After a whirlwind of a week, let’s take a moment and ask ourselves, “What moves have the Washington Commanders made in March?”
It’s been super-busy, and at first glance, the Commanders who had one of the older rosters in the NFL last season will also have one of the older ones this season, according to those players obtained thus far in March.

Capello unconvinced by Milan after 2-1 Como comeback: ‘Didn’t look like a team’
Fabio Capello has been left unconvinced by Milan despite winning their last two matches in Serie A, as he felt the Rossoneri ‘didn’t look like a team’ during their 2-1 comeback victory over Como in San Siro on Saturday evening.
For the second week in a row, and not for the first time under Sergio Conceicao, Milan had to come from behind to claim victory on Saturday, falling behind to Lucas Da Cunha before a second-half turnaround from Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders.
The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to safely make the NCAA Tournament despite having a losing record in SEC play. Georgia basketball is projected to be the No. 9 seed in ESPN’s latest bracketology.
A record-setting 13 SEC teams are projected to make the SEC Tournament. The SEC’s strength is a big reason why Georgia (20-12, 8-10 SEC) is an NCAA Tournament lock. The Bulldogs ended their regular season on a four-game winning streak to give a major boost to their March Madness hopes.
Arsenal are hosting Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium today in what is sure to be a feisty London derby between two Premier League rivals.
The second-placed Gunners can reduce the 15-point gap to Liverpool with a victory here, on a day when the league leaders play Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, and Mikel Arteta has the benefit of bringing back several of the stars he rested for the midweek draw with PSV in the Champions League, as Arsenal chase their first league win for a month.
Liverpool and Newcastle United clash at Wembley with the first silverware of the season up for grabs in the Carabao Cup final.
Newcastle have not won a major domestic trophy in 70 years and the Magpies will travel down to London with high hopes of ending one of the longest droughts in British sport. Eddie Howe’s side lost the 2023 final to Manchester United and have endured a woeful record against Liverpool in recent years, with the Reds winning seven of their eight meetings since Howe took charge.
🎥 Relive this Garnacho stunner from when Ruud’s role was reversed
Last time Manchester United faced Leicester City, the roles for Ruud van Nistelrooy were reversed, with the Dutchman still in temporary charge of the Reds.
His unbeaten record of three wins and a draw during that four-game spell reads vastly differently to his current struggles with the Foxes, who Man Utd face later today.
Back then, Alejandro Garnacho scored a beauty in a 3-0 win, which you can see here.
Barcelona’s La Liga hopes get a lift as Atletico Madrid will be without two key players
As Barcelona gear up for a crucial away fixture against Atletico Madrid, they have been handed a significant advantage.
As such, Diego Simeone’s side will be without two of their key players, which could tilt the balance in favour of the Catalan giants.
Atletico Madrid captain Koke and forward Angel Correa will both be unavailable for selection.
Correa begins serving a five-match suspension following his red card against Getafe, which was further aggravated by his verbal exchange with the referee.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Lewis Hamilton’s relationship with his new Ferrari team was pressure tested in Australia, where he finished a disappointing 10th on debut, and was frustrated by a bad strategy Sunday that cost him a potential victory, and constant radio chatter throughout the difficult race won by McLaren’s Lando Norris.
Hamilton started eighth, and spent the first third of it behind the rear wing of Williams’ Alex Albon.

Could Eddie Howe ever be Liverpool manager? Perhaps the moment has passed forever, and this job is now Arne Slot’s for the life cycle of this current team and beyond. Maybe Howe is bound to Newcastle United for the time being, as the leading English manager of his generation and one less decision that the admittedly restless Saudis have to make. So much would have to change, so much would need to align.
