I no longer follow the NFL, but when I hear "Commander", I think of the WH dog. n/t Harker Monday #7

I think of The Handmaid's Tale. milestogo Monday #9

Commander. My favorite bitey dog! Wish he could make an appearance to bite Roberts and T(Felon)G. FSogol Monday #27

It could happen, if he gets a ticket to the inauguration. Harker Monday #34
