This is the article I believe that Gruden called amateurish.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Britt's report about Griffin alienating teammates

I have never felt Griff was a diva or any sort of distraction. Seems to me to be a young kid with a great work ethic and a will to win. Do you think there is any truth to this crap about him alienating teammates?

It's rare to be liked by everybody on the team. Usually the guys who are most universally liked are the most irrelevant players on the roster. So to that end, I know that a few players and others in the org don't like Griffin. Why? I don't know

I wouldn't say that's the same as alienating. I mean I haven't heard of him doing something purposefully aimed at causing dissension.

There are definitely people who feel that or want others to think that though. Britt got that report from somewhere, she didn't make it up

My problem with the report was that it was clearly something pretty inflammatory and she should have known that. As such, a little more investigation should have been done which, I am pretty sure would have demonstrated that it's premise (interruption of Griffin's interview in locker room) was based on something other than any alleged "alienation."

Given the reaction from the locals, and inflammatory nature of the news, just seemed like pretty slipshod reporting.

Sort of like Rudy Ruettiger on that great Notre Dame team. Lol
Pretty much what I figured. I am so curious as to why there are some that dont like him.

Not everyone gets along, not everyone likes Cousins or McCoy either. In the end it's about playing football. All this gossipy BS is nauseating.

I'll volunteer for that assignment.

Seriously, though, she seems to be standing by the report even though the local guys have said it was aimed at the media not RGIII. It would be interesting to know who her source was because, although likely wrong, I don't she was making it up out of whole cloth.

Get the ball out quick doesnt mean squat if no one is open.
And that is going to happen.
It happens to all QBs.
Often.

I've heard announcers say a million times (after a successful play)
"with that much time, someone is going to get open" .

Our O-line sucks and if it didnt I bet we could have had 10+ more points on the board.
I'm ready to spend our first and second rounder on the OL.

He was talking about Britt's ... but this looks like a rehash of the same information.

They brought Haz to run the Steelers defense. He has only shown it once against Dallas. Other than that it's been a bunch of non adjustments and misuse of talent. He has lost it.
