Griffin on Extortion Claim

If "pressure make diamonds" then vultures circle high.

RG3 is calling the extortionist, and others who want some of the deep pockets of pro athletes, "vultures".  This after 25 year old Richard Hurd, one of the students at Griffin's Baylor alma mater, tried to dip into the pockets of the RG3 Dynasty, albeit indirectly.

Griffin said Tuesday, "There's vultures out there, people looking to climb on top of all your money."

The incident comes on the heels of Griffin finishing up a rookie symposium that discussed the very topic of people trying to get at highly paid athletes.  (Many of you WISHED you had such a problem).

"There's a fine line between guarding yourself and being guarded," the rookie QB said. "I think I do a pretty good job of guarding myself, even with this situation. It's just something unfortunate that happened so I think guys can learn. It's just something that everyone can learn from and just move on."

Just tell us already what the storyline is Robert.   It's better to get it out now, before the season starts, than be half-way through the seaason and find out.

The Redskins don't need any more distractions about anything negative.   To not have any negativity circling around Redskins Park would suggest a utopian Redskins society, though wouldn't it?

And we know that society doesn't exist.

Stay tuned.
