The network will provide encores of Geico SportsNet Central: RGIII in D.C. on May 1 at 5 p.m., May 3 at 9:30 p.m., May 4 at 4:30 p.m. and May 5 at 9:30 p.m. (subject to change.)
Shilling for the Redskins compromises our analytical independence, but, it’s OK. Griffin the Third is the biggest thing to hit town since the return of Joe Gibbs.
Success is not assured. Mike Shanahan has made only one correct quarterback decision since he arrived in Washington. He passed on Blaine Gabbert in the 2011 NFL Draft. Shanahan has to show more tolerance for rookie imperfection than he showed John Beck and more flexibility than he allowed Donovan McNabb. In short, he has to show that he has learned from the expience of the last two years.
We will save all that for training camp and the regular season. Today, Hog Heaven celebrates the arrival of Mr. Griffin.
HAIL!
