Obama's spokesman said that the president thought Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III's performance in Sunday's game against the Vikings was "remarkable" and helped boost the city's spirits after a dispiriting Nationals playoff loss last week.

I wonder if Obama is aware of Baylor’s devout Christian roots and its continued committment to the Christian mission. From what I have read about Richard Griffin the 3rd he is from a family which has honorably served this nation in the Army of the US. He is well travelled and is well eduucated and is seemingly lacking in the in your face gabgsta motif of too many pro and college athletes. He seems as upstanding as Tim Tebow, if considerably more talented. Ndevertheless i expect Mr. Mara’s Giants to introduce Mr. Griffin into the perils of life in ther NFC East this Sunday.
So today we get quotes about RG3 and Nikki Minaj? Seriously, make it stop!...
RG3 is a nice man...(he said the best OOC place he played at was UConn's Rentschlar Field.) and barring any major injures..he'll be around for a while.
Maybe now he’ll win DC.
And, RGIII wears GREAT slcks!!
