LOL. A little late there aren't you?

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

Soooo.... other then green and white what is the color Baylor uses?

I know it sounds like a moronish question, but... that is the color gold I'd prefer to see our team using on its uniforms with burgundy.

I know it's not the uniform thread but while looking at the video's I noticed it and thought how nice.... we could use that color gold to make RG3 feel more at home. JK.

But I do like the gold.

I know there are a ton of "golds" out there to include what 90% of us would call "yellow". Thanks.

Here is unfortunately where I got my info:

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baylor_University]Baylor University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]

perhaps wiki is wrong and I apologize but they list the school colors as "Green and Gold".

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

Also Monkeydad....

look at the supporting colors for both era's.

current: Black? when have they used black as the supporting color? and the color next to it is not "flesh tone". lol. It could be "maroon"

Yes I like the earlier era better. Maroon is darker and the (in my eye's and crayon box) yellow is darker. I'd still prefer a more metal color vs. the yellowish version of gold. Baylor's "gold" is nice as well as Florida State University's "gold".

Hey NC_Skins, is this your license plate? LOL.

The additional colors are just those found in the Indian head logo.

What we use is typically called Athletic Gold. Most people call it yellow mistakenly.


Anyway, lets steer this back in the right direction...RGIII's pro day:

I swear this guy has been too good to be true. What is there not to like about RG3??

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

I figure i'd put this hear. we have seen in many interviews RGIII making the claim that he wasn't going to buy a new flashy Bently like the other skins players. HE was basically gonna ride his Chrystler to camp and Redskins Park. Most of us found it refreshing. However then I found this TMZ styled website claiming that his fiance was out shopping for a Bently's in Bethesda.

I don't care what car Robert drives or his chick for that matter... but if this is true I knda feel like why lie about something so small. Why make a big deal about not buying a car, not being a pre- madonna if you know you will. Does he think fans are stupid? Maybe Im over reacting but it seems kinda two faced IMO.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

I never heard him talk about cars and I could really care less what he or his woman drives.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

If I was him, I would be in a....celebritorial mood as well. AND a new rig would be on my short list. Beyond that, why would anybody care?

Don't really care but we all KNOW $$$ make you do crazy things.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

For me it's not whether or not he is buying a car or celebrating by spending some money. For me it just why tell the media in multiple interviews and the public that you aren't gonna do that. If you do, it okay who cares. Just don't make a big todo how your not that type of guy and your not going to do it.

What if he's buying it for her and he sticks with his own ride?

Would that make you feel better?

Man, the scrutiny this kid is under already is insane.

I understand Matty its not a big deal in the long run. When you're married (they soon will be) what's hers is his and vice versa

I don't think he was born pre-Madonna so it is pretty much irrelevant.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;914204]I never heard him talk about cars and I could really care less what he or his woman drives.[/QUOTE]

I agree 100%. I never heard him make the statement, and honestly even if he did that is silly to hold him to it. I imagine every round 1 pick will be driving a shiny new toy within a week or two.

A side note the comments on that article are really terrible, i hope one day even idiots will understand how dumb racial comments make you sound.

Such a non-story. People are acting like he held a tour of press conferences to specifically address the type of car he would drive

He is SUPPOSED to buy his woman a Bentley. lol If he said he will drive a Pacifica to practice then I believe him. When he decides to buy a nice car for himself then good for him - I will not hold it against him. It does not make him a liar or a "pre-madonna".

Have you seen him driving a Bentley to practice?

No, he doesn't think fans are stupid. Yes, you are over reacting.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

Wait, what?
Since when is there something wrong with a dude buying something nice for girl?

Dude, it's media take out. I troll that site and its scuzzier than TMZ. Get some reliable sources. Pleeeasssee.

And when I say scuzzier, while some of the things are true and pan out... Think of Weekly World News but celebrity gossip. There ya go.

Maybe if we were Detroit, and the draft pick was trying to kiss up to a specific auto maker, I would understand the thinking that he was trying to pull one over on the fans. But does anyone here really care what he drives? Sounds more like his dad was protecting his son's integrity or values, then declaring an outright ban on Bentley's for anyone named Griffin.

I still can't get over this even causing a minor ripple. Fans and media can get hilarious.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

Guess we better get used to hearing crap like this. My wife says lately he's been in TMZ almost daily. They had a blurb about him eating a pizza the day of the draft. He got pepperoni in case anyone cares. He said he got cheese. Not sure why he would lie about stuff like that. What a jerk.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

Here's what I know. Pretty much I am sure all pro athletes are precisely defined by the car they drive so by buying a Bentley for his lady he is clearly an awful person who only thinks about himself and doesn't care about football or his team. We are doomed and might as well get used to the fact that he is a selfish son of a b*tch.

On a related note. All athletes also should be held to the highest of scrutiny against the things they say off-handedly in interviews since they aren't actually human beings responding on-the-fly to unknown questions from reporters but rather sentient automatons with the ability to immediately calculate perfectly considered, precise and practical responses.

Re: RGIII Highlights Thread
 

I don't care if people want to report it, but to get worked up over it and say RGIII must think fans are stupid and that he's two faced is idiotic

Couldn't have said it better.

I don't care what he buys his girl, I don't care what he says he's going to do or not going to do with his own money. All I care about is winning games. Why get caught up in any of this?

Reading this thread makes me feel the same way as when my wife turns on Entertainment Tonight... "who the F cares about this bulls___, I need a beer."
