Ben is excellent. My favorite media guy that covers the Commanders. He just reports actual facts. He doesn't sugar coat problems and He's not a delusional fan boy like Kevin Sheehan. All Sheehan does is lick Adam Peters scrotum and get a cactus up his rectum anytime anybody has even a minor criticism of Daniels. Ben Standig all day every day
Ben’s show is really fantastic! Must listen for football fans. Always insightful. Not sensational. Really enjoy the show. So good. Thanks, Ben

Fans of DC-area sports and NFL coverage can expect deep, on-the-ground analysis of the Washington Commanders, Wizards, and broader league trends. Episodes often center on roster moves, player evaluation from the NFL Combine and draft, coaching changes, and offseason strategy, with occasional detours into local media landscape and team branding. A standout is the host's access to decision makers and insiders, resulting in informed takes, early looks at free agency targets, and practical perspectives for teams rebuilding on a tight cap. This mix makes it helpful for listeners who want thoughtful, no-nonsense sports reporting with a focus on actionable insights for teams, sponsors, and PR pros in the football/dc-sports niche.
