Commanders Fan Jeffrey Wright Is THRILLED with Franchise’s Stunning Rebirth | The Rich Eisen Show

[@matthewhale8958]

Lets go Commanders. Jeffrey definitely speaks for all of us here

[@GraV21]

I went to school with, and am friends with Jeffrey Wright’s niece, Nikia. The whole family are solid solid folks.

[@Olph1]

One of my favorite podcast talking to one of my favorite actors talking about my favorite team. Who has it better? Nooobody!

[@jamescheeseman4786]

Right there with you

[@jedwing]

Jeffrey! My brother Christian Kirby went to Sidwell in 77 to 81. And we grew up in that area. 36th Place NW. I've loved your acting for decades and had no idea you're from Chocolate City! All the best. Love, Mark Kirby

[@davidlinehat4657]

I'm reading your comment at my house on 32nd St! Lol, the internet and OUR football team brings us together

[@GraV21]

@jedwing, are you related to Terry Kirby and the Slade’s by any chance? I’m in the 757 & grew up with one of their nieces & am familiar with the Slades. Good friends with Niki’s Slade

[@joeleonard2847]

The voice of the "watcher "(marvel) is a commanders fan 😀🥳😎😃

[@TruthOverLies]

Chocolate city run by criminals 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Highrockman]

Washington Football has been part of my life as long as I can remember.(63+ years).Its such a joy to see them be competitive again..

[@RushISVarietyB]

Jeff knows his Washington football! I love it!!

[@elliottwilson3654]

Couldn’t explain Us as Washington fans any better. 💯💯🏹🏹🏹 The lights are finally back on

[@brittanyd9447]

That’s why it makes me so mad when people attack Jayden, our team, etc. They work so hard and are defying all expectations in year one of the rebuild. Everything is new. The ownership, GM, coaching staff all down to the water boy. The staff is doing an excellent job developing a rookie QB and managing a 70% roster flip. All of our former first round draft picks for the last 5 seasons are no longer on this team. Yea we slipped, but injuries had taken hold and so did exhaustion - especially when you have you play 13 straight games with no bye. I do not know how the season will end. I will be sad if we don’t secure a wildcard spot, but this franchise has a lot to be proud of this season! And it’s only up from here!

[@petewinston9964]

Agreed right on point .

[@dillonmthomas]

Great interview. He gets it!!!!

[@ArthurDayneFirstOfHisName]

I’m not sure why, but an actor (ahem, great actor) that is so into the intricacies of his team, my team, amazes me. Seems like he has so many [other] things to do but he’s just like us (me) great interview as usual. 💪🏾

[@GraV21]

I went to school with, and am friends with Jeffrey Wright’s niece, Nakia. The whole family are solid solid folks.

[@Pricetag33]

The best Commissioner Gordon!

[@bbjeppson]

From Muddy Waters to Dr Narcisse to Felix Lighter to Bernard on Westworld, what an incredible range. And he was great in Syriana and American Fiction too.

[@gerardanderson8688]

Don't forget "People's" in Shaft with Samuel L Jackson

[@terrancea.thornton7654]

All successful organizations are led by high character and high culture people!

[@skaterx999]

Right, people used to mock that during the Rivera era, but it's important. The problem is that the management and coaching then was still messy. But that doesn't change the value of character and culture. And arguably we needed that Ron Rivera bridge to get where we are from where we were.

[@jakedunnegan]

Great segment! LOVED IT! And of course, have enjoyed Jeffrey Wright's acting going back a bit.. at least to the Hunger Games, James Bond, and Boardwalk Empire - and he was amazing in West World.

[@dillonmthomas]

Love this

[@MiltonDelaney]

Well said Mr. Wright! Go Commanders!!

[@DESIGNATED_DARKHORSE]

Best. Actor. Ever. (At least now he is! 😂)

[@robertriteman3227]

He has always been an amazing actor .... but I have to admit for years I thought of him as some esoteric arts type and had no inclination that he was regular sports fan . It is always nice to see that aspect of people associated with the Arts as it is a reminder of our commonality .

