Robert Griffin III lacking class?
People of the greater Washington D.C. area love Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. He could almost do nothing wrong and that’s typical of a fan base and their beloved athletes.
Griffin has recently received some flack for posting the tweet below of him lying on some boxes with a smirk on his face after receiving so many wedding gifts from his fans.

Rich Campbell of the Washington Times believes Griffin didn’t handle the backlash in a classy way.
Campbell referenced the following tweets that Griffin posted:
Because you are rich you are not allowed to receive gifts and any gifts you receive should be donated to charity???? #WOW Smh…

Bruce Allen says it’s too early to tell if RG3 will be ready for the start of training camp
Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen told The Washington Post that it’s too early to know if quarterback Robert Griffin III will be ready for the start of training camp.
“It’s great to hear the building is on schedule, ahead of schedule, and I’ve heard all those same phrases for our quarterback,” Allen said. “It’s too early to tell right now. He is doing everything that the doctors want him to do. He’s a great worker. I think that’s why there’s so much optimism that he’ll be ready at the beginning. But it’s really too premature to speculate on where his medical condition is until we give him a physical when training camp starts July 25.”
Allen wouldn’t say what Griffin will be doing during OTA’s.
“You’ll get to see when you all come out there on Thursday,” Allen said. “He’s been doing a lot of drill work on his own with the other injured players. He has to just follow the doctors’ and the trainers’ advice on a daily basis.”

Redskins Training Camp Battles: Defensive Backs
Will the rookies shine in camp? **This is the first post in my Camp Battles series where I will be taking a look at the position by position training camp battles that we need to keep an eye on** On this date it is hard to pick the five players who will see the most playing time in the secondary week one. Right now, I think the corner backs who will see the most playing time in week one are: Josh Wilson, DeAngelo Hall and E.J. Biggers By mid season though, there is a good chance that second round draft pick David Amerson will replace Biggers as the third corner back in the Skins’ rotation. The final roster spot should be Richard Crawford’s. This means that Chase Minnifield is going to be on the practice squad for a year of development. Just like the corner backs it is hard to predict which safeties will make the roster but at this point I will try. Everyone knows that if Brandon Meriweather is healthy, he will win one starting spot but the other spot is up in the air. The rookie s…
Redskins fans buying RG3 wedding gifts
We reported last week that Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is scheduled to marry his long-time girlfriend in July. We even have a photo of his registry from Bed Bath and Beyond.
Griffin sent out a tweet to thank all of his fans for their generosity.
I didn’t ask the fans to buy me anything. They found it on their own and decided to get what they could. SMH at all these Debbie downers

Redskins fans are certainly more than generous since they’re probably averaging a salary of $70,000 a year while Griffin is bringing in millions.

Redskins will have quite a battle at the running back position
According to CSNWashington.com, it looks like the Redskins will have quite a competition at running back this coming summer. Roy Helu is expected to compete with Chris Thompson and Evan Royster will battle with Jawan Jamison for two roster spots.
The next two weeks figure to be particularly important for Helu, Thompson and Jamison. Helu needs to show that he’s sufficiently recovered from the toe injury that sidelined him for 13 games last season. Thompson must showcase his work habits and ability to pick up the playbook while watching from sidelines as he recovers from knee surgery. And Jamison simply needs to prove he’s better than his 228th overall status suggests.
I have a feeling both Thompson and Jamison have a very good chance at beating out Royster and Helu who both have battled injuries throughout their careers so far.

RG3 thanks fans after being showered with wedding gifts
People sure do love RG3.
How much so? Enough to shower him with wedding gifts even though he could probably buy them all himself.
News broke earlier in the month that Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was getting married July 6th to his longtime fianc Rebecca Liddicoat, and the couple had registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It didn’t take long for the Baylor-alum’s fans to take action and congratulate the QB on his big day.
Earlier this morning, RG3 tweeted a shot of him standing in a room filled with packages of items from the registry and thanked all the fans for their blessings.
But, not everyone is happy to see the rich get richer. One ‘Debbie Downer’ tweeted “something is wrong when the poor buy goods for the rich. Hmmm.” to which RG3 replied “Which is why I appreciate the gesture.”
Even with all the fans hospitality, there are still some items that have yet to be fulfilled, so feel free to show your support as well. The Vera Wang Toasting Flutes are still
Fans Have Really Showered Robert Griffin III and Rebecca Liddicoat With Wedding Gifts
It seems like the actual guests to Robert Griffin III’s wedding this summer to Rebecca Liddicoat might have a little trouble finding something to get the happy couple. Word is that there is not much left on the registry for folks to buy.
The fans have been busy knocking the stuff on the registry out!
The happy couple announced their wedding date not even two weeks ago (July 6). An enterprising young blogger (not this guy) discovered they were registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, posted a link to it, and fan have taken it from there.

Of the 200+ gifts there are not too many left. There are some expensive ones still left, but I would be willing to bet that RG3 is hoping for someone to hook him up with that programmable bread maker and a jerky maker.
The outpouring of lover and affection from the fans has to be pr
Fans buy up all the gifts from Robert Griffin III’s wedding registry
A few weeks ago, Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III and his fiancé Rebecca’s wedding registry was posted here and several other sites. Redskin fans must really love RG3 because he was flooded with wedding gifts from fans who sent him everything on the list six week before the ceremony is set to take place. RG3 took to his Twitter account to thank his fans for the cool gesture.

Not everyone thought the flood of wedding gifts was cute. Apparently some of his fans felt that a millionaire NFL QB shouldn’t accept the gifts.

Redskins Fans Go a Little Overboard Buying RG3 Wedding Gifts (Photo)
When RG3′s gift registry for his wedding to Rebecca Liddicoat was leaked by us and others, I figured fans would get him a few gifts here and there, I didn’t know this would happen.

Bed Bath & Beyond must be ecstatic about the amount of business they are getting. They should give RG3 a lifetime gift card.
It is good to see how strongly the Redskins fans support their quarterback. I would imagine RG3 will give some of this stuff away, since there are only so many mittens a man can have.
RGIII receives loads of wedding gifts from fans (Photo)

RGIII thanks fans for wedding gifts
Robert Griffin III is getting married, and many Redskins fans aren’t invited to wedding. That hasn’t stopped them from buying their star player everything he asked for, though. The Redskins quarterback thanked his fans on Sunday for buying all of the items from his wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond. The registry was previously discovered by the DC Sports Bog, prompting generous well-wishers to spring into action. Thank you to the Fans who are helping buy ALL the items from our wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond … say.ly/MLw5Rbg— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 19, 2013 Lest any “Debbie Downers” criticize the multimillionaire quarterback for having fans buy him presents, Griffin was quick to point out that fans came by his registry on their own and decided to buy the gifts without any prompting. Griffin and his bride-to-be, Rebecca Liddicoat , are expected to tie the knot on July 6. Thumbnail photo via Twitter/@RGIII
NFL Star: ‘Brock Lesnar Will Win At Extreme Rules’
Redskins running back Alfred Morris joined teammate Adam Carriker and Chuck Carroll on their pro wrestling radio show, 4th & Pain.
