Washington Releases QB Haskins

Coach says Taylor Heinicke will start Sunday’s season finale at Philadelphia if Alex Smith is unable to return from his calf injury.

(Ashburn, VA) — The Washington Football Team is parting ways with quarterback Dwayne Haskins. The team has released the 2019 first-round draft pick, with head coach Ron Rivera saying it benefits both parties to go their separate ways. The move comes after Haskins was benched during Sunday’s loss to Carolina. He was just 14-of-28 for 154 yards and two interceptions before getting replaced by Taylor Heinicke in the fourth quarter. Haskins has thrown for just 1,439 yards, five touchdowns and seven picks in seven games this season. Rivera says Heinicke will start Sunday’s season finale at Philadelphia if Alex Smith is unable to return from his calf injury. Washington can clinch the NFC East Division with a win.

”Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta” cast members Sierra Gates and BK Brasco recently took to social media to announce their engagement.
In an interview with MadameNoire, the couple talked about their relationship and their decision to be celibate for a year. “We love each other like love. A different type of love. We even took sex out of the equation for a whole year,” she said, adding that God told Brasco that He would bless him if he didn’t touch her for a year.

We talked about those celebrity couples who chose celibacy before marriage and it was honest, transparent and hella hilarious. I really do love that @frankski and I can have these convos on the airwaves. It truly helps me “better understand” the psyche of a man lol. Tap in y’all, would y’all choose celibacy for a year if it would mean a better relationship in the long run! Here’s a 3 min clip of our hour long convo! We bring the fire on the @frankskishow on @whurfm! Trust and believe, happy hour starts at 3pm in the DMV. 🍻