[@RunningThruLife]

Dem Skins back baby..next off-season will be huge.😊

[@Joe-oj4rh]

Yuuuge Redskins will win the superbowl with Trump as president

[@Sneaker_Net]

Right on!

[@JadeDragonMeli]

Man, I was standing in line with my wife and daughter waiting to get into a Cyndi Lauper concert for the Hail Mary. Chicago scored while we were outside, and I was having some of those same Snyder feelings that we were going to blow it. But my daughter, my daughter! My daughter says, "No, they have time, they can win". She already believed this team could do it. And as we were about to have our picture taken at the little picture area they had set up inside, we hit the hail Mary and we both looked at each other with our mouths wide open and said "I wish we could have seen that at home"! She knew. So awesome. They've been losers her whole life and now she feels like they have a chance against anybody. It's good to see. We just went to the game last week vs the Titans, we had a blast. It was nice to cheer for a team you believe in, with players that appreciate they love we give them, like Terry!

[@stopiwantoff7965]

Nobody does it better than Jeffery Wright in acting. He doesn't bring nothing but A+ to the table.

[@garyhughes1808]

Thankyou for saving my team Josh!!!

[@TeeLuc902]

THANK YOU JOSH THANK YOU MRS HARRIS🙌🏾

[@mrjsmitty555]

Our social media team isn’t up to par. They didn’t even use that clip of “I still believe in something”

[@asabry4126]

Forget movies. This dude has gravitas on a talk show

[@redskins17084]

Perfectly said,

[@corettejones]

Excellent Broadcasts! So glad I subscribed! To this Channel! HTTR/C! ✔️👍🏽

[@buddybarlow9604]

I sat on my livingroom floor just in a whole other world when Jayden threw that hail mary in the chicago game

[@arunr6854]

I unfortunately dont know this actor but I love him. Im sure it helps that Im a life long Washington fan but he seems like a really awesome guy!

[@BigSmokeJitsu]

Jeffrey Wright is a Commanders fan ?!?!?? That’s awesome !!!

[@matthewskillo8577]

Love this actor..

[@ryanowens4943]

This guy's a legit fan. This season, no matter what happens the next 4 games, has been more then we could have hoped for.

[@juicem25]

They hit the nail on the head by talking about “hope”. I haven’t had this type of feeling with the team in so long. I used to worry every time we got the ball that we would go 3 and out. Now I am hopeful that we get another TD every time we touch the ball.

[@AlphaLimaXray]

Indeed! Back during the Snyder era, it was always dread. Not this year!

[@ScottOstr]

It's great to finally have a good owner ❤

[@goldwingerppg5953]

He’s an excellent actor, I loved his acting in West World and I’ll have to watch his new program. He’s spot on with the team. I would assume the Harris’s invite him to the owners box.

[@Sean-xg3wv]

HTTR!!💪🏻👍🏻😎 It’s a new era!! Let’s GOOOO!!

[@CoachJoeTWT]

YOU GOT REAL POWER WHEN YOU HAVE THE NBA COMMISH PULLING UP TO NW STADIUM! S/O ALL THE CELEBS WHO BLEED THIS B&G. JEFF, KD, JHART, WALE, MCCONAUGHEY, DALE JR, SVP, BERRY, BERNTHAL, EALY, AND ANYBODY SE I MISSED. ALSO EVERY FAN WHO'S BEEN THROUGH THE HIGHEST OF HIGHS & THE LOWEST WHERE WE SEEN THE DARKEST OF TIMES WE DESERVE IT ALL!

[@bluetiger37]

totally...agree w this feeling as a long time Redskins fan

[@Sean-xg3wv]

JD#5 is as Humble as they get!…GOD loving human being as well!! Let’s GOOO!!🙏🏻🤩😎

[@BigD1983]

Washington Redskins 🏹

[@christiantintle2239]

I could watch Mr. Wright wax poetic about our boys for hours.

[@MySOBER-Life]

Awesome actor

[@_The_Rake]

It is great to have the hope of a brighter future for this franchise after so many years of failure under Snyder. Now if they can just rebrand to something better than a failed USFL team everything will be perfect.

