Brandon Aiyuk is STILL making waves on social media, and there are other wide receivers out there too. We cover all angles of the Aiyuk situation, plus other Commanders news, in this week’s Best of Commanders!

Love the actual show - the Junks are consistently entertaining for me, but I will NEVER subscribe, because of all of the extra garbage mini segment downloads. If I’m behind a day or two I have to delete 20-30 auto-downloads!
Also, the commercial placement is infuriating, and whoever’s in charge of that is terrible at their job. The Junks will throw it to break but will immediately be back, then 5 minutes later a jarring block of commercials will interrupt them mid-sentence.

And Maher is the new Awadd. Same forced persona, trying to impress the Junkies.
