lot of great suggestions, especially for anyone who can play along the offensive line. I can not tell you how concerned I am that the entire season could be derailed based on the lack of quality across the offensive line. I’m still hoping for a trade or two to upgrade the line. As always, thank you to each of you who took the time to answer the question of the day.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury announces she’s pregnant

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.

The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.

Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.

Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.

Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.

Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).

The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.

The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.

Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.

The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.

Washington state board awards Yakima 5,600 loan for Sixth Avenue project design

YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.

The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.

The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.

The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.

The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.

Microsoft promises more AI investments at University of Washington

Microsoft promises more AI investments at University of Washington

Microsoft will ramp up its investment in the University of Washington.

Brad Smith, the company’s president, made the announcement at a press conference with University of Washington President Robert Jones on Tuesday.

That means hiring more UW graduates as interns at Microsoft, he said.

And he said all students, faculty, and researchers should have access to free, or at least deeply-discounted, AI.

“ Some of it is compute that Microsoft is donating, and some of it is pursuant to an agreement where, believe me, we give the University of Washington probably the best pricing that anybody’s gonna find anywhere,” Smith said. He assured the small group of reporters present that it would be “many millions of dollars of additional computational resources.”

The announcement today didn’t include any specific numbers.

But Smith said Microsoft has already invested $165 million in the UW over several decades.

He pointed to Jones’ vision to spur “radical collaborations with businesses and communities to advance positive change,” and eliminate “any artificial barriers between the university and the communities it serves.”

Microsoft’s goal is for AI to help UW researchers solve some of the world’s biggest problems without introducing new ones.

At Tuesday’s announcement, several research students were present to demonstrate how AI supports their work.

Amelia Keyser-Gibson is an environmental scientist at the UW. She’s using AI to analyze photographs of vines, to find which adapt best to climate change.

It’s a paradox: AI produces carbon emissions. At the same time, it’s also a new tool to help reduce them.

So how do those things square for Keyser-Gibson?

“ That’s a great question, and honestly, I don’t know the answer to that,” she said. “I’m highly aware that there’s a lot of environmental impact of using AI, but what I can say is that this has allowed us to make research innovations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.”

“If we had had to manually annotate every single image that would’ve been an undergrad doing that for hours,” Keyser-Gibson continued. “And we didn’t have the budget. We didn’t have the manpower to do that.”

“AI exists. If we don’t use it as researchers, we’re gonna fall behind.”

Microsoft reports on its own carbon emissions. But like most AI companies, it doesn’t reveal everything.

That’s one reason another UW student named Zhihan Zhang is using AI to estimate how much energy AI is using.
