Didn’t some news outlet announce that they were henceforth never going to use the word “Redskins” in connection with the NFL team that’s based in Washington DC?
Whatever happened to that?

I think RGIII may have lost some speed with his knee injury. The average player in the NFL lasts for 3 years...RGIII may be in that group.
Rypian??
They should save their picks. I’ll bet they could get Ryan Lindley for a song.
yes...I suspect you are right. He’s going to have to change his game, or he’ll be right there in that 3-4 year gap. I would guess he may survive for awhile as a backup, with hopes that he regains his mojo later on. We shall see.
