How is RGIII?

[TimFolk]

RG needs to just work on walking and then learning to run again.

You just have to get braids... that helps.

I guess I need to get them too. Or dreads or corn rows. And a big gold Flava Flave clock to wear around my neck.

Wait, does this make me a cornball cracker????

Thanks fellas... I just emailed him... Here is what I wrote:

Mr. Milloy,

Your article stating that the injury to RG3 is a result of a Native American curse might be the most absurd and disgusting editorial I have ever read.

And it is also ironic. Your point the finger at the insensitivity of the name Redskins while writing a terribly insensitive piece yourself. By all accounts, Griffin is a great young man and someone that DC can be very proud to have a representative. He is obviously dealing with a difficult and I'm sure frightening issue for him. To write an "I told you so" piece insinuating that he was somehow targeted by a curse is downright incredibly insensitive and insulting to RG3, his family, and his fans.

It also screams of you desperately seeking attention. This is a huge story locally and even nationally right now and you choose an injury to a 22 year old as a prime opportunity to push an agenda that is entirely unrelated to this specific matter. It's obvious why you did it... And it's shameful.

I am not debating the team name here. I am open minded on the issue and as a fan I honestly would be accepting if they changed the name. That is not the debate here. What you've done is weaken your own position on the matter. Rather than compose something well thought out and civil, you pounced on a big news story and concocted an asinine correlation-- it makes you look like a quack and completely devalues any merit your position might have.

I do not know you and have no desire to make a judgement on you as a person. All I can judge is the piece you published. And I'm sorry to say, it's about the biggest piece of trash I've ever read. Thank you for your time,

Ed Kleese

Great write up...but I think anyone emailing him should either think to send the email to the post OR cc them. What utter garbage

[spjunkies]

I can't believe the Washington Post allowed that to be published...

wow

So when is the surgery

[Lavarleap56]

I definitely agree with the sentiment here, but isn't Andrews part of that team?

Not really... Andrews fixes the injury and gives a recommendation on a rehab plan to the training staff. The training staff is responsible for implementing and carrying out the rehab on a daily basis.

So when is the surgery

Great - this is going to be a lingering issue throughout his career

[Passepartout]

He wants to be back for his team. He is a team player. Just needs resting and rehab in between. As he will be back as he is itching to be back. That is one of the may things I love about RGIII. He is a team player and does not want to let his team down!

[mikeDinNYC]

pathetic... the washington post has become fox "news"... disgusting and reprehensible.

[GothSkinsFan]

At least with his grounding, he'll have time to catch up on his technical journals.
