data-mm-id=”_l27adez0o”>As the hours pass, more and more people with reporting credentials and at least loose connections to those with knowledge of the Washington professional football franchise hype a looming bombshell report that will supposedly cause all hell to break loose. Very few of them work for the Washington Post, which is believed to be waiting to light the fuse on the piece. Here are some more people who have heard some things. Working my sources but apparently changing of the Redskins name will be old news come tomorrow when a bombshell report is expected to surface. There’s growing buzz that unflattering news about organization could come out in just hours. We will be live with the latest on @ABC7GMW pic.twitter.com/zTK19dV4Mo— John Gonzalez (@ABC7John) July 16, 2020Not meant to be cryptic (apologies if it comes across that way): Dan Snyder is going to be in trouble once the story comes out. Big trouble. Possibly no choice but to sell-the-team trouble. The story HAS to drop Thursday. Too much is starting to trickle out. See you tomorrow.— Joe Yasharoff (@JYash) July 16, 2020Sources are telling me soooo much bad stuff that’s about to come out about the #Redskins. I could tweet details but you can clearly see it’s already all over Twitter. It’s DISGUSTING if it’s all true. I’m going to bed now. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY VACATION WEEK!!!— Darren M. Haynes (@DarrenMHaynes) July 16, 2020Clear your schedules, Washington fans.— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) July 16, 2020pic.twitter.com/sn9oYU09at— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) July 16, 2020If this Washington (Name TBD) news is anywhere near true…Shit is gonna be BONKERS— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) July 16, 2020Yesterday we wondered aloud what going on with all this after Dan Steinberg, who works for the Post but knows nothing, pointed out the bizarre trend of winking and nodding. I’m on paternity leave and know nothing about anything but this….this is weird pic.twitter.com/JsVzmTyzVF— Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog) July 15, 2020A few hours after publishing this conflicted piece, something crazy happened. Someone who might know something reached out and told me something. That something was specific details about the story but — and this is important — could never appear in print or even a blog post because they were wildly speculative. Throwing that nugget in here not to beat my own chest but to illustrate just how widespread the rumor mill and game of telephone is right now.In fact, it's hard to remember a rumored story this massive that's remained under wraps so well for so long. At this point it might be worth considering if this will be our permanent homeostasis and the actual piece will never publish. We'll all just go on like the people on that Too Many Cooks video waiting to be put out of our misery. Plus, if everyone else is doing it, why miss out on the fun? The media ethicist stuff is for the other 364 days of the year. Or it could come out in a few hours. No one really knows anything and the people who do aren't saying anything.

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed that work is ongoing to extend the current contracts of both Leonardo Bonucci and Paulo Dybala.
The Serie A champions sit five points clear at the top of the table after Dybala s double saw Juve come from behind to beat lowly Udinese 2-1 on Saturday, Gianluigi Buffon s error having seen them go behind.
And, speaking before that match at the Juventus Stadium, Marotta commented that he is keen to tie down the long-term future of the Argentine – signed from Palermo in 2015 – as well as Italy centre-back Bonucci, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The renewals of Dybala and Bonucci they are two players that have long contracts, Marotta told Premium Sport.