[@thewinefox213]

Great role models for kids: JD, Terry, Bobby, Frankie, DQ/AP/JH.... getting the right guys!!!! Like DG28 !!! Been a minute.😂

[@SoriduSnakeu]

Whoa! Felix Leiter is a fan!

[@PaulLaurinD]

I love skins fans! We are the best. I love anything Native American. I probably could’ve married Pocahontas and live the life of adventure. After listening to this he is a true fan. Glad your part of this 😅

[@Quistheone]

Commanders ✊🏾

[@gunniellottjr483]

Gibson was a good running back wish they would have kept him, but the crew now is solid.

[@gregbutler6851]

3 decades honestly

[@RedMage117]

I think a better analogy than a coma is like you have a long time friend, but he has been in an abusive relationship with a toxic woman for a couple decades. She has wrecked his home, destroyed his relationships, stolen from him and betrayed him. And he finally divorced her and found a new girlfriend, new friends, a new job and everything is looking up for your boy.

[@Fiasco962]

Was just talking about him recommending Game Night to some fam at thanksgiving who have been sleeping on it. Casino Royale and The Batman are also some probably yearly rewatches.

[@ngoma]

“He’s letting football people do football things “ Damn straight!

[@rawrebel3883]

Get Cooie Lions on the show. She's also a Redskins fan.

[@englishwillable]

Wow. Same age, same neighborhood. Did you play at Hearst as a kid?

[@desmondfalakei7108]

I love Jeffrey Wright as an actor, but now more as a man.

[@zulutribe48]

I will always refer to Jeff as 5 boro's.....if you know you know ❤

[@manhattanmike6959]

Hey, could be a Giants fan 😢😢😢

[@MDbandit10]

they haven't beaten anybddy good. no props to be given

[@cupcake2678]

Why was rich surprised that Jeffry went to camp w Harris? They literally just had this same interview in July and he told him then, and his mind was blown then 😂 Someone get rich some notes from his last interview 😂

[@TPRighteous]

Cool story

[@sonof2022]

Man I'm so glad we didn't pick Caleb Williams. Everyone was on him cause he was from the area all that blah. We made the right choice and even more like destiny we picked 2nd. This is for all the years we was down let's 2 more sports cars one at running back and one along side Terry and I'm talking SUPER BOWL

[@joeyp1028]

Less like you’re childhood friend being in a coma, more like your childhood friend being a junkie for 20 years

[@osh_cus]

🙏🤙 HAIL

[@lortoubrowne6749]

Didn't realize he was from the area. That's what's up! HTTR4LIFE

[@bigkdawgg]

My man peoples hernandez

[@MaximLight269]

What if... Washington, D.C. had a good football team again? 😅

[@kennygwalker]

REDSKINS

[@kylemertz7949]

A true fan would never call them the commanders

[@ronniethomas8780]

The organization has moved on from that name, and rightfully so to many people, so maybe it's time for you to do the same. Finally, who are you to question people's fandom bc they choose to use the actual name of the team, or bc they don't think the way that you do?

[@dougieyoungLTC]

this video old

[@ScottOstr]

@@dougieyoungLTC I thought that too but then he talked about the recent Titans game

[@MDbandit10]

they still not relevant, haven't won a playoff game in 19 years, superbowl in over 30 years, pathetic

[@jondelmore3163]

The only thing that would make this better is if they were still called the Redskins. That name needs to come back. Commanders is such a trash name

[@nigabastard1268]

Who’s the Moulie?

[@matthew8921]

Bring back the Redskins or it means nothing

[@Dougalicious06]

Well I guess the team will mean nothing to ya anymore so good riddance 👋🏿

[@Cheeto_Duss]

Some people are so thirsty they will drink anything.

[@normadamous]

I'm hoping we can get the proud NA logo back, at least, Matt. I either call them "washington " or just "redskins " but not really "commanders "

[@ScottOstr]

Maybe in a couple years 🤞 Bring back the logo and call them Washington Warriors 🏹
