Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels capped off his historic rookie season by taking home Rookie of the Year honors from New Orleans on Thursday night.

Daniels became the fifth player in Commanders franchise history to win the award and the fourth offensive player to do so. He’s also the second quarterback in franchise history to earn the honor.

Washington football is back in a big way, so big that media company Capitol Outdoor put up a massive billboard on New York Avenue in D.C. on Friday morning, saluting Daniels and the Commanders.

Commanders fans enjoyed a season 33 years in the making. Let’s hope it’s just the beginning.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
