Washington issued a lovely good luck in your retirement to Alex Smith in a press release last week. They probably thought it would be the last time that they had to issue a press release on the retiring former player. It seemed almost metallic to read at the time. Perhaps it felt that way to the quarterback as well.
Not only did Smith not go gently into that good night, he is the subject of many-to-most of the Washington headlines in the last 24 hours.