According to , Bayern Munich have submitted a €60million bid for Bayer Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey.
Leverkusen are, however, not willing to accept anything under €100million, and with Real Madrid also expressing an interest, they are far more willing to sell to the Spanish giants that to the Bundesliga champions.
The report, written by respected journalist Raphael Honigstein, claims the Madrid club have contacted agent Jorge Mendes in order to explore the possibility of bringing the Jamaican to Santiago Bernabeu.
At the moment, only Bayern have submitted an actual offer and the Bavarians believe Bailey is keen on joining them, but they will have to improve their offer by a lot if they are to get the deal done. Several Premier League clubs are also said to be …
And so, after two head coach sackings, a torrent of boardroom upheaval and the most discussed transfer request of all time, Barcelona return to the scene of the crime.
The scene in terms of the tournament itself, of course. But even after swapping Saudi Arabia for Seville, the memory of last season s Supercopa de Espana semi-final will be enough to bring many a Cule out in a cold sweat.
Barca led 2-1 going into the final 10 minutes of their encounter with Atletico Madrid at King Abdullah Sports City, only to lose 3-2. Ernesto Valverde would never lead them again.
To say Valverde s sacking and its aftermath were shoddily handled would go some way to redefining the notion of understatement.
Club great Xavi was courted before deciding he would rather lead h…
Roma ace Christian Panucci is ready to sign a new contract with the Giallorossi.
The former Real Madrid and Inter defender’s contract expires in June 2009.
We have already spoken to Roma about this in the past, revealed agent Oscar Damiani. At the right moment we will find an agreement.
It is in Roma’s interest too, seeing as from January Panucci could find a new club. But it is clearly not in his intentions to interrupt this marriage with Roma, just as the directors don’t want to lose him.
This is the first time I have seen Christian so in love with the club he is playing for, added Damiani.
I’ve known him since he was a kid and he has played for the biggest sides, but is n…
It has not taken new Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos to make it clear as to which player he is keenest to sign during the transfer window, which reopens in January 2009.
Ramos said yesterday, the day on which he was appointed to take over from Bernd Schuster at the Bernabeau, that his side needed to strengthen its attack. With that in mind, he has targeted Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.
Even though they have secured the services of Ajax star striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Ramos feels that there is still a void left after the injury suffered by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is expected to be out for the remainder of the season.

Bayern Munich look likely to begin their Bundesliga campaign with a bang, while Thomas Tuchel s Borussia Dortmund revolution begins with a stern examination against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Runaway Bundesliga winners in each of the last three seasons, Pep Guardiola s side begin the 2015-16 campaign at home to Hamburg.
Bayern enjoy an aggregate scoreline of 32-3 from six successive home wins against Friday s season-opening opponents in league action and the ongoing malaise around The Dino points to another thumping.
Bruno Labbadia rescued Hamburg from relegation in last season s play-offs, but is immediately under pressure, having overseen DFB-Pokal elimination at the hands of fourth-tier Carl Zeiss Jena.
Though the start of Bayern s campaign appears easy…
Premier League quality told as Swansea City beat York City 3-0 in the League Cup second round.
Despite making 11 changes from Saturday s 1-1 draw at Sunderland, Garry Monk s side proved too strong for their League Two visitors, opening the scoring after just two minutes.
Nathan Dyer s early breakthrough for the 2013 League Cup winners was added to by second-half goals from Matt Grimes and substitute Marvin Emnes as the hosts booked a spot in round three.
Swansea s much-changed line-up still included five of the players that featured in the Wembley triumph over Bradford City who York beat in the first round this season two years ago.
Dyer was one of those, having netted twice at the national stadium, and he opened the scoring from close range after Ed…
Newly promoted Premier League side Norwich City are set to complete the loan signing of Ibrahim Amadou from Sevilla.
Amadou, 26, joined Sevilla for a reported fee of €14million in July last year, but he started just seven times in LaLiga in 2018-19.
Injuries disrupted the early part of his campaign, before he failed to hold down a place in the team under Pablo Machin and his replacement Joaquin Caparros, who had been sporting director when Amadou signed.
Monchi, who returned to the club as sporting director in the close season, has since overseen a massive overhaul of the squad and Amadou looks set to be the latest to be moved on.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel is overjoyed at the impact Mauro Icardi has had since joining on loan from Inter.
Icardi left Inter under something of a cloud, as his relationship with the club was said to have become increasingly strained after a frustrating season in which he scored only 11 Serie A goals.
He was then frozen out by new coach Antonio Conte and the striker eventually secured an exit on September 1, joining PSG on an initial loan deal for the 2019-20 campaign.
Since moving to Paris, the 26-year-old has found his mojo once again, scoring nine times in 11 Ligue 1 matches, helping to form a formidable front four with compatriot Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
