RG3 Media Training Camp Interview

"In a short time we've built great relationships", Griffin said of the camaraderie between he and his new Washington Redskin teammates. 

Griffin completed his first training camp session since officially signing with the team last week.

"The leaders are stepping up trying to make this team successful", Griffin said.  (Would that be the same 'leaders' we had the last four years?  Or different leaders?)

On team dedication Robert said that “Throwing with the guys over the break and doing those types of things gets you more familiar with them. And you can really see who’s truly dedicated and who you have to continue to stay on to make sure that they can show the team that they are dedicated. But aside from that, you know, just working with those guys is a great thing.”
We wonder which guys need that little extra 'attention' since there aren't really any team distractions to know of at this point.  (Save for the Redskins PR people who are trying to keep the media from doing their jobs.  Major controversy).

Hopefully they won't be talking the same thing that they have been for the last 20 years. 

If so, we're all in for another long, painfully laborious-to-watch Redskins football season.

Some Questions Are Just Plan Stupid!

Talk Show Hosts Ask: "Will RG3 Lose His Job Between Now and The Start of the Season?"

While changing the radio dial in my car today I happened upon the two 'other' sports radio jackals - this time over on ESPN - where the question during their 'Redskins At 1:00' segment was 'will RG3 lose his Job before the start of the season?

RG3: The Most Interesting Man in the League.  Official NFL gear. 
Oh how lucky the designer of this shirt is!  But it should be in B&G color.
What?   You're kidding me!  The Most Interesting Man In the League, lose his job?

What kind of idiots would even propose a question like that of a franchise starting quarterback?
It's like Rush Limbaugh saying after the 2008 election that he hopes President Obama fails.

These two guys, in essence, were saying they hope RG3 fails.   Oh, they're good at hiding behind their true feelings by saying things like, "I'm with you, I don't think he would lose his job."  All the while waiting with bated (bad) breath for Robert Griffin THE THIRD to submit to their demise.
This line of questioning is just ludicrous.   Instead of being supportive of the Redskins' new quarterback, they're already wishing him an ill fate.
 
How about for once, actually supporting the Redskins team.  No other city puts down their team as much as Washington does.  We may have had reason to do so, but the fans show up and buy the tickets no matter what. 

I already see fans donning their Redskins jerseys, painting their vehicles burgundy and gold, and displaying the big ol' curly R sticker on their cars.   Washington is ready for Football 2012.  They are ready for RG3, and RG3 is ready for Washington. 
Will you two lose YOUR jobs before the start of the season? Oh, how some wish you would!

Quit with the dumb projections.   If you really want to help the Washington fan base try Weight Watchers; and for the other guy on the show, stop acting like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.

Just shut up, sit back and enjoy the winning RG3 ride!
#HTTR!  #HTRG3!!!
