Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread

[scowan]

I don't watch ESPN for NFL news that's for sure. I just watch the NFL Network.
This whole thing about fans giving RG3 and his soon to be wife gifts is silly. So everytime I give someone a gift that has more money than me I should be ashamed and they should feel guilty for accepting it? Or everytime some one gives me a gift that has less money than me, I should give it to charity? That's what it boils down to. A gift is just that a gift and in the case of the fans, who cares what their motivation is. Wheither it s a way of saying thanks to RG3 or just to tell their friends that they gave him a gift, its their money to spend as they please. I just got back from a vaction in Florida where I spent way too much on fruity drinks at the beach, but no one is going to tell me I'm crazy for doing that.

that is the liberal/socialist mindset in a nutshell. no gifts at all, unless everyone is equal. screw those rich people, nogiftsforyou. tey didnt build that, et cetera (insert democrat slogan here)

That was a bizarre comment

[Skinzman]

To many people worried about perception. The reality is the people who go on to win championships tend to believe that they can win championships. In other words, they are arrogant. I hope RG3 is arrogant. I dont want a choir boy, I want a SB victory.

Michael Jordan is not a nice guy. Never has been. But who exactly cares when you can put 6 rings on your fingers? If RG3 wins a SB as the Redskins QB, who exactly is going to care about twitter from after his rookie year? The only thing wrong with him accepting gifts is that he doesnt have a ring yet. If he did, no one would care.

We have to deal with the media and RG3's dad giving interviews. We used to have to deal with a team that was led by Vinny. I will take a talkative dad and media hype all day long over Vinny. Its not like hes married to a supermodel who goes on a drunken rage and bashes his team mates when they lose an important game, but then again, 2 rings justify that.

With success comes exposure, and it seems some would rather go back to a 3-13 record than deal with the media crap that comes with being relevant. I am thrilled RG3 is here, warts and all. People expect him to be perfect. You are just reaching way to far on what should be expected. Perfection is not going to happen.

RG3 and RG2 need to stop talking about last years injury and the Seattle game. Quit blaming the coach with these stupid tweets and interviews, it was the whole organizations fault from Medical Staff to Coaches and to you RG3.

I love his play on the field but all these subtle jabs and shifting blame is getting annoying.

Could not agree more. This is getting ridiculous. Why is his dad on TV? Why is RG3 and his gf going out to dinner with Snyder and his wife? All the jabs through the media and going back and forth regarding the Seattle game needs to stop. This is reminding me of the old days with all the BS drama. Someone needs to sit everyone down and tell everyone to STFU.

I haven't heard any of whatever you are talking about, but it sounds more like media looking for any story to do with Griffin. As for Griffin and Snyder having dinner, I imagine it's tied around the wedding.

If you don't want to hear it, just don't watch them.

49er's Crabtree likely out a year with a torn achilles. That sucks.

Edit: Dammit, this was meant for the NFL Off Season thread. Damn my crippling illiteracy!

Everywhere I look RG3 is there...There is something about his character that leaves much to be desired. He's still young but to me he doesn't seem like a genuine person. He needs to shut his mouth and Tweeting, keep it real and moving.

So because he's a person of dynamic character he should stop all communications? I hardly think he's to blame for a media who dissects and analyzes every word he says or letter he types. I never get te sense that he's actively trying to seek out the attention. I think most mediaites realize that RG3 is popular and, therefore, what he says has resonance with people.

I think once the honeymoon period is truly over and people start to obsess over the next big name, then he'll step away from the constant barrage of coverage.

Why tweet about your life if your not wanting attention.

Should everyone close down their twitter and Facebook accounts then?

Judgmental much?

Not genuine? Really? When the comment from everyone who meets him is that he makes you believe in him and want to be around him?

I don't know the guy from Adam, but, judging just on the reactions of those who have actually met him, he is everything he appears to be.
