RG3 Uses Local Man's Pool to rehab.

Full disclaimer I'm a cowboys fan. So simply ignore the fact that the Redskins didn't prepare an adequate enough facility in Richmond,Va(my home town) to allow their Qb to properly rehab.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way. This is the heartwarming tale of a superstar quarterback reaching out to the community and the community embracing him right back.

Out of the blue Leesburg native, Lee Kestler receiver an email from RG3 himself. “I got an email from Colin at HydroWorx, and it says Robert Griffin III – please call me,” Lee Kestler told Gregg Mace from ABC 27 in Harrisburg. “And I showed it to my friends at the table, and I said ‘Look at this spam e-mail that I just got about Robert Griffin.’ I said, ‘I can’t believe I’m getting this, I’ll deal with it when I get back.

“Robert had started doing some training at  Dr. Andrews,” Kestler went on. “They were going to put some pools in at Redskins Park. They’re trying to train in pools, now, that are public pools – Landsdowne Resort is an example – but he’s continually getting mobbed by people. And he loves the fans, but they also need to be able to focus. And because you have a pool and you’re the closest one to Redskins Park, and we’d like to keep Robert local, would you be interested in allowing Larry Hess and Robert to come to the house and train in the pool? And I said, ‘Well, I’ll think about it.’”

And of course Kestler allowed Griffin to use his pool like any good fan would. One more reason why I can't wait for the season to start: I'm seek of these off the field RG3 updates, ugh.

RG3's Dad Calls Running QB's losers

 Robert Griffin II isn't shy when it comes to critiquing the Washington Redskins play calling and usage of his son. In May, the elder Griffin told the Washington Post he wanted to see his son throw the football "a lot" more this season and he double down on those comments and went a step further in the last issue of GQ magazine. 

"You tell a kid that you want him to be there for fourteen years, guess what?  Historical data will tell you that the more he runs, the more subject he is to career injury.  You name one quarterback out there that would rather run the football than throw the football and I'll show you a loser."

Strong words. Overall RG2 is looking out for the well being of RG3. However, he isn't doing him any favors. Griffin already created a mini-drama this week when he questioned Redskins coach Mike Shanahan's time table for his return.  

Both Griffins, father and son would be wise if they stopped airing their grievances publicly.

Sweet Sixteen Pool Party Interupts RG3's Pool Rehab

“He was doing therapy in the pool and we were coming in and my friend amanda was like you look like RG3 and he said I am, and then we asked for pictures and he said he’d take pictures when he was done!” one of the girls later explained on Twitter.

RG3 shows how classy he is by offerring words of encouragment to Tony Romo after his latest choke job.

RG=Class act

There's a reason why RG3 is RG3. This story is an example of everything that makes this kid the perfect face of a franchise. Moments after the biggest win of his young career, Griffin waded through the post game masses to offer heartfelt words of encouragement to his fallen rival.

If he weren't a redskin I think RG3 would be my favorite player in the league.

Thanks to the NFL Films microphones, we now know what Griffin said: Griffin, who surely knew that Romo was about to face a hailstorm of criticism for his three-interception game against the Redskins, was attempting to lift Romo’s spirits.
“Hey Tony. I just wanted to say to you, don’t listen to what anybody else is saying about you. You’re a great quarterback, man. And this game doesn’t mean anything,” Griffin said to Romo, in comments that will air Wednesday night on Showtime’s Inside the NFL.

Daniel Synder can't help himself

To call this shocking is to conveniently forget everything we know about Daniel Snyder. Sure he's played the part of good owner as of late, he hired a "football guy" and has been very quiet but this move reeks of the kind of desperation and reaching that only Snyder can provide. Snyder saw a shiny toy and like a puppy he had to take a run at it no matter the cost.

This is not an indictment on the talents of RG3. Its possible that he will succeed in spite of a meddling owner and obstinate coach.(he is that good) His success will be made more difficult by franchise that gave away 3 first round picks and a second to move up four spots in the draft. The logic is baffling.

Snyder and company have fallen for the narrative that the only thing a team needs is a quarterback and after that everything will fall into place. Its a myth. Every quarterback especially young ones need weapons, or at the very least players that fit perfectly into their coaches scheme. The Skins best wide out is arguably a tight end or a guy in his mid 30's. But instead of rebuilding slowly through the draft, Snyder has decided to mortgage his entire future on RG3. Its not a bad bet, except now that he's bought the house he can't afford to put any furniture in it. Hell he can't afford the electricity bill.

As a huge RG3 fan I hope the kid does well. But the very first hurdle he will face will not come in the form of a 300 pound D end but in the form of his own organization.
