RG3 Graces NoVa Mag

So, just when RG3 tells reporters he's done with all the promotional work: - i.e. advertising, commercials, etc., - what do we find? The anointed one gracing the cover of Northern VA Magazine.

RG3 graces cover of Northern Virginia mag.

Actually, the cover was done well in advance of RG3 stating he's relinquishing the lime light to focus on the 2012 season, but it's worth noting that he's on the cover of one the area's premiere magazines.

The August issue, on stands now, talks about where Robert will buy his first house, and tries to cement Robert's status in our area. In an article titled 'Hail to the Redskins, or to the Chief?', writer Dan Friedell, discusses Griffin's first two months in D.C. as Griffin blurs the lines between quarterback and 'candidate'.

Well Friedell, we'll bet two things:
1) RG3 is the best quarterback this team will ever see (this decade), and
2) RG3 is a good 'candidate' for all things good that's continuing to come his way.

By the way, check out RG3, and the rest of the team, coaches and cheerleaders, this Saturday during the 2012 Redskin Fan Appreciation Day. It promises to be one of the most memorable FADs of our time.

No pun intended.

Let the Endorsements Begin

Last week Robert Griffin, III inked an endorsement deal making him the new face of the Subway sandwich franchise, as its 'biggest fan'.  Look for Subway print ads in SI and USA Today, coming soon.

Update. The RG3 Subway bust, in all its glory, was unvealed on Monday.  Two things:  We're not seeing a particular likeness, and #2 we're not getting an 'I like it' expression on RG3's (real) face.
More of a 'I'm not feeling this, at all' look. What say you?  But there's this one, too.

Additionally, Subway is set to design an RG3 bust, inspired by its “Smokehouse BBQ Chicken” made famous in Manhattan, New York. We're sure he's working on those Subway commercials right now, even as we're writing this article.

Griffin joins other famous pro athletes on the Subway endorsement train.  Among them the NBA's Blake Griffin, former NFL star Michael Strahan, and Olympic gold winner Michael Phelps.  (I wonder what Jared thinks about being etched out in favor of professional athletes?)
Back to RG3, though. 
Let the shoe endorsement begin.  Adidas has welcomed RG3 to the fold as 'the new face' of their brand. 

In the commercial spot Adidas writes, 'welcome to the family, robert'.  (Yes, in all lower case).

 

Griffin is also the face of the new Adidas shoe, the adiZero 5 Star.

Says Griffin in the commercial, "The adidas adiZero is a light shoe." Calling it "a great shoe to play football in."

Watch the vid, and those legs, below.
