The former star quarterback for Washington — and current Ring of Honor member of the NFL franchise — Joe Theismann, sounded awfully confident in a radio interview Monday that the new name of the team would be the Washington Commanders.
A few hours later, when his inadvertent announcement was going viral, he stated he did not know what the name would be.
It is unclear whether Theismann was confirming a tweet that suggested the Washington Football Team would be named the Commanders or whether he was assuming the viral tweet was correct.
