BREAKING: @AGKarlRacine announces his office is filing a consumer protection lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, Dan Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell.

"With this lawsuit we are standing up for DC residents who were repeated lied to and deceived." Racine: Snyder "participated" in the hostile workplace culture of the Commanders.

"You know his trick, he blamed, repeatedly the victims."

UPDATE: Tomorrow's "major announcement" by DC AG related to the Commanders will likely be about a civil case. U.S. Attorney's Office for DC would have to be involved in a criminal filing—and spox tells @FOS that it won't be part of the news conference. frontofficesports.com/ag-to-make-maj… There’s still the possibility of a criminal referral to the US Attorney. The DOJ would have to conduct its own probe into the allegations and could (eventually) file charges. That can take quite some time. Just wanted to lay that out as one potential outcome.

Brett Favre is (mostly) scrubbed from the @HallowApp website, but not the app itself.

My updated @FOS story on how brands have reacted — or more precisely haven’t reacted — to Favre’s ties to millions in alleged welfare fraud in Mississippi. ⤵️
🔗 frontofficesports.com/brands-are-qui… The company (per @crunchbase) has taken in $55 million in funding.

Last month, Hallow announced a deal with Notre Dame "to provide students... a personal resource to deepen their relationship with God and strengthen their mental health." prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

BREAKING: The former head of Mississippi’s welfare agency entered into a plea agreement with federal and state prosecutors — a huge turn in the scandal that could spell major trouble for Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre. documentcloud.org/documents/2267… Mississippi DHS director John Davis agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of the deal. He was a conduit for the alleged embezzlement of welfare funds that implicate former Gov. Phil Bryant, Favre and nonprofit boss Nancy New.

This is a text from Bryant to New about Favre.

NEW: Two companies that have deals with Brett Favre have quietly scrubbed the Hall of Fame QB from their sites as the allegations related to his connection to an alleged welfare fraud scheme in Mississippi continue to roll out. My @FOS story. frontofficesports.com/brands-are-qui… None of the four companies that have deals with Favre got back to me. That includes SiriusXM, which has MANY messages from me over the last week.

Copper Fit has had a deal with Favre for 8 years. It's still running ads, featuring Favre on its site. copperfitusa.com/pages/about-us…

The #Browns fans who set up the crass massage table display in the parking lot before yesterday's game basically can't be banned or face any real punishment by the team. Why? This is an actual First Amendment issue. The lot where the display was set up is owned by the City of Cleveland. Even if Browns found the display offensive, those fans have 1A protections since the symbolic speech occurred on government-owned land. Source tells @FOS any punishment would be "difficult" to carry out.

NEW: @OversightDems invite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Commanders owner Daniel Snyder to testify in front of the committee.

.@CongressmanRaja: “For seven months, the Committee has been stonewalled by NDAs and other tools to evade accountability. Mr. Snyder and Mr. Goodell need to appear before the Committee to address these issues and answer our questions about the pervasive workplace misconduct."

UPDATE: Legislators in Virginia table Washington Commanders stadium bill on eve of expected vote, @FOS has confirmed. VA Stadium Authority bill could still come to the floor at a later date. (h/t @EricFlackTV) frontofficesports.com/fate-of-washin… @FOS @EricFlackTV .@whoisjwright is taking the delay in stride.

Of note: Harry Leroy Halladay Jr. (Halladay's father) told the NTSB he was "concerned that Roy was abusing prescription medications, and that may have played a role in the accident. ... Roy was enrolled in an in- house detox program for an addiction to Lorazepam."
