Can someone please tell me what kind of weed this is and how to kill it. I
have had them for 2 years and can't seem to be able to get rid of them.

Looks like barnyard grass or such. You likely picked it up from straw
used for grass seed covering. A pre emergent application in late
February may reduce it. It usually dies off during the heat of the
summer though. It travels like poa annum; seeds from an annual.

That's what it looks like to me.

It might be nutsedge. Are the stems V shaped (almost triangular)?

If so "Image" is supposed to kill it

I have orchard grass in some parts of the lawn. Paler green, clumping,
grows faster than the rest of the grass, extremely coarse, perennial.
(I let some clumps grow up to bloom to get the ID.)

A sponge or wick with "Roundup" brushed across the part of the clump
that sticks up above the rest of the lawn might work without doing damage
to the good grass if you are very careful.

That's a good idea, I will let some grow to see what it turns into.
Sponging would be tetious but better then killing everying.

The area that has this week was reseaded a few years ago and covered with
hay. I'm sure "whatever" it is came from cheap sead of the hay.

The stems are round or oval shaped..

What does this plant look like when it comes out of the ground? Does
it go horizontal for a bit, before then curving upward? And are the
bottom sections near the ground reddish?

It looks like thick grass but each strand starting from the same center
point.

It seems to go vertical right away.

Completely green.

I will try to take a better picture of on of the weeds I let grow and post.

Then it sounds like it's different than what I have in some spots in my
lawn. It sounds like what you have is a weed grass too though. There
are selective herbicides that will kill many weed grasses, but not harm
turf. I zapped the weed grass I have with Acclaim and it's working on
it. Regular broadleaf weed killers won't work on these, because they
are not broadleaf weeds. Acclaim is generally sold in commercial
quantities. You might want to try something like Ortho Crabgrass
killer, which is another selective grass killer and should be easier to
find. It not only kills crabgrass, but also other weed type grass.
That is the type of product you'll need, unless you want to resort to
using Roundup and reseeding.
