Robert Griffin III

?When I first met him, we were passing on the stairs [at Redskins Park], and he stopped me and said, ?I?m Robert Griffin III. I?m the quarterback they drafted in the first round,? ? recalled fullback Darrel Young. ?I just looked at him and thought, ?Yep, we?re going to be just fine here. This kid is as humble as they come.??

Pre-tay, pre-tay amazing. And to think I thought the break was a great time to euthanize this "shit franchise."

Who knows, maybe we'll be obliterated by the soaring Seahawks.

I think it should be a slugging match, will be interesting to see the #1 defense going against our offense and rushing attack. I think a huge factor is us playing at home, Seahawks were undefeated at home this year. Can't wait to see what Haslett draws up to slow down Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.

Bob vs Russ, according to the ESPN NFC West blog

I guess comparing both quarterbacks from week 8-17 is way more fair because Griff missed 1 game and has played with a limiting knee brace in the last 2.

But, nowhere in the article is that mentioned.

I'm sick of the comparisons. I just want to be at the game watching the Skins decimate the team and silencing all the naysayers.

Dr. James Andrews:

"I'm the one that shut him down that day, finally," Andrews told USA Today. "I've been a nervous wreck letting him come back as quick as he has. He's doing a lot better this week, but he's still recovering and I'm holding my breath because of it.

"He passed all the tests and all the functional things we do, but it's been a trying moment for me, to be honest with you."

Andrews was on the field that day and there is a dispute as to how the injury was originally handled. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Andrews cleared RG3 to return. Andrews said that didn't happen. Griffin went back in for four plays before shutting it down.

"He didn't even let us look at him," Andrews said. "He came off the field, walked through the sidelines, circled back through the players, and took off back to the field. It wasn't our opinion.

"We didn't even get to touch him or talk to him. Scared the hell out of me."

i don't know much about football . . . except i love watching it, and i do love the redskins because i grew up in most of virginia and lived near the springfield mall when they won the big one against the dolphins.  but i always thought they were a cursed team, whether it is the name or whatever.  i think that rg3 will be the next cursed player where an injury will sideline and eventually be the end of a career.

Isn't it hilarious that 37 year old Ray Lewis is retiring so that he can watch his son play college football?

I think this has the potential to be a story…

sorry about your redskins.  But at least my ravens won.

What's your point?

That game was wonderful yesterday.

Mike Shanahan has never been good friends with the truth.

Anyone else have douche chills run through their body when Ray Lewis came out of the tunnel to Hot in Hurr and then rubbed sod all over his chest?

Christ, good riddance!

Went to the game, the stadium was ROCKING. First time I've EVER heard FedEx like that. I was up in a suite and the floor was shaking like there was an earthquake. I think just about every seat was full by the time kickoff came around.

Incredibly bittersweet way to end the season and on top of that, it will be tainted by Shannahans dishonesty. Ive heard rumors of a torn meniscus or a torn MCL. Christian Ponder had swelling in his elbow and he was benched, granted I think he's fucking terrible and the Vikes would had still had their peckers smashed. Even stilll, I would have liked to see someone stop Robert from going back into the game. I know the doctor is paid by the team, but he can put his foot down like he said he did a couple weeks back. It's a shame to have a magical run end the way it did and with all the talk of it being a "new regime" you can't help but think "same old…."
