For the record, at least one NFL reporter made it very very clear and explicit more than 24 hours ago that the NFL had not actually banned the use of smelling salts

"A lot of the big-dollar guys in this league, as good as they are, they come with a lot of baggage. And LT’s got none.” From taking young teammates under his wing to making his QB fall in love, Laremy Tunsil has made a big impression in Washington. washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/08…

That being said, if WaPo’s in a rebuild I can promise you one thing after 10-plus years here: Plenty of talent still on the roster, and everyone on that roster plays to win.

1/2 So ... this one hurts. Sally Jenkins is 1 of 1. Will we replace her? No, because we can't. She is a writer of unmatched style, a thinker who's two steps ahead of you before you even sit down. This isn't a sports dept. loss. It's an institutional blow. theatlantic.com/press-releases…
