RG3 Watch: Griffin the Cowboy?

By Shane Ryan at

Oh mannnnn, it's day three of the Robert Griffin III Watch, aka GRIFFINSANITY, and I haven't slept for 72 hours. I'm just afraid I'm going to miss something, you know what I mean? What if there's a crazy rumor? What if there's a rumor that Griffin III and Eli Manning got in a fistfight at a McDonald's, and now he's going to the Redskins so he can have his revenge on the field for years to come?

In fact, let's make that an official rumor. I'm calling it. Eli, Griffin, McDonald's, Redskins. Post it on your blogs because it's as good as true. If you want a reason, just say that Griffin called the Shamrock Shake "total crap," and Eli has a Shamrock Shake tattoo on his foot. Instant conflict.

Here's a quick recap of the RG3 Griffinsanity Watch so far:

Day 1

Chris Ryan was all, hey, maybe he'll go to the Redskins/Browns/Dolphins/Eagles?

RG3 Watch: So ... Seattle? Or Maybe Kansas City?

Where will you land, Robert III of House Griffin?

That's been the question on everyone's minds since Rams COO Kevin "Scream-Off" Demoff announced his team would be willing to trade the no. 2 pick in the draft for the right price. They already gots Bradford, yo, and to hear them tell it, Slick Sammy works alone.

And who do you get with that no. 2 pick? None other than Mr. Griffin, the third of his name, he of the lightning feet and the winning smile. The face of a franchise, if I may be so bold. A surefire eight-time Super Bowl champion, and future President of the World. (Starting in 2019, that will be a thing.)

But who's gonna get him? Here at the Gryffindor Watch, we'll track it so you can keep on sneaking office doughnuts and hanging rubber bands on your ears until 5 p.m. comes to save your soul until the morning.

Let's begin at the source of all NFL news: the United Kingdom. (Please listen to like 10 seconds of this before continuing. Ten seconds only, though; more than that, and it starts getting super dirty.)
